Simon Harmer chats to Khalid Mohidin about the psychology behind the Jozi Stars’ title-winning season and the importance of spinners in the T20 format.

Simon Harmer was an integral part of the Jozi Stars’ success in the inaugural Mzansi Super League. So when I saw him walk past me I just had to have a quick chat with him. 

Players like Harmer are generally used to the media asking negative questions about them. So I made it very clear that I wasn’t interested in those type of questions, when he asked me “what is the interview going to be about?”

I tried to get some insight into what the side did last year that led them to the trophy. Speaking to Harmer, he explains how the team chemistry was key to them lifting the trophy as well as the psyche behind the importance of spinners in T20 cricket.
