Hmm something of an understatement there. He's a disgrace to his profession and given some of the comments he made during his "I want to play for England" phase if I was a South African I wouldn't want him playing in my domestic competition let alone anywhere near the national team.
Not that I'd expect him to be close to international selection as whilst he clearly does have some talent he's nowhere near the batsmen that some tout him as or he believes he is. Some major technical faults that I doubt he has the work ethic or humility to sort out and let's not forget the weight, fitness and fielding issues. For a profesional sportsman (and a South African one at that) to be in his physical conditions in this era simply defies belief.
