'Need to get bloody better': changes loom for Proteas
Key points
- South Africa coach Shukri Conrad says his batters were beaten mentally in the 214-run Test loss to Australia in Durban. He said batters threw their wickets away and urged them to learn from Aiden Markram's patient 75 in the fourth innings.
- Kagiso Rabada is expected back from a hamstring tear for the second Test in Gqeberha on Sunday. Opener Ryan Rickelton, Tristan Stubbs and Kyle Verreynne could face changes after their dismissals.
- Conrad said the side needs to get better without reacting in a knee-jerk way.
