The workload with Test cricket was too much as I want to extend my career for as long as I can.
I love playing cricket. I wake up every morning and I can't see myself doing anything else.
I want to keep experimenting and trying to change my game.
If I'm only going to play one more match, I want to take a wicket with every ball, not try and defend a boundary.
As long as that drive is still there to play at the highest level, to get batters out, fox them and outsmart them and that kind of stuff, if I can do that I'm going to continue to do that.
In South Africa, you can get away sometimes because of the bounce. You may get away with full wide balls. In India, it does not bounce and finds the middle of the bat and goes flying to point or extra cover for four.
In a World Cup you don't have anywhere to hide.
Coaches have plans and structures, and if you're not in those plans you shouldn't take it personally.
I have never been a stats person.
It's enough to play for South Africa and take wickets for South Africa, and then I managed to get 400. I never thought that that would happen.
When you are in the company of greatness, there is only one thing to do: to raise your game.
One of my highlights of being a Proteas player is that at one stage we were the No. 1 team across all formats.
You get guys that are good. Then you get guys that are excellent. And then you get AB de Villiers.
With Test cricket, it's very important that you are bowling at high speed but T20 cricket is a great way to be versatile.
If you are just constantly doing the same thing, good batters can adjust.
If I wanted to do anything in the coaching world, I would probably need to upskill myself.
It's very easy to say take a player, a world-class player out of the system of playing and just push him into a coaching role but coaching is a whole other thing. It's a skill.
The thing I've got to concentrate on for South Africa is bowling at good pace and if the ball is in the right area that will cause enough trouble.
But I love bowling in India, the grounds are quite flat whereas in South Africa you feel you are running uphill.
It's something that I've wanted to do for a while, play Big Bash. Unfortunately representing the Proteas for the bulk of my career over Christmas time we've always got Test matches on, the Boxing Day and New Year's Test matches. So I haven't been available.
