Quotes But when you’re on the field with them or against them, it’s more like you’re there to compete with another team. At the end of the day, you’ve got to try to hit the white ball as far and as hard as possible, try and catch it, throw it straight I wouldn’t say I’ve experienced a whole lot but definitely the fact that the other guys you play may seem like world-class superstars, which they are. For me, the thing I took out of it is the difference between what you see on TV and what you experience out there in the middle. The commentators and the adverts all hype the game up big-time. You’re still playing a game of cricket and trying to outperform. Looking at my experiences through the provincial setup, franchise setup, and finally international cricket, I’ve had to knock the door down and I’ve had a few good years playing amateur cricket for Free State. I had one or two good years playing for Northerns, and I had to earn my stripes to get into the franchise setup, which was very good at the time, From what I remember, I averaged around 280 in one season right before I got a go in franchise cricket. I got a century in my very first game, and I was the fourth-leading run-scorer in 4-day cricket during my second year. So I’d say I knew I was up there competing with some of the best guys in the country. In the MSL, I’ve done quite well since I’ve played for strong teams – so I’ve had the momentum on my side. If you have an off game, you make 6 from 5 or something like that and the team still gets over the line, it’s like you’re riding the wave of the team, so it was reasonably easy to kick on You more or less know what the opposition is aiming to do, the wickets may be slower and the bowlers may go for cutters. Ultimately you need to settle on a boundary option, both on the leg side and the offside. If you get something in your favourite area, you can put it away, Red-ball cricket has always fascinated me and I like to believe it’s my strongest format. I’m not sure what my chances are for Test cricket but I will continue to keep pushing and giving the youngsters a good crack. It’s still my goal to play Tests, not just one or two games, but a solid career playing Test cricket. “Now I’m one of them” – Pite van Biljon, June 2020,Cricket Fanatics by Abhai Sawkar External links Category:Cricketers from South Africa Category:Living people Category:1986 births
