Shukri Conrad slammed by Dale Steyn for using infamous phrase from 1976 Tony Greig saga
Steyn explained that some words carry a lot of negative history, and even if Conrad’s intention isn’t bad, they should not be used. The commentator felt Conrad using the same term now, against an Indian team with its own history of discrimination, brought back old wounds.
He also emphasized that the South African side was already dominating the Guwahati Test and there was no need to use such language. Steyn added, “Maybe I pick up his tone now—it’s not as harsh as Tony Greig’s. But that doesn’t matter. You just don’t use words like that. Toss it. You don’t have to say it. That’s disappointing. Sorry, Shukri, but that’s disappointing.”
What is Tony Greig’s 1976 ‘Grovel’ saga?
It caused huge anger in the Caribbean. Inspired by that insult, the West Indies went on to crush England 3–0 in a historic series.
Ahead of that series, Greig had stated, “If they’re down, they grovel, and I intend… to make them grovel.” Captain Clive Lloyd later stated, “The word ‘grovel’ is one guaranteed to raise the blood pressure of any Black man… We resolved to show him that the days for grovelling were over.”
