It was easy to agree to go there because I have never played Test cricket for Australia. Because of my age next month, chances were getting limited. It was easier for me than for some of the younger guys, Carl Rackemann for instance. Rackemann could have potentially had five to eight years in which to play Tests. I looked into the South African situation a fair bit before I decided to go. It's a very complex problem which certainly can't be fixed overnight. I have never toured and played against an international team, so I viewed this as my chance; a chance to tour and play against probably one of the best cricketing nations in the world. Though I have never played a Test for Australia, I thought at one stage I might have been fairly close to it. I was hopeful of getting a game at one stage last season. When I look back at my career I will not have any regrets.
