After registering his maiden Test half century against India at the Wanderers on Tuesday, emerging Proteas batter Keegan Petersen thanked his father Dirk for planting the cricket seed in him.

Petersen added that he watched his father at the back-end of his career at Western Province B and Paarl Cricket Club, where he played with the likes of SA U19 coach Shukri Conrad and Marais Erasmus, who is umpiring in this match.

“That is where I always dragged along to club games and I fell in love with the game from that time. If you can ask the people that know me from back home, they used to see my dad throwing thousands of balls to me in the nets all the time and that’s where I learnt my trade.” “I think it’s going to be tough for the rest of the Test match. The pitch is definitely not getting easier to bat on. There was good quick bowling in the morning on Tuesday and they keep you on your toes all the time.
