'I wanted to be a musician'
He skis, he speaks broken Japanese, he plays the sax, he keeps McGrath out of the side. Delhi Daredevils' Dutch import via Australia opens up

How do you say "bowled 'im" in Japanese? • AFP
Being Jack of all trades, master of none.
I've tried my hand at music, business, skiing, and now cricket.
I always wanted to be a musician growing up. I played saxophone but gave up after a while.
I was a mobile skier - basically freestyle skiing - and I represented Australia at the World Cup, the most prestigious tournament in the sport.
Absolutely none.
That would be going off a massive jump for the first time. My personal best was 30 metres long and eight metres high.
I speak it, but very broken if at all. I can't put a sentence together.
I would tell them their granddad once got picked ahead of the best fast bowler in history. And for one day at least, I was better than the best fast bowler - even though he was retired.
Chest-high full-toss or bouncer. I wouldn't score, but I wouldn't be dead either. I would cut it away with my glove maybe …
Try and stand up [with the skis on].
Dropping about 50 catches over my career.
No, I'm okay now, but I used to s**t myself under catches years ago.
Michael Holding and Damien Fleming. Fleming takes the piss out of everyone and I enjoy it and laugh all the time. He talks sense as a former fast bowler.
I can't really use it in an interview either. I would love to be an angry fast bowler and just abuse people, but I really don't have it in me to do it.
"Dirty Dirk". I just hate it. I don't know how it came about.
[Asks his wife, Erin, for help] My wife says I'm an excellent father and I've always got time for my kid.
Brad Hodge. Six years ago he took 29 off one of my overs. Even it if it was in some practice game in Victoria, I remember it and it does trouble me.
Use them for lawn bowls for my son.
Five musical instruments, five computers, and 600-odd CDs.
To use sunscreen.
Beer.
Something unusual that I wouldn't see in my country. Vietnam, Japan are places with cultural differences that I have visited.
I'm probably the only fast bowler to have figures 0.1-0-2-1. I bowled a knee-high full toss, which was caught at point. The next two deliveries were full-tosses past the head and were called no-balls, and I taken off the attack. There's another one where I bowled the first ball and faced the first ball for Victoria against Queensland at the Gabba in 2006-07.
The best thing various people have told me is I'm far better than what I think I am - that I belong at this level.
