Obviously it’s a seam-bowling dominated country, and everything’s directed towards fast bowlers. Being a spinner, we aren’t valued as highly as seam bowlers. But personally I do feel it’s slowly starting to change, and all the credit goes to the current spinners in the country who are doing well, and ensuring that people take notice Keshav Maharaj has dominated the world scene for a couple years, which shows how important a left-arm spinner can be in the side. Conditions aren’t as conducive as other parts of the world, but we learn to make do with what we have. It tests our skills even more, and we have to be even more accurate in South Africa, because the margin for error is a lot less. There are many experiences that I’ve cherished. It’s about the challenge and the test of character that drives me. Yeah, I think the past few years have been really nice, my career started to take shape. It’s been great and I’m looking forward to the next few years. I think the main goal for the next season is firstly with the Dolphins. Hopefully we can challenge in the 4-day and the 50-over competitions, to hopefully win. I always feel that as a cricketer, you’re usually judged on what you win at the end of your career. Like you say, a Proteas call is a striking distance away, and it’s been a dream of mine to fulfill that. But I understand that there’s a process, so at the moment I’m looking to enjoy the process and patiently bide my time. I want to be ready when the chance comes, so I’m focusing on doing the best I can, each day. The experience last season was priceless in terms of visiting India. It was my first taste of Indian conditions and a feel for how the guys go about it. Of course, it’s the knack of spin bowling and playing spin. India’s got some of the toughest conditions in the world, probably the toughest place to tour, given the challenge the Indian team poses. India’s been my favorite cricketing destination to tour so far, just the way how the country loves cricket and how it’s like a religion. It’s part of their culture. In terms of my development from youth level, I was privileged enough to come through the KwaZulu-Natal system since I was 11. I represented every age-group team, from 11 to 19. After that I transferred to our Dolphins academy, the KwaZulu-Natal coastal team, then to the Dolphins, and finally the South African Emerging team. Now I’m with the South African A side. Yeah, it’s been tough but it’s been really rewarding.
