Andre Nel's bowling action

Does anybody find it a slightly odd action? It's where his legs are positioned at the end of it that's slightly odd.

It does seem very ungainly, cant argue with its effectivness though. I also think that Stuart Clarks action also seems very "stiff" any one alse think so?

Clark's action is very stiff but it is a perfect action for control and out swing. Nel does something funny with his hips when he bowls, he a decent bowler so it does not matter that he looks like.

I'm not saying it matters, but even my mother who doesn't watch cricket says "He looks odd bowling" but I suppose if it works for him let him be.
