Proteas head coach, Shukri Conrad, feels that the world has not seen the best of his Proteas team despite their convincing performance at Lord’s last week that saw them win the World Test Championship title.<\/p>\n
The Proteas beat the old foe, Australia by five wickets, an Australian side currently ranked No 1 in the world in the ICC rankings.<\/p>\n
Conrad and his team were greeted by South Africans from all walks of life at the OR Tambo International Airport when they touched down from London on Wednesday morning after they ended a 27-year-old long ICC trophy drought.<\/p>\n
However, Conrad believes that this is not the ceiling for his side.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe won comfortably in the end, and I still don\u2019t think we played as well as we can play. I mean, Aiden\u2019s (Markram) probably played his best Test knock. I don\u2019t think South Africa\u2019s seen a better Test innings. KG (Ngidi), Lungi (Ngidi), all of these,\u201d Conrad said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can name the guys that have performed in this Test match, but there\u2019s so much else sitting in this change-room that scares me. It excites me at the same time as to where we can go with this group. I\u2019m really looking forward to the next couple of years.\u201d<\/p>\n
The team will now have to shift their focus to a two match Test series against neighbours Zimbabwe in Bulawayo which starts next month.
