hukri Conrad has seen it all. He played cricket before and after the apartheid in South Africa. “Let’s say I played in the White side and yes, I played in the non-White side,” Conrad told The Hindu. “And then I was involved when unity came along. A little bit of everything. So yes, I have seen history.” At the moment he is pleased that India couldn’t make history when he is the coach of the South African Test side. India could not conquer the final frontier — a Test series win in the Rainbow Nation. The two-match series ended in a 1-1 draw. He is disappointed that there were only two Tests in the series.
