Quotes I trained so hard and I listened, As an older experienced guy, you could think, 'What is this guy [Shine] talking about when he says he is going to open me up, he's going to try and get more energy off the ground and things like that?' I'm glad I opened my ears and I listened and did the things that he told me to do. After the first season, I could see that it was working. When I came back to South Africa, I just tried to keep those mental notes in my head. Bowling is never perfect and you're always going to have a bad day but it was just remembering those small points. We really broke down my run-up and I just had to remember when I was training to go back to that I looked back at videos and thought about what I should do and I worked on it. And like we say: you can teach an old dog new tricks. Find your length and settle on it ,As the Test goes on it gets quite squatty so I think that's when things like nip come into play. The amazing thing about it is the calmness with which we are going about this, Every Test is a must-win and we remind ourselves this is the goal, but that's where it stands. We're not speaking about it all the time. There's a calmness in the group, which is very good Old dog' Paterson ready to show the world his new tricks,Dec 2024, ESPN by F.

As a bowler, you’re never satisfied. Even with this spell, I’ll look and see what I can do better in the second innings It’s always a work in progress, the work stops when I stop playing cricket. I’ve known Shuks (Shukri Conrad) for a long time, I used to play a lot of amateur cricket when he was coach at the Cobras (now Western Province) back in the day. Proteas’ Dane Paterson continues to put in stellar performances despite not being ‘a fan favourite’,Dec 2024,DM by Keanan Hemmonsbey “It is indeed a real thing,“The sheer size of it stuns you when you see it for the first time, especially if you are a bowler who hasn’t bowled there before. Even when you have been away for a while, and you go back there, it's something new to you and takes a while to adjust. l genuinely believe someone like Lungi can be a massive asset for us there,Whether it’s up the slope or down the slope, his height and ability to extract bounce can prove to be a game-changer. And the advice was that they should bowl from the other side to try to bowl into the slope instead of with the slope, especially Makhaya. They only swapped around after lunch and it was much better. I've always felt, especially when the ball's new and there's swing, I've always felt that you should be bowling into the slope.
