Quotes
It’s always been the Lions, but when the Titans approached me, I knew that this is big. I’ve never imagined playing for them.
I know them and the Lions are the two biggest franchises in SA; but for them to approach me and want me to be part of the set-up, it was big!
I know there’s pressure that comes with it; I know what’s expected, but I’m happy to be here and to represent the Titans and I’m looking forward to contributing.
In the four-day [is where I want to have a big contribution] of course; the four-day comes first. I’ve always wanted to lift that trophy again, but now for the Titans
. Two seasons ago we won the 50-over trophy with the Dolphins and now I want to do it again this side, so that’s where my contribution will be in the team.
I won’t so much be part of the squad for the T20s – which I understand, I knew that when I came here – and I won’t be limited at all from playing T20 cricket elsewhere, but my primary focus is help the team get back to winning trophies, specifically the four-day and in the 50 overs.
Look, [the desire to play for the Proteas] has always been there. This franchise keeps producing Protea calibre players, [and you see that with] the players that are playing for the Proteas now.
The move wasn’t necessarily influenced by that; I think I could have still made the Proteas playing for the Dolphins.
But my family is here; after not performing, I don’t want to go back to an empty house anymore.
Reconnecting with my family is what I want for my life right now. I think I’ve been away from home for a long time, and I want to be a present father; I can’t keep just sending cheques.
