Conrad defends 'grovel' comment: 'Perfectly good English word'

• South African coach Shukri Conrad clarified his 'grovel' comment after losing to India in an ODI.
• Conrad had previously stated they wanted India to "grovel" during a Test match, aiming to bat them out of the game.
• He defended his use of the word, saying it was "perfectly good English" and he intended no malice, only to pressure India.
• The term "grovel" carries racial connotations, notably from Tony Greig's 1976 comment about the West Indies, making it sensitive given South Africa's history.
