quad and the 2007 Cricket World Cup.

International career[edit]
During the 2003 England tour he received a late call-up to the squad and impress
ed with 16 wickets in the Test series. He scored a match-winning 99 not out at H
eadingley and became the 5th batsman in Test cricket to have been stranded one s
hort of a hundred.
In 2004, due to the absence of the recently retired Gary Kirsten and non-touring
Herschelle Gibbs, he was promoted to open the batting in the Test series agains
t India. He reacted to the added responsibility by scoring 163 at Kanpur - his m
aiden Test century. The century was made against the likes of Anil Kumble and Ha
rbhajan Singh, batting for almost ten hours.
He holds the World Record 8th wicket stand in ODI cricket of 138 with Justin Kem
p, made against India in November 2006. His contribution was an unbeaten 56 from
47 balls and he went on to take 3 wickets in the second innings.
During the 2007 Cricket World Cup in the West Indies he took his maiden 5 wicket
haul (5-18) against England on 17 April at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Bar
bados.
County career[edit]
In 2003 he had a stint with Worcestershire and in 2005 he became an overseas pla
yer at Kent, returning for a part of the 2006 season before returning to South A
frica for their two-Test match series against Sri Lanka. He returned to England
in 2008 when he signed for Northamptonshire as a Kolpak player. While playing fo
r the Steelbacks, he set a record for the best Twenty20 figures taking 6/14 in 2
008. He also achieved his best Twenty20 batting performance in the same game (66
not out). He became captain of the county in 2010 after fellow South African, N
icky Boje resigned the captaincy. He remained captain until after the 2012 seaso
n when he was replaced by Stephen Peters.[1] During his tenure as captain he nea
rly lead Northants to promotion in the County Championship. He continued to play
for Northants until the end of the 2014 season, when he was not offered a new c
ontract. He announced his retirement from professional cricket shortly afterward
