There are so many dreams that I'd like to follow.

I like to entertain the crowd. Personally I like to entertain my team-mates first, but when the crowd gets going, it is amazing.

I believe I am strong mentally. My breaking points might be bigger than most players. I think it's because of the way I grew up with my two older brothers. They pushed my limits quite often - once every day, I think! I think that played a big role in my breaking point being bigger than most players. Not all players.

Even the thunderous master-blasters, like Andre Russell and MS Dhoni, men who now make scoring more than 20 runs per over look simple, often thrive on the right side of an incredibly slender gap between six and out. They are not more lucky than anyone else. They are more brilliant.

It will never be much fun until a Proteas team finally goes out and wins one of these ICC limited-overs tournaments. That will happen one day.

The interests of the team must always outweigh the interests of any individual, including me.

I was brought up to always see the glass half full instead of half empty and played my cricket that way.
