Career summary
- Test debut - South Africa v England at Port Elizabeth, 2004/05.

- Picked in the side for the first Test against England in December 2004 little more than a season after making his first-class debut.

- A genuinely fast bowler, who moves the ball away from right-handers.

- Recalled to the Test side in April 2006, he responded with his first five-wicket haul, as New Zealand were routed in the first Test at Centurion.

- Finished the three-Test series with 16 wickets, and made a fine impression throughout.

- Took 3 for 129 in the first Test against Sri Lanka in July, and 5 for 82 in the first innings of the second match even as South Africa slumped to a 2-0 series whitewash.
