Andrew Hall

Last updated

I can only assume that he was reacting to the bitter disappointment of being left out of the World Cup [Championship] squad.

County career

Hall played for Durham Cricket Board in the 1999 NatWest Trophy, his first experience in English County Cricket. He played one List A match for Suffolk in the 2002 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy whilst playing for Rawtenstall in the Lancashire League. This was Halls only appearance in any form of cricket for Suffolk. He then played his first senior English cricket for Worcestershire in the 2003 and 2004 English seasons.

Hall moved to play for Kent from 2005 to 2007, playing parts of each season when not appearing for the South African side. He returned to England in 2008 when he signed for Northamptonshire as a Kolpak player. While playing for Northants he set a record for the side's best Twenty20 bowling figures, taking 6/21 against Worcestershire in 2008. He also achieved his best Twenty20 batting performance in the same game (66 not out). He became captain of the county in 2010 after fellow South African Nicky Boje resigned, remaining captain until after the 2012 season when he was replaced by Stephen Peters. [16] During his tenure as captain he nearly led Northants to promotion in the County Championship.

Hall continued to play for Northants until the end of the 2014 season when he was not offered a new contract. He announced his retirement from professional cricket shortly afterwards. [17]

Mugging incidents

Hall was the victim of a robbery at an automatic teller machine in 1999 during which he was shot in his left hand. [18] The mugger is said to have fired six shots at him. [19] In 2002, he was driven around in his own car with a gun pointed to his head. [19]
