In his debut Test match against England in 2003,[1] Zondeki's bowling was limited due to injury. However, he made a significant contribution with the bat, scoring 59 runs in the first innings. He also partnered with Gary Kirsten for a crucial eighth-wicket stand of 150 runs, rescuing South Africa from a precarious position of 142 for 7.[2] In his second Test against Zimbabwe in 2004-05, Zondeki took impressive figures of 3 for 66 and 6 for 39, helping South Africa secure an innings victory and earning him the player of the match award.[3]
During the 2007-08 South African season, Zondeki emerged as the leading wicket-taker, capturing 62 wickets at an average of 19.17.[4] He represented Warwickshire during the early weeks of the 2008 season, where he was coached by former South African fast bowler Allan Donald. Although he took 4 for 95 in a County Championship match, his spell at Edgbaston was not successful, with 9 wickets at 42.33 in four Championship matches and 1 for 158 in four List A matches.
