Your App for international cricket.
It is not something we dream of when we start our careers but for me, it comes from a deep desire to be the best you can every single day.
The fact that you, Shaun, will join myself, Barry Richards, Jacques Kallis, Aubrey Faulkner and of course your uncle Graeme, in being inducted is an enormously proud moment for all of us in South African cricket.
You did that and more and I know that they and the rest of your family will be so stoked that you are being added to this list of cricket’s greats.
I haven’t forgotten the time you and a certain Lance Klusener left a dead fish in the aircon vent of our hotel room in Sri Lanka that went undiscovered, but certainly not unremarked upon, for three days.
When you first came into the Proteas side, you were this fast bowler who could terrorise batters, but despite injuries later in your career, you always managed to be effective, even if you didn’t quite have the pace you once had, and that’s a remarkable quality.
There was also the tour to India in 2000 when we won 2-0 and the two of us, along with the rest of the pace attack and Nicky Boje just seemed to click.
Of course, you could get a little hairy when things did not go your way, but that is the same for all of us.
To take 421 Test wickets is incredible, and who could forget the magic with the bat as well.
Thank you for all the memories I got to share with you, the great times we had, and the battles.
