South African cricket, we're pretty resilient.

I mean everyone's always spoken about fast bowlers and especially myself as a strike bowler, but I look at myself as somebody who could hold down the runs, you know, over 200 games, I've taken a lot of wickets but I've got a pretty decent economy rate.

I'm normally quite restrictive in the runs department.

When I made my one-day debut for South Africa I met some of the Aussies for the first time. We lost the game and when I shook the hands of players I just wanted them to look me in the eye and acknowledge I had competed.

When I first started the biggest thing I wanted was for the opposition to acknowledge me.

I think 'A' sides are extremely important, as close as you can get to international cricket. You are often playing against internationals from different countries and it definitely bridges the gap between our domestic game and international cricket.

The more 'A' side cricket that can be played, it will keep the fringe of international cricket interested.

Do I like being No. 1? Absolutely. Who doesn't?

It might sound very cocky or naive of me, or self-centered, but I want to win a World Cup for my country.

As long as I've got that urge and that fight and fire inside of me I'll continue and records will come and records will be broken. But the day I don't feel that kind of stuff I'm happy to walk away.

I've never chased records.

I've never been bothered about being the highest wicket-taker in the world or the best South African bowler in the world.

I think the more common players who have been around for a while - Joe Root, Alastair Cook, Jimmy Anderson, Stuart Broad - those guys I know of, they're fantastic players.

I used to be grumpy. I am no more. I am old now. See my grey beards.

It's terrible to consider never playing another Test again but what's more terrifying is the thought of never playing again at all.

In my opinion Test cricket is the best version of this game. It tests you mentally, physically, emotionally.

The kind of fishing that I do is pretty much bass, trout or freshwater fishing.

I very rarely get to enjoy doing nothing.

I would love to be in quarantine with someone like Quinny de Kock. He is one of my favourite people in the world.

Normally if I am on holiday I'll be planning a fishing trip or a surfing trip.

I would love to win a trophy for South Africa in white ball cricket.

It's important to get under your opponent's skin and let them know that you are coming for them out in the middle. When you do that, half the battle's won!

Someone like Shane Warne played the game on and off the field really well and got into guys' heads. Even though he couldn't bounce you and hurt you physically, he was verbally aggressive and would let you know he'd get you out. He made batsmen doubt themselves. I learned from players like him and made a point of incorporating it into my own game.

Test matches are what really drive me to perform.
