    How to deal with Andre Nel

    Andre Nel is not just a clown, he's a pretty good bowler. But it totally irritates me when his follow-through keeps increasing with every ball and he's ultimately standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the batsman.

    Here's what I'd do if I were a batsman and Andre Nel kept coming closer to me*.

    I'd blow him a kiss if he was within a metre or so of me. If he was within a foot, I'd plant a kiss on his cheek. I am fairly sure that these two actions would definitely prevent him from continuing with extending his follow-through every time.

    Of course, he could take the wind out of my sails by blowing a kiss back, or go on with extending his follow-through all the way to the striker's end stumps. I don't know what I'd do. I'd perhaps hit him with a bat. Maybe I'd spit on his face.

    NB: This is absolutely no indicator of my sexual inclination.

    I don't know bout' spitting on or hitting another player, but just a wink or just telling him how good he looks in his whites might scare him from the strikers end. if not id hate to be the south africans who have to shower with him.

    Or you could do what Sreesanth did on the third day. Just hit a six over long off and show a bit of your dancing skills to shut up Nel.

    Sreesanth's dance outdoes most other fantasies you have nurtured! But yes, what SS did was the safest!
