I believe everything happens for a reason and maybe five years ago wasn’t my time. I’m happy to be here and I’m looking forward to this challenge. I know there is going to be a bit more pressure, especially if I make my debut, but it will be important to see it like it’s any other game Better late than never, says Proteas newbie Heino Kuhn,june 2017,The Citizens, by the Reporter As a senior batter it was my responsibility. I'd got us that far and then I felt I might have just cost us the game. I didn't watch the last ball. I had my head in my hands and there were tears in my eyes. I looked at the TV and saw it had gone for four. I guess the tears kept on going. I looked at what was happening on the balcony and I think one or two players were close to falling off. So I'm just glad everyone's safe. I didn't have any expectations when I arrived. I just wanted to bring the same winning culture I've picked up over the years playing for Titans, my franchise in South Africa. And I've seen that happening. Everybody's playing for each other, everyone's enjoying each other's company. It feels like home. I'm not sure I've ever been in this sort of form, I'm not a stats guy but it just feels good. You do feel like you are going to do well. I'm enjoying my cricket and the balls go where you want them to go. You don't think as much, you just play as you see it and it's an amazing feeling, the best there is. Everything is going my way and I'm very happy about it. I just hope it continues into the final. I'm very happy to have the opportunity to play for South Africa, even though the conditions were tough last summer and we were facing two of the best bowlers in those conditions, I didn't change anything in my batting but it just didn't work out. So when I signed I said that whatever happened last year was in the past and I wasn't even going to think about it when I went out to bat. That's what helps me to prove people wrong by scoring runs wherever I play What I've tried to explain to the younger guys is that if you play cricket, you'll be fielding for 90% of the time, Well, if you don't like fielding, why are you doing something you don't like. We try to enjoy our cricket and that's why we're doing so well.
