Proteas skipper Temba Bavuma has admitted their batting evidently remains their Achilles heel following the display in the first Test against West Indies in Centurion this week.
Proteas paceman Anrich Nortje believes there is no reason to panic despite the top-order collapse in their second innings on Day 2 of the first Test against West Indies yesterday.
Anrich Nortje took five wickets as the Proteas bowled West Indies out for 212 on the second day of the first Test in Centurion on Wednesday.
Proteas batter Aiden Markram credited his sixth Test century to the feeling of a clean slate upon his return to the team for the current West Indies series under new coach Shukri Conrad.
Aiden Markram stuck a century in his comeback Test for the Proteas but the West Indies hit back to reduce the hosts to 314-8 at stumps on day one of the first Test in Centurion.
Proteas Test skipper Temba Bavuma is looking forward to starting on a clean slate under new coach Shukri Conrad and believes the injection of new personnel brings a lot of excitement to the team.
