He was in Canberra and had left his phone on silent that night. He woke up in the morning and had 80 messages and 30 missed calls. He quickly jumped on it and realised that the fires were a lot closer to his home. The scariest thing was that he received a call from people in Cape Town were time was 3:30 that he had 5 minutes as they were evacuating. He was sitting half way across the World and everything that he had got or earned in life,every ball, every wicket, and every bit of clothing in his 31 years was in that house.
He chose his words well, thanking all firefighters and rescue relief team in South Africa who have been battling the the flames which have destroyed hames and turned huge areas of plants to ash. He also acknowledged the firefighters and they risked their lives.
Steyn's words of concern and thanks were prompt, emotional and gracious.
