Andre Nel (born 15 July 1977, Germiston, Transvaal) is a South African cricketer who plays Test cricket and ODIs as a fast bowler.

International career

In January 2005 against England he took 6/81 in the first innings of the Test [ [http://content-rsa.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/64120.html Cricinfo - 5th Test: South Africa v England at Centurion, Jan 21-25, 2005] ] . These remained his best innings bowling figures until South Africa's tour of the West Indies in April 2005 when in the 3rd Test at Kensington Oval he took 6/32 to go with his first innings 4 wickets. [ [http://content-rsa.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/207334.html Cricinfo - 3rd Test: West Indies v South Africa at Bridgetown, Apr 21-25, 2005] ] This gave him his first 10 wicket haul in Test cricket and he was subsequently named man of the match. Nel went on to take 14 wickets during his side's tour of Australia later in 2005, finishing the year with 36 victims at 20.72.

He has constantly troubled Brian Lara in Test cricket, having dismissed him on no fewer than 8 occasions.

In the first test [ [http://content-rsa.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/299004.html Cricinfo - 1st Test: Pakistan v South Africa at Karachi, Oct 1-5, 2007] ] of the Bank Alfalah Test Series versus Pakistan in Karachi, Nel became the 11th South African to reach the milestone of 100 dismissals in test cricket [ [http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/bowling/most_wickets_career.html?class=1;id=3;type=team Cricinfo - Records - South Africa - Test Matches - Most Wickets] ] , when he dismissed the Pakistani nightwatchman, Mohammad Asif on 5 October 2007.

County Cricket

After the 2007 World Cup, carrying a highly aggressive and respected reputation, Nel joined the English County of Essex, making his debut for the 2005 and 2006 Pro 40 Champions against the side he first experienced the English game with, Northamptonshire.He also had a brief spell in the northern league in England.

Indian Premier League

Andre Nel has been signed by Mumbai Indians, an Indian Premier League franchise. He joined the Mumbai Indians as a replacement to West Indian cricketer, Dwayne Bravo, who returned home for national duty after the game against Deccan Chargers on May 18, 2008.

Controversies

Nel has been involved in a number of controversies both on and off the field, as he has been fined for obscene language and for ICC Code of Conduct breaches during his career.

In February 2001 he hit the headlines after bursting into tears when he felled Allan Donald with a fiery bouncer in a domestic first-class match. It emerged later that he had been following instructions from his coach Ray Jennings to target Donald. [ [http://content-rsa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/98950.html Cricinfo - Donald price tag a joke, say Easterns] ]

During 2003 he was sent home from a South Africa A tour of Australia after being pulled over for drink driving. [ [http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/southafrica/content/story/124029.html Cricinfo - Andre Nel sent home on a drunk driving charge] ] Later in the year during the tour of the West Indies he, along with four other teammates, was found guilty of smoking marijuana. [ [http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/southafrica/content/story/106101.html Cricinfo - South African players fined for smoking marijuana] ]

His enthusiastic and aggressive approach on the field also gets him into trouble and he was notably brought before the match referee for making offensive facial gestures to Chris Gayle and subsequently fined half of his match fee. [ [http://content-rsa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/125877.html Cricinfo - Nel fined for abusive gestures] ]

Often referred to as a gentle giant off the field, Nel has attributed his eccentric onfield behaviour to his alter ego an oxygen starved mountain man known as Gunther. [ [http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/southafrica/content/current/story/296983.html Cricinfo - Meet Gunther, the mountain boy] ]
