Background Information:

I grew up in Bethal, Mpumalanga and started playing cricket with my brothers at the age 6. I didn’t play cricket at school as it was considered a boy’s sport. I moved to Johannesburg to study where I played with the guys from the men’s residences on social level. I then moved to Cape Town and only started playing club cricket at the ripe old age of 33. I play for Van der Stel Cricket club in Stellenbosch

Career Highlights:

• Helmet, 4 pairs of gloves, 2 pairs of spikes, 2 pairs of thigh pads, 9 bandanna’s, 3 pairs of sweat bands, 2/3 cricket balls, strapping plaster, scissors, isolation tape, shin pads, 2 bats, 2 t-shirts, a towel, a knee brace and 2 pairs of keepers gloves

Why do you love Cricket and why is it so important to you?

• Cricket is a game filled with challenges both at team level and personal level. It is a thinker’s game that can change at the drop of a coin. It’s important to me because it gives me the freedom to challenge myself on a physical and mental level

Personal quotes:

• “Every practice you go to is like money in the bank. Every time you practice you deposit ‘money’ in your account. One day when you need to make a withdrawal the size of your withdrawal will depend on the amount of deposits you made. The more deposits the bigger the withdrawal” - Michael Phelps after the 2008 Olympic Games

Advice to aspiring cricketers:

• Every little bit you put in is an investment in your future
• If you want to excel at cricket work hard at it and if you think you have done enough put a little bit harder
• Never give up on your dreams
