South Africa boosted by Broad chat ahead of WTC final against Australia
Broad bowed out of international action two years ago, having taken 604 wickets in 167 Tests, with many of his best performances reserved for arch-rivals Australia. The 38-year-old met with the South Africans over a meal on Sunday to help with their preparations for the match against the reigning champions, starting on Wednesday. "It was just a casual chat but if the guys hadn't called time at 10:30 pm (2130 GMT) we'd still be there chatting," Conrad told reporters at Lord's on Monday. "Everybody walked away thinking that was great." Conrad said he also welcomed a visit to training on Sunday by former South Africa captain Graeme Smith. "He's a legend in South African cricket, the most successful Test captain we have had," he said. "He's not going to impose himself but if anyone wants to have a chat he's there for that." Conrad said the interactions with Broad and Smith were not formal consultations. "It's just using whatever we can. If it adds value, great." Asked about criticism that South Africa had an easy route to the final, having not played against Australia or England during the championship cycle, Conrad said: "I'm tired of speaking about it. We're here and we've got a chance to walk away as world Test champions." © 2025 AFP
