Batting and/or bowling
performance in 2016/17 week: I was surprised to be picked as a batsman, I have always been
considered as a bowler who can bat a little but I had a decent year with the
bat so I was chosen to open the batting for the team. I managed to score 50 on
the first day.
Who is your cricketing
hero and why is he your hero? Temba Bavuma, he
is a amazing batsman and since I am smaller than most of my team mates I relate
to Temba. Moeen Ali because like me he is a bowler and batsman. When he started
playing he was not considered a frontline spinner, but he has worked on his
bowling and now he is a fantastic spin bowler and batsman.
Do you have a
non-cricket hero and why have you chosen this person? My Dad, he played cricket when he was younger.
He says that I must do my best and work hard for what I want.
What do you think makes
a hero? The way you
see yourself has a lot to do with being a hero. You must be able to see your
faults and accept them. There is no such thing as a perfect person. If you see
that you are not perfect, you can also accept the flaws and imperfections in
others and accept them for who they are and their strong points and weak
points.
What are you expecting
from this year’s tournament? This year I have been picked as both a bowler and batsman. I
am looking forward to doing both roles. I am just excited to play in the
tournament and I will try to do as well as I can. I would love to be picked for
one of the Cubs week teams.
What are your
cricketing highlights for 2017 so far? I have had a good season so far, I have bowled well and
batted well. In the 2016/17 season I was the best allrounder for my club. I
opened the batting for the club and I averaged 36 and my bowling was very
economical with an economy rate of 3.2. Against Penryn College I captained my
team and I opened the batting. We were 10/5 at one stage but I managed to bat
through and I scored 80* for us to score 127 in a 20 over match and I won man
of the match. In another match we played Barberton High School and I took 7/22
in 7 overs and once again I was man of the match. At school I was batsman of
the year.
Which
players are you looking forward to playing against? I am looking forward to playing against my
mate Thando Ntini, he has been very supportive and whenever I have an issue
with my cricket he is always willing to help me out.

Batting and/or bowling
performance in 2016/17 week: I did good, but I think there’s room for improvement this
year.
Who is your cricketing
hero and why is he your hero? Quinton de Kock
because he has achieved so much at such a young age. I’m still young so I also
hope to do well at a young age.
Do you have a
non-cricket hero and why have you chosen this person? My late father, I remember all the lessons
that he taught me. He told me to enjoy my cricket and to play the game for the
team and not for myself.
What do you think makes
a hero? Be positive
and inspirational to others. You need to be a team player.
What are you expecting
from this year’s tournament? I just want to be able to play well during the tournament.
What are your
cricketing highlights for 2017 so far? I have done well at school this year, I scored 580 runs
opening the batting. I bowled well and took a few wickets. I was also happy to
support my fellow opening bowler Jon Hinrichsen, who took a lot of wickets.
Which
players are you looking forward to playing against? Divan Jacobs
