I am staring straight out over the most picturesque scenery. My position, 1000 metres high on top of Table Mountain prevents me from enjoying Cape Town’s most glorious and dramatic sight – the mountain itself – but ahead of me I pick out Robben Island, infamous as the prison of Nelson Mandela, and to the right the natural bay of the harbour. The beaches of Camps Bay and Clifton, where the beautiful people lounge, provide a stunning golden contrast to the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean as I bring my gaze in from the horizon. I had seen it all before, 10 years before in fact when I wintered on the Cape as a 22-year old professional cricketer but then I never had any intention of jumping off the top. Waqar Younis, the Surrey and Pakistani quick bowler was more my thing although to say I enjoyed fending off the missiles he propelled would be a little disingenuous. I cannot deny it though; ducking 90 miles per hour bouncers was thrilling and something I had craved since childhood.

Suddenly my arm is being tapped, the bustle of activity surrounding me jolts me out of my reflections and I am getting the thumbs-up.
