Probably the only cricketer in the world to have
been shot at point-blank range during a mugging and lived to tell
the tale, Andrew Hall has seized the opportunity to play
international cricket with both hands. Which is all the more
remarkable considering that Hall took a bullet in his left hand as a
mugger let fly six shots at him at an ATM machine late one night in
1998. Miraculously, the bullet lodged in his hand without causing
serious damage and Hall recovered sufficiently to win a place in
South Africa's one-day side against the West Indies in 1999. He
played only one match and appeared to have slipped out of the
selectors' minds until Australia arrived in April 2003 for three
one-day games. With Herschelle Gibbs struggling for form, Hall was
given a match as Gary Kirsten's opening partner. Against the world's
fastest bowler, Brett Lee, Hall looked the part, scoring a composed
46 and it was enough to win him a place in the South African squad
for Sri Lanka. When Gibbs was then out of the picture because of his
involvement in the match-fixing scandal, Hall resumed his
partnership with Kirsten and against a Sri Lankan attack which
included Muttiah Muralitharan on a turning wicket, he made a most
impressive 81. An allrounder who played indoor cricket for South
Africa before breaking into the first-class game, Hall was initially
seen as a bowler who batted down the order. During the 2003 England
tour, Hall cemented himself as a valuable member of the side. A late
call-up to the squad, Hall took 16 wickets in the series, and
ensured South Africa won at Headingley with a buccaneering 99 not
out. As a tidy medium-pacer, he has opened the bowling for Gauteng
on a semi-regular basis, but it has been his batting, combined with
a wonderfully competitive approach to the game, that has given him
international recognition
