 Zulu sues over SA Foxtrot Oscar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
He was a colourful and confrontational figure on the pitch, and Lance Klusener has shown that he's lost none of his appetite for combat by planning to sue the SA board after he missed out on selection for the tour of England.
People react to adversity in different ways, of course, but Klusener's plan for legal action against his national cricket board for alleged loss of earnings is less a case of taking the biscuit than making a run for it with the entire tin stuffed under your jacket.
Klusener was also quick to brush off accusations made by Graeme Smith, South Africa's captain, that the side was better off without him as he was not a team player.

 Mondaypaper > Scholars ponder Klusener's lot   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Monday Paper recently sought comment from a few scholars at UCT to share their expertise and thoughts on the axing of Lance Klusener from the Proteas squad, and his subsequent case against the United Cricket Board of South Africa (UCB) in front of the Commission of Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA).
Klusener is claiming compensation from the UCB for failing to renew his contract, even though, he says, he was told that it would be done.
Basing their case on performance, for example, could be iffy (Klusener was after all - with the bat at least - one of the better performers during the World Cup, bar his eight-ball, one-run plod in the decisive clash against Sri Lanka), said Le Roux.

Few would figure Lance Klusener to be a No. 11, but that's where he batted after breaking into first-class cricket as a fast bowler.
Few would pencil Klusener in at the top of the order either, especially after his dismal form in West Indies (2000-01) and Australia (2001-02).
Contrary to his reputation as an unrefined slogger, set in stone at the 1999 World Cup, Klusener is one of the most skilful players in the game - which makes him one of the most adaptable.

 The Klusener verdict
However, while I agree that nobody is bigger than the game, I am also of the opinion that Klusener should have been given a hearing so that UCB could assess his point of view or what he had to say on the matter.
To have literally given Klusener the 'Boot' without giving the man a chance to express his side of things, I feel, UCB have done grave injustice to a man who has tremendously contributed to the cause and popularity of the game of cricket.
I hope Klusener does find favour with the UCB and things are settled for the benefit of one and all.

Klusener smashed two sixes and 13 fours as he rescued South Africa from a disastrous 34 for five to 253 all out, after Sri Lanka captain Sanath Jayasuriya had won the toss for the fifth consecutive occasion.
The 28-year-old left-hand Klusener held the South African innings together in partnership with vice-captain Mark Boucher, who helped him in a sixth wicket stand of 124, and then with the tailenders with whom he raised a further 80 runs to raise the total to some respectability.
Klusener was harsh on the spinners, hitting Muttiah Muralitharan and Upul Chandana for a six apiece, as he mixed caution with aggression to break the stranglehold the slow bowlers had on the batting.
