Quotes It took a while to get going a bit, and it took a bit of a tongue-lashing from the coach from the boundary to sort of catch a wake-up and get everything into gear. It's nice to have had things to work on, and I felt like I've made some improvements on that, so that's another positive, but again, at the end of the day, none of this matters if it's not in a winning cause, so that's the most important thing. The most important thing for us as a group going into a big season back home was time on the park. A lot of our best learning happens out there on the field as cricketers We can learn only so much in nets and training sessions, but out there is what really matters, and to still carry on learning and putting on performances like that at the same time is the most pleasing thing Confidence is the most important thing. I'm really pleased for the guys going into the Australian series with that type of form and confidence. It took a tongue-lashing' — Bjorn Fortuin credits Shukri Conrad for Proteas' career-best ODI haul, September 2026,IOL by Zaaiher Adams I think I mentioned it a few days ago where I said that I didn't necessarily think leadership was something that came natural to me at the domestic level and internationally, So it's quite a privilege to have that honour and have that bestowed upon me. All of us, we've got our own way of leading teams, l've spent quite a bit of time with David and I feel like we're sort of similar in the sense that we're quite chilled and we let guys do their own thing and take charge of their own game. There are certain aspects that I've bounced off from different players in the past It's all about getting together as a group, understanding each other, I've been very privileged to play with this group for the last 12 or 18 months, playing a bit of A-side cricket together So we've got a good understanding of each other on and off the field, which helps a lot with communication and understanding each other as cricket players and as human beings. It's still a learning experience, I'm not the complete captain. I'll never claim to be the complete captain . And we'll always be learning in this game as players and as individuals Channeling David Miller: ‘Chilled’ Bjorn Fortuin applies Paarl Royals lessons to Proteas leadership, September 2026,SA20 by the Reporter External links Category:1994 births Category:Cricketers from South Africa Category:Living people
