Andre Nel's alter ego

Question: What's the secret to Andre Nel's firebrand fast bowler's eccentricity?

Answer: An alter ego by the name of Gunther, according to the BBC. The mind boggles.

According to Nel, "Gunther lives in the mountains in Germany. When he was a kid there was a lack of oxygen going to his brain, so something went wrong in his mind. As soon as I get thrown the ball it's like a little switch goes in my head. It's time to get aggressive."

Well, they do say great fast bowlers hunt in pairs...

Clearly the man is a nutter. Unfortunately Gunter is a good bowler though!
