Let’s play cricket

// October 30th, 2009 // Uncategorized

This off season has been an interesting one for me because I have had to put a lot of extra work in this season. My season ended with my elbow still giving me one or two problems so back to the specialist, I went. After a small operation I started on my rehab. All went extremely well and I went into the Champions League feeling good. I have also been on an eating plan and trying to be more healthy all round. The Champions Trophy was enjoyable but we were obviously very disappointed that the Proteas did not get further in the tournament.

I was not allowed to go with Cobra’s to India and instead have stayed behind to continue the rehab on my shoulder and get ready for the England series. As part of my preparation I have been playing for the Cobra’s again. Prior to that though I was able to play two Club games for Rygersdaal to get some batting practice. I must say that enjoyed it and had great fun playing cricket with some of my mates. Not something I usually get to do with our current cricket schedule. I will play three games for the Cobra’s before joining up with the Proteas early November for the England series.

I have been able to get away for a few weekends with friends and have also been fulfilling some of my sponsor commitments. I had a great shoot with Nashua Mobile with John Smit – it was the first time we had ever done anything together – and we had great fun. Look out for the TV advert which should come out around the festive season.

On the whole I am feeling good and ready to play some cricket again!
Looking forward to seeing the SA supporters come out at the stadiums over the next few months.
C’mon the Proteas!
