In his first Test, against England in 2003,[1] injury restricted his bowling to just a few overs, but he hit 59 in the first innings and put on 150 for the eighth wicket with Gary Kirsten after South Africa had been 142 for 7.[2] In his second Test, against Zimbabwe in 2004–05, he took 3 for 66 and 6 for 39, giving South Africa an innings victory and winning the award for player of the match.[3]
He was the leading wicket-taker in the 2007–08 South African season, with 62 wickets at 19.17.[4] He represented Warwickshire during the early weeks of the 2008 season, where he was coached by former South African fast bowler Allan Donald. Although he took 4 for 95 in a County Championship match, his spell at Edgbaston was not successful, with 9 wickets at 42.33 in four Championship matches and 1 for 158 in four List A matches.
