"Will there be changes? We have guys in our squad who deserve a crack. So safe to say that might be an option." One of those players might be Rabada , who is on his way towards making a comeback following a right hamstring injury during South Africa's winter training programme. "Hopefully, Rabada's Rolls Royce will be purring down the highway again," Conrad added. Conrad also expected better application from his batters. "Dismissals in the batting sit in one of three categories. It's either technical, tactical or mental "And if we're brutally honest, a lot of our dismissals sat in the mental. Is that an easier fix than technical and tactical? Probably not. "We haven't played in a while, you come up against arguably the best attack in the world on a really good wicket, and they challenge you in so many respects. "Every time we felt we were just getting ourselves out of the woods, we would let them back in." Series Schedule: First Test : October 9-13, Durban (Australia won by 214 runs) Second Test : October 18-22, Gqeberha Third Test : October 27-31, Cape Town
