	Cricinfo - Players and Officials - Kepler Wessels
		Kepler Wessels was a cricket itinerant and boxing aficionado who, before opening for Australia for four years, played in his native South Africa, in England and in World Series Cricket.
		A seemingly severe man, Wessels enjoyed only qualified popularity among Australians, who were unsurprised to see him return to South Africa, but with an average of 43 in 24 Tests, he did give Australia stout service at a difficult time.
		He went into coaching after retiring, and while he was initially successful at Northants, he found it hard to drive a side operating on a showstring and he left by mutual consent midway through the 2006 season.
