South African all-rounder David Wiese has said he felt like a hamster spinning in a wheel during his season at Sussex.

Wiese told titans.co.za: “The volume of cricket you play in England is really high, so there’s not much time to train.

"So if you’re not in form, you can begin to feel like a hamster spinning in a wheel. You need to learn to get over your disappointments quickly and manage your expectations.

“Playing for Sussex, we had a lot of dead-rubber games because we had a pretty average season and didn’t have much to play for by the end.

"But it was so close because in the T20s we missed the play-offs only on nett run-rate and in the 50-over competition we were just one point off the quarter-finals.”
