South African coach Shukri Conrad creates row as hosts struggle

Guwahati, 25/11: South Africa head coach Shukri Conrad wanted his men to make India “grovel” on the fourth day by setting them the mammoth 549-run target that the embattled hosts are currently chasing to save the second Test and an imminent series whitewash

Conrad’s expression could well stir tensions in what has been a fairly amicable series, but he did mention that he was “stealing a phrase” from the infamous interview by late England skipper Tony Greig before the 1976 home series against Clive Lloyd’.
