I lost my parents without them seeing me play international cricket.

I'm the guy who come through a lot of hard patches. I've seen a lot of hardships.

When you always walk into the middle with green and gold, I just want to take 10 wickets every game.

I'm just really honoured to play for South Africa. Just to be part of this team is a special feeling.

I just like challenge. I had a lot of them in my life, and then when it comes to that, I think I can be ready for anything, really.

Spinners have a main role, whether in the IPL or world cricket. But it's hard to be a legspinner: you have to be accurate.

I love to talk about bowling, and whoever comes for hel,p I'm always there. Even in IPL, PSL, I try to help the youngsters as much as I can.

I always try to help spinners as much as I can wherever I go and play, anywhere in the world.

I've been working really hard on my fitness.

I wouldn't want to overstay in the team for too long. I want to leave with respect.

I'm always looking for new and exciting opportunities.

My job, if someone picks me, is to come and perform. That's what we do for a living.

I always come on the ground with a smile on the face, but inside, I'm always ready to fight and try to give as much as I can.

I always love challenges, and when I bowl, I always look to get wickets.

It is a big challenge as a spinner to play modern day cricket, where you have to have five players in the circle.

When someone attacks you, there is always an opportunity, and that's what I look for.

I believe one should work hard to get what you want.

I have learnt that patience is important: patience when you bowl and also in how you handle life.

South Africa is now my country.

I lost my parents, which is the toughest thing to overcome.

One of my dreams was to win the World Cup.

I am the kind of person who will give his best every single time. I cannot underperform unless I'm playing with kids. Actually, I'd probably still get angry if they try to hit me!

In 2004 in England, there was one catch that was very special to me. I was bowling in a league match, and the batsman hit the ball over my head. I had to run back to between mid-off and mid-on to take the catch, and I did.

My wife is a beautician, but the first time I did something to my hair was not through her.
