More quotes by Pieter Malan

It’s also a matter of opportunities and them being limited and not taking them when I got them.

That’s not pressure, that’s privilege. Pressure is playing out there in a semi-pro game, nobody watching, and you’re fighting for your career.

Especially as a new-ball player, you want to make them bowl at you. In South Africa, it’s tough opening the batting.

There’s a lot of things happening; there’s nip, there’s bounce. So the less you can give the bowlers, the better. In their third and fourth spells, that’s where the real runs are.

I took a lot of stuff for granted, and didn’t put in the hard work that, in hindsight, I needed to put in.
