Brett Nolan Schultz (born 26 August 1970 in East London, Cape Province) is a former South African cricketer who played in nine Tests and one ODI from 1992 to 1997. During the course of his career, he also played for Eastern Province, Western Province and Gauteng, previously Transvaal. Schultz’s fast-paced left-handed bowling caused major problems for both right- and left-handed batsmen, evidenced by the 20 wickets which fell in the three-Test series against Sri Lanka in 1993-94, his debut tour. Described in 2013 by the (Indian Express ) as “one of the most intimidating opponents in world cricket”,〔()〕 Schultz made his mark on the world stage despite his career being plagued by injury. While he only lasted nine Tests, the "Bear", as he was aptly named for his menacing demeanour on field, added excitement and character to the cricket pitch and an air of tension for batsmen and fans alike whenever he thundered towards the bowling crease. Following his cricketing career, and after a stint as owner of trendy All Bar None on Bree Street, Cape Town, Schultz turned his attention to business. He is now a Director at short-term insurance specialists, (Econorisk ), a leading independent South African-based risk and insurance advisory business. ==Charitable Work== Brett Schultz is actively involved in supporting a number of charitable organisations. SOS Children's Villages SA and (Acres of Love ) are two charities close to his heart. (SARDA (South African Riding for the Disabled) ) is another charity which he supports, cycling the Cape Argus Pick 'n Pay Cycle Tour in 2014 to raise money on their behalf. He is also actively involved in supporting Equestrian dressage Paralympic hopeful, Nicole Sanders, who has Cerebral Palsy (Spastic Diplegia), on her journey towards competing for South Africa in the Summer Paralympic Games in to be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from 7 to 18 September 2016. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brett Schultz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
