After playing for Eastern Cape Warriors for many years, Eddie Moore, the opening batsman of Western Province, took the opportunity to further his cricket career in all formats of the game in Cape Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Born and bred in Uitenhage and now residing in Durbanville, he started playing at the age of five and is still a student of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy father is a sports fanatic and he supported me in trying all sports, especially cricket. I attended primary school in Uitenhage before pursuing my high school career at Grey College in PE (Port Elizabeth). I played tennis, badminton, rugby and chess. I was also a sprinter, high jumper and long jumper but cricket was my favourite sport,\u201d says Moore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a child, he admired Graeme Smith, Proteas and WP captain, for his leadership and the manner he led the team as one of the youngest captains in South African history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smith was also the force behind the Proteas being the best test side in the world during his tenure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs a batter, I admired Jacques Kallis because in my eyes he is the best batter in the world and could play any shot in the book. But Smith stands out because he led a team of big names and still performed as an individual. Without my coaches from school until now I won\u2019t be able to do on the pitch what I am currently doing without their input. At school, Fred Swarbrook, a former English cricketer who played for Derbyshire (1967 \u2013 1979) and Griquas (1972 \u2013 1988), and Rob Mclaren were my coaches. After school, Piet Botha, currently in the Proteas setup, coached me and is still supporting me today mentally and physically.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being in his prime, he still has a lot on his bucket list. He would like to travel and would like to experience a lot of destinations firsthand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSkydiving is definitely one for the adrenaline junkie in me. I\u2019ve done bungy-jumping but would love to run a marathon, climb a mountain and do spear-fishing. To play at Lords in London, the home of cricket, is every cricketer\u2019s dream and is on my bucket list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am a left-handed opening batsman and righthanded part-time off-spin bowler. Everyone is familiar with the fact cricketers have a lot of superstitions but I am trying to break that hoodoo not to allow the superstitions to influence my mental state. I do have certain routines when I prepare for a match by the way I pad-up to get into my mental-zone where I am focussed and prepare for when I walk onto the pitch to face the first ball,\u201d Moore says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A support system is crucial for any sportsman and he is lucky to have his family \u201c200%\u201d behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am fortunate enough to have my parents, sisters and the rest of my family in my corner as my support system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey went out of their way to support me when I started and I don\u2019t have any complaints, whether it is mentally or physically. My hobbies include relaxing with my family and friends, enjoying a braai and going to the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI like being competitive, whether it is with a board game or on the pitch. My short-term goal is to win trophies with WP, the second year running and bring silverware back to the Western Cape. I would like to be part of the SA20, especially playing in the T20 which is now done and dusted by my contributions for WP. We fell short in the play-off and the competition was won by the Lions. I would also like to play for the Proteas one day but for now, I would like to make a contribution to WP and help the team and myself grow, while reaching my own personal goals for 2024\/25 at the same time,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If he could choose someone to bat with it would be AB de Villiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn today\u2019s cricket, he is an absolute hero and someone to admire. The way he plays cricket by dispatching the ball wherever he wants on the pitch, his shots, and his knowledge of the game is second to none and you can just watch from the other side while he is doing his thing. It would be nice to bat with him, learn from him and I am sure he\u2019ll definitely make you a better cricketer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy motto in life is to live life without regrets. Overall I like to learn, to explore certain options and I don\u2019t want to regret it one day that I didn\u2019t take the chance when it presented itself or regret something I\u2019ve done. I like to make a bonfire with family and friends to be at peace with myself,\u201d Moore says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When things are not going according to plan on the pitch, he prefers to be at home, put music he enjoys on, light candles and make a fire to be at peace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll this helps to clear my mind and I like to chat to people about things that bothered me in my game and this is special to me after a tough game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy message to young cricketers who wish to play for their province or country is to dream big, not to be scared to dream big, not to be scared to share your goals with someone as it keeps you accountable. Be prepared to learn every day, work hard, grow in the sport and to be one of the 1% fortunate enough to play professional sport, be prepared to make a lot of sacrifices. This takes a lot of energy, concentration a certain lifestyle but at the end of the day it is all worth it,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSkydiving is definitely one for the adrenaline junkie in me. I\u2019ve done bungy-jumping but would love to run a marathon, climb a mountain and do spear-fishing. To play at Lords in London, the home of cricket, is every cricketer\u2019s dream and is on my bucket list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am a left-handed opening batsman and righthanded part-time off-spin bowler. Everyone is familiar with the fact cricketers have a lot of superstitions but I am trying to break that hoodoo not to allow the superstitions to influence my mental state. I do have certain routines when I prepare for a match by the way I pad-up to get into my mental-zone where I am focussed and prepare for when I walk onto the pitch to face the first ball,\u201d Moore says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A support system is crucial for any sportsman and he is lucky to have his family \u201c200%\u201d behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am fortunate enough to have my parents, sisters and the rest of my family in my corner as my support system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey went out of their way to support me when I started and I don\u2019t have any complaints, whether it is mentally or physically. My hobbies include relaxing with my family and friends, enjoying a braai and going to the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI like being competitive, whether it is with a board game or on the pitch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy short-term goal is to win trophies with WP, the second year running and bring silverware back to the Western Cape. I would like to be part of the SA20, especially playing in the T20 which is now done and dusted by my contributions for WP. We fell short in the play-off and the competition was won by the Lions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI would also like to play for the Proteas one day but for now, I would like to make a contribution to WP and help the team and myself grow, while reaching my own personal goals for 2024\/25 at the same time,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After playing for Eastern Cape Warriors for many years, Eddie Moore, the opening batsman of Western Province, took the opportunity to further his cricket career in all formats of the game in Cape Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Born and bred in Uitenhage and now residing in Durbanville, he started playing at the age of five and is still a student of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy father is a sports fanatic and he supported me in trying all sports, especially cricket. I attended primary school in Uitenhage before pursuing my high school career at Grey College in PE (Port Elizabeth). I played tennis, badminton, rugby and chess. I was also a sprinter, high jumper and long jumper but cricket was my favourite sport,\u201d says Moore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a child, he admired Graeme Smith, Proteas and WP captain, for his leadership and the manner he led the team as one of the youngest captains in South African history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smith was also the force behind the Proteas being the best test side in the world during his tenure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs a batter, I admired Jacques Kallis because in my eyes he is the best batter in the world and could play any shot in the book. But Smith stands out because he led a team of big names and still performed as an individual. Without my coaches from school until now I won\u2019t be able to do on the pitch what I am currently doing without their input. At school, Fred Swarbrook, a former English cricketer who played for Derbyshire (1967 \u2013 1979) and Griquas (1972 \u2013 1988), and Rob Mclaren were my coaches. After school, Piet Botha, currently in the Proteas setup, coached me and is still supporting me today mentally and physically.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being in his prime, he still has a lot on his bucket list. He would like to travel and would like to experience a lot of destinations firsthand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If he could choose someone to bat with it would be AB de Villiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn today\u2019s cricket, he is an absolute hero and someone to admire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy motto in life is to live life without regrets. Overall I like to learn, to explore certain options and I don\u2019t want to regret it one day that I didn\u2019t take the chance when it presented itself or regret something I\u2019ve done,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
