Andre Nel
« on: July 30, 2008, 02:39:29 PM »

Do you think that South Africa have made a mistake leaving him out untill now? I do as Harris just looks complete rubbish,he just never looks like taking a wicket. Also Nel is a great charecter and he always brings something different to the game and looks like he gives 200% every delivery.

Well he was certainly the most dangerous bowler today. Harris is a pathetic bowler! On a side note after every delivery he puts his hands in the air whether it is an edge or block! Haha!

Ex Professional Cricketers are far more likely to commit suicide than players of any other sport.

I doubt he actually had the affair though, unless he has been drinking with warney when he was in London.  :D Andre Nel has always been a favourite of mine to watch. Typical old skool fast bowler. Aggressive, powerful, very vocal and always takes wickets, even if he has to bully them. Always seem to give it his all and plays with so much passion.

Affairs aren't uncommon in cricket, they're just not big enough names for the papers to worry about or for the story to be sold.

He had a well publicised persona for the field and it was very different to his off field one, the fact the story has been published without any gain for the story gives weight to the likelihood that he did have an affair.

Well yeah I suppose that's a fair comment. Just read that he admitted to it so I was obviously wrong.
