Quotes It's been a long process, and I'm happy that it has eventually led to this. It's also a reminder of where I come from and not to get ahead of myself because I've had to do a lot of dirty work to get there From playing for SA under-19, a lot has changed in my life, Although I was captain, I wasn't the star boy out of that side. If everyone gave themselves an opportunity and did well, you knew it would be a fresh set of eyes and maybe, more opportunities. That was exciting. There was always a message from senior guys - Dean (Elgar) said it while he was captain, that the weight of runs would get you in the side. Guys knew that if they wanted to make the step up they had to have a good season. There was no other way. You might get a few less bad balls but international cricketers that are going to do their homework. I could see from the way they bowled to me today compared to at SuperSport Park, they had different plans and they can limit your scoring options. And obviously, the intensity is a little bit higher, like I was really tired once I was out. It's challenging.
