Last week AB de Villiers severed ties with international cricket. Dale Stein is still there. The teammate and friend AB de Villiers know better than them and who knows. Friend's friend about
Q: AB and your Test debut match in the same match. Port Elizabeth in 2004 against England in Port Elizabeth Your first memo on AB?
Dale Stein: In the first class cricket we are also together with our debut. In 2003 Two years later, two of the Test debut came together in a Test match. We have played together many matches together. As I played together, I faced each other. We've played together since the age of 11. When Abby was 11, I knew him since Not for playing cricket, as a great teenager.
Q: What will the bowlers get relief if AB retires? Stein: AB will not play, it's really frustrating. Yes, bowlers of international teams will get relief. At least one batsman does not have to bowl against, which is difficult to play. AB is a pivotal player. The challenge of standing up against Serra is no longer left. It is sad to take his retirement from here.
Q: What was the experience of bowling him in the nets? Stein: He is the rare talent of submitting ball to the speed of 145 kilometers per hour. I have not spoken to anyone against whom I have spoken. He has the innate talent to make me completely helpless.
Q: What challenges did AB give to you?
Stein: Got it. Graeme Smith is the best captain under whom I played. When AB becomes the captain, his leadership covers his craft. Although he was a good captain. There was a better player than that.
Q: What quality of AB would you be happy with? Stein: Her courage. Ever never seen AB in life. never. I did not panic when I was going to bat in an unfavorable condition or pitch.
Q: what is the loss of the game because AB retires? Stein: Lost the best. You see many people playing international cricket. They think they're good enough. There are even better cricketers. AB de Villiers over them. (Compressed)
