Patrick Kruger

Patrick Kruger (born 3 February 1995) is a South African cricketer. He was included in the Griqualand West cricket team squad for the 2015 Africa T20 Cup. Quotes Since I got married and had a child, I feel like I am not only playing for my own enjoyment but to also make my family proud. My first coach at the Griquas, who gave me my debut, wasn’t there for too long But a coach that I drew a lot of inspiration from was JP Triegaardt. I have known JP since the age of about 11 years old. He coached my brother and me at the Griquas. He is like a family friend and had a profound impact on my career Since I moved to the Warriors, I really felt that my consistency has improved. I feel that coaches such as Robin Peterson have offered invaluable advice that has really helped my game. I definitely think playing with guys like Stubbo (Tristan Stubbs) and Matty (Matthew Breetzke) has helped me improve my game, I often observe what they do and try to emulate their behaviours or listen to what they say. During training, I try to mimic the conditions I’m playing in. For example, if we are playing in Paarl, I will face more spinners in the nets, as opposed to grounds like Centurion, where I would face more fast bowlers. At the Knights, I often felt that I had to go in and smash the ball from ball one, The quality of cricket closely resembles international cricket. I think we have a well-balanced squad that allows us to adapt in different conditions. A large part of our success is due to the fact that they recruited local players who know the conditions very well. I’m planning on doing a lot of fitness during the off-season and a lot of reps to get my bowling back up. Currently, I’m at 60% of where I want to be, but I’m aiming to be at peak fitness by next season and to get back into the national side.
