Batting and/or bowling
performance in 2016/17 week: I had a very good tournament taking 8 wickets in 5 matches
including 3/35 against Boland. My average was 16.
Who is your cricketing
hero and why is he your hero? Dale Steyn and
Brett Lee because they are aggressive out and out fast bowlers. Cobus Pienaar
my cricket coach, he played professional cricket when he was younger, so he has
a lot of experience that he can pass on to me. He has been extremely supportive
Do you have a
non-cricket hero and why have you chosen this person? My brother has been extremely supportive. He
has taught me that I can accomplish what I want to accomplish if I work hard.
He’s given me confidence in myself even when I know that I have not performed
up to the level that I set myself.
What do you think makes
a hero? You must
work hard to achieve your goals and stay humble.
What are you expecting
from this year’s tournament? We are a good team and I would like us to win the final main
game of the tournament. I would like to be instrumental in helping my team do
that. One of the best things about the tournament is what happens off the
field, I would like to make a lot of good friends and I have already got
friends in Gauteng and KZN Coastal, so I would also like to catch up with those
mates.
What are your
cricketing highlights for 2017 so far? I struggled to balance playing rugby and cricket at the
beginning of the year but thanks to people like me coach Cobus Pienaar, I
managed to work through it. I took a lot of four wicket hauls and three wicket
hauls this year.
Which
players are you looking forward to playing against? Gauteng are a team that are also looking
to win the main match on the last day and they have great players. I am looking
forward to playing against Jacob Milts, Curtis Campher and Joshua Richards. If
I want to be a good player I must match myself up with the best.

Who is your cricketing
hero and why is he your hero? Ab de Villiers
and Faf du Plessis. They went to the same school as me and I’ve heard so much
at the school about how they played and how they carried themselves at school
and out of school. They are also both Proteas captains and have great
leadership qualities.
What do you think makes
a hero? A hero needs
to be able to lead by example and be a good person on and off the field. Heroes
have to enjoy what they do and you have to pass that enjoyment onto others.
What are you expecting
from this year’s tournament? I’m expecting a strong competition with all of the best
cricketers from all over the country coming to play. I’m looking forward to
playing cricket and engaging with the players from other teams.
What are your
cricketing highlights for 2017 so far? I had a good season and one of my highlights was the hundred I
scored against Pretoria Boys High in the last school game that I played.
Which
players are you looking forward to playing against? I can’t wait to play against Border on day
2 of the tournament. They have quite a few players that have played SA U19 with
me. I’m also hoping to play against Gauteng on the last day of the tournament,
Northerns and Gauteng schools often play against each other and we know each
other very well, most of the payers are good friends.
