South captain Captain Dean Elgar said friendship would be set aside when they came against Batsman New Zealand Batsman Devan Conway in the first two tests at the Oval Hagley in Christchurch on February 17.
Conway Yohanburg held against the British test in Lords last year and had been in sensational form since then, with three hundred and two years fifties in the nine ofings until now.
It includes two tons of debut.
Many of the South African tour have played with and against Conway in the country’s domestic cricket, so it was very aware of the quality.
“He played with a different badge on his chest now and had a good start to test cricket.
His numbers spoke volume and he was on a big purple patch,” Elgar said on Thursday.
“But we don’t see it as a South African man again, he lives here and plays for other countries.” “I’m sure there will be a friendly chat from the field because many people know him and play with him and fight it.
But once the match match comes and you walk on the white line, it’s all business, regardless if he is your friend or not.” South Africa’s side Has started practicing for several hours every day after all resulted in the negative Covid-19 produced three first round tests since their arrival in the country.
Elgar said they were grateful for discussions between their respective cricket councils and the New Zealand government to facilitate restrictions and “make life bearable”.
“It’s impossible to make people come and do a tour here if you do a 10-day exercise that is straight where you can’t leave the room, basically stay in prison without the opportunity to go outside and get fresh air, practice or gym, “Elgar said.
“They have tried as much as possible for us to know that doing 10 consecutive days is not human for cricketers, especially citizens.” We want to be here and play against New Zealand, no doubt, but you also have to do it to meet a half-way tour team.
