Terrible stuff

Cricketer attempts suicide: News24: South Africa: News

One of my least favorite players and he's obviously ****ed up but hopefully he gets the right help and recovers.

Not good to hear. Hope he recovers.

Loved watching him play. Such a psychotic bowler.

 

[robelinda]

Loved his fired up bowling during the 03/04 SA v WI test series, he was really giving it to Lara big time.

also loved him getting smashed out of the wanderers in 2002 during Gilchrist's 204*.

Not something you want to see about anyone. Frankly what people thought of him on the field is so so insignificant compared to the distress he and his close ones must be going through. Best wishes.

 

[fredfertang]

Not an easy bloke to like but certainly an entertainer - hope he sorts himself out if for no other reason than for the good of his blameless unborn child

 

[lockton2skipper]

cricket wise loved him. looks like he's been a selfish twatt like most sportsman, prositutes and affairs are ok unless it gets out is that the theorry. most things like this do get exposed sooner or later.

Andre could be a tiger in the bedroom as well as on the pitch.

 

[Rant0r]

This looks like a car accident in slow motion

 

[Daemon]

disgrace

 

[Scaly piscine]

Have no sympathy for him. Just one more selfish act to go on the list by the looks of things.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Just a horrible situation overall with no winners. Hopefully he gets the help he needs, and the child can be brought up in a healthy environment, whether that is with or without Andre.

Weird, as I came back to this thread Jumper by Third Eye Blind got chosen by my iPod..

Absolutely inappropriate and gutless given the situation. No more of this from you or anyone else please.

 

[pasag]

Some real classy stuff in this thread.

Why should we ***** foot around the real issue once a touchy subject has been exposed ? Seriously, if people think the guy is a ****, why shouldn't they say so just because this has come out ? It's like all the people chasing hearses of famous people they bagged out when they were alive

 

[Langeveldt]

A lot sportsmen have been under the cosh recently regarding exposes and allegations like these.. Rooney, Crouch, Joost, Nel, Woods, Beckham, Andries Bekker.. I've met Andre Nel, whose off field persona is completely the opposite to what people see on TV when he plays cricket.. He's a religious guy and this stuff is pretty surprising to say the least.. But then again, religion didn't stop Hansie commiting his crimes either..

 

[vic_orthdox]

Yeah, think Nel's quite liked by the players of many countries. As for the fans...

Making slights on a person in a suicide thread is a bit of a dog act IMO.
