Stephanie Bester
Born: 05 January 1989, Malmesbury, South Africa
Batting Style: Aggressive
Bowling Style: Medium
Background Information: I grew up in Malmesbury and moved to Ceres at the age of 7. I probably started to play cricket with my brothers before I could walk. I attended Bloemhof Girls’ High School in Stellenbosch. I kind of forgot about cricket until I heard of the Boland u/18 girls’ squad in my matric year. I went to trails and got into the team. It’s only then when cricket became a reality for me. I’m now in my second year of studies of Industrial Engineering at Stellenbosch. I play for the Maties cricket club
Career Highlights:
- I haven’t really played that long, but my 52 runs (from 30 balls) against Van der Stel last season certainly stands out for me. And being part of Boland cricket now again - it’s just a dream come true
In my bag:
- Only the necessities, and lots of sun cream and water
Why do you love Cricket and why is it so important to you?
- I just love the game. It is so much fun. Every time you go out to bat you face a new challenge, no two games are the same. For me, there is nothing like hitting a ball from the middle of my bat and knowing that no one is going to get to it. It’s the adrenalin rush, the sun, the sweat, I just can’t describe it... Cricket is important to me because it’s what I love to do. I play other sports too, but nothing really draws me like cricket
Personal quotes:
- Gaan groot of gaan huistoe
Advice to aspiring cricketers:
- Always love the game
- Never stop hoping and wishing and dreaming
- Play with your heart
