Proteas potential 'scares and excites' me, says coach Shukri Conrad
Even when they had their backs to wall at the end of the first innings, he had little to say.
'I think we knew we were behind. But again, the hallmark of this team is the ability to stand up.
'And different guys can stand up when the occasion demands, I spoke of Aidan's broad bat — he doesn't like me to refer to him as a superstar. But when you need your Rolls Royce to come purring through down the street, and he does that, I'm talking about KG Rabada now.'
He also raved about Lungi Ngidi, whose nine-over spell in Australia's second innings captured three wickets, including that of Steve Smith.
'That spell of Lungi pretty much turned the test match in our favour. The world's best batsman — he stood between us chasing 280 and maybe 380.'
Even though they won comfortably in the end, Conrad said he didn't believe the team had played to their full potential.
'There's so much else sitting in this changing room and it scares me and it excites me at the same time, where we can go with this.
'I really look forward to the next couple of years.'

Proteas confidence validated after World Test Championship final win, says Marco Jansen
Proteas paceman Marco Jansen feels that he can grow a lot more in his bowling. Photo: AFP Image: AFP Proteas fast bowler Marco Jansen believes that winning the World Test Championship will give them the confidence that they need to take on the tours that lie ahead. South Africa have tours to Pakistan and India later this year, two countries where they have not won a Test series in a long time. In fact, apart from their series victory in Bangladesh last year, their first on the sub-continent in a decade, the Proteas have struggled in that region. To make matters worse, having won the World Test Championship, there will be more pressure on the team now as all eyes will be on them to witness how they begin their defence of the trophy in the upcoming 2025-2027 WTC cycle. However, Jansen emphasised that they have added confidence following their heroics at Lord's last week. It is warranted confidence, as they beat Australia to become the world Test champions, a team that are almost unbeatable in the finals of ICC events. 'Winning against them in the final with that bowling line-up, with that batting line-up definitely gives us a lot of confidence going forward,' Jansen said this week. 'We already had confidence, but it's sort of like just confirmation that, okay, cool, we actually can go and we can put the performances in when it's needed. So, yeah, definitely a good feeling.'

Next Stay Close ✕ Our ICC World Test Champions, the Proteas men, were welcomed in an exclusive fashion at the @SuperSportTV offices at the World of Champions. 🔥🏆#WTCFinal #WozaNawe #ProteasWTCFinal — Proteas Men (@ProteasMenCSA) June 19, 2025 Jansen missed out on the tour to Bangladesh as he was placed on a strength and conditioning block, and will thus have his first taste of Test cricket on the Asian sub-continent later this year. It is a good thing that the youngster is still looking to grow as a cricketer, as the sub-continent will most certainly serve him a few lessons. 'Personally, I feel I can grow a lot more. For me, it's just all about trying to get better and trying to get ways or find ways to help the team win. I like to say to make the team win. I don't just want to help, I want to make us win, because for me, it's two different things," said Jansen. 'But just also the other guys as well, KG (Rabada) also has been growing that's why he's kept on putting in match-winning performances, the batters, the guys off the field, the management, all of us. 'Everyone has grown in whatever facet. To see that happening over a two-year period is pretty cool to see. 'I think for all of us, you can work as hard as you can for as long as you can, but unfortunately, we're in the business of winning. 'If you don't win, it doesn't really matter what you do or how hard you work. 'For us, it's all about winning, because then that's when all the hard work pays off.' Jansen, Kagiso Rabada, Aiden Markram, Ryan Rickelton and Tristan Stubbs will miss the upcoming two-match series against Zimbabwe as they are rested. Captain Temba Bavuma has been ruled out due to a hamstring strain, while Lungi Ngidi will only be available for the second Test in Bulawayo.

New captain Proteas captain for Zimbabwe Tests after Temba Bavuma ruled out injured
The Proteas' victorious World Test Championship captain Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of the two-Test series against the Zimbabwe following a left hamstring injury. Bavuma sustained the injury during the second innings of the WTC final at Lord's. The diminutive right-hander decided against retiring and scored a gutsy 66. Bavuma and centurion Aiden Markram shared a 143-run stand in 38 overs to help the side to a five-wicket victory over Australia. Veteran left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj will lead the side in Bavuma's absence. The Proteas team to face Zimbabwe features a host of new faces, while the stalwarts of the last 12 months such as Markram, Kagiso Rabada, Tristan Stubbs and Ryan Rickelton have been given a break after they played at Lord's straight after competing in the Indian Premier League.

Temba Bavuma out of Zimbabwe tour, Keshav Maharaj to captain Proteas
Proteas captain Temba Bavuma holds the ICC World Test Championship Mace as he celebrates with teammates after victory on day four of the ICC World Test Championship cricket final match between Australia and South Africa. No replacement has been named for Bavuma, and in his absence, Keshav Maharaj will captain the side for the first time in Tests. The 35-year-old batted through the injury in the final in a move that helped steer the Proteas to a five-wicket victory over Australia, securing the country's first ICC trophy in 27 years. Bavuma sustained the injury while batting during South Africa's second innings on day three of the ICC World Test Championship Final against Australia at Lord's Cricket Ground. He is set to undergo further scans to assess the extent of the injury. Proteas Men's Test captain Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of the upcoming two-match Test series against Zimbabwe due to a left hamstring strain. Proteas Men's Test captain Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of the upcoming two-match Test series against Zimbabwe due to a left hamstring strain. Bavuma sustained the injury while batting during South Africa's second innings on day three of the ICC World Test Championship Final… Fast bowler Lungi Ngidi, having also played a key role in the Test Championship final last week, where he took three wickets in the second innings, including that of Steve Smith, is only available for selection for the second Test of the tour. With the two senior players not available for selection in the first Test, it means that South Africa's uncapped players, including Lesego Senokwane, Dewald Brevis, Lhuan-dré Pretorius, Codi Yusuf and Prenelan Subrayen, could get their maiden baggy greens at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo. Capped batters, Matthew Breetzke and Zubayr Hamza, are also in with a good chance to have yet another crack in Test cricket, having last played Test cricket last year. Tony de Zorzi, who did not play in the New Year's Test match against Pakistan earlier this year and the Test Championship final at Lord's last week, will have a crucial opportunity to play against Zimbabwe and challenge for the opening spot when the full-strength team returns to action later this year. The two Test matches do not fall within the 2025-2027 ICC World Test Championship cycle but will play a key role in giving the fringe players an important exposure to Test cricket and thus widen the talent pool for the Test team. The squad will depart for Bulawayo on Tuesday, 24 June, from OR Tambo International Airport. The first Test gets underway on Saturday, 28 June, followed by the second Test from Sunday, 06 July, with both matches taking place at Queens Sports Club. South Africa Test Squad against Zimbabwe Keshav Maharaj (captain), David Bedingham, Matthew Breetzke, Dewald Brevis, Corbin Bosch, Tony de Zorzi, Zubayr Hamza, Kwena Maphaka, Wiaan Mulder, Lungi Ngidi, Lhuan-dré Pretorius, Lesego Senokwane, Prenelan Subrayen, Kyle Verreynne and Codi Yusuf.
