Proteas batting consultant Justin Sammons says Aiden Markram “showed glimpses of what he’s capable of” against India at the Wanderers on Wednesday.
Markram made 31 in South Africa’s second innings before being trapped lbw by Shardul Thakur.
The 27-year-old was twice bowled, for 13 and one, by Mohammed Shami during the first Test in Centurion and out lbw to the same bowler for seven in the first innings at the Wanderers.
Sammons believes it’s just a matter of time before Markram comes right.
“We all know the quality player that Aiden is,” he said. “That’s not going to change over three or four innings and he showed glimpses of what he’s capable of.
“He’s also received some good balls and those would have got most batters out. He just needs to stick to his processes and keep doing what he’s doing.
“His preparation has been very good and he must trust it will come through because as a coaching staff, we do.”
The Proteas finished day three of the second Test on 118-2, needing 122 more runs to win and level the series.
