We got a good result in Centurion but weren’t particularly good, says Proteas coach Shukri Conrad.
Rickelton used the disappointment of missing the trip to Australia to fuel his success locally, even earning a call up to the One-Day squad named on Monday.
“We got a good result in Centurion, but truth be told we weren’t particularly good. The wicket was tough, but that doesn’t mean we just roll over as we did the other day and have done in the past. It’s why, beyond the second Test, he is already planning a vast winter programme for the younger members of the Test side. Conrad faces a particular challenge because of the Proteas’ lack of Test play, something he bemoaned again on Tuesday.The winter programme may involve an SA A tour, with Conrad hoping to have a trip scheduled in the June/July period.
The remainder of the starting side, besides Petersen, sees three other changes with Marco Jansen dropped — to give his body a break, according to Conrad — for Wiaan Mulder, while Simon Harmer and Keshav Maharaj will start with Senuran Muthusamy axed and Anrich Nortjé injured.
