De Villiers: Misunderstood or liability? 9:32pm on 02 Jul 2009 Gavin_AM

He didn't directly condone eye-gouging. However, what he said was that the incident "didn't even deserve a card", which it did, and that "it is part of the game", which is is not.

Hardly the words of someone condoning eye-gouging.

However I do feel that there is a bit of a witch hunt against him which is unwarranted. The only people whose opinion you should take any notice of is the players who play under him.

Darth_Bladers comments about his grasp of English are an example of this. From what I've heard he has an excellent grasp of English. But regardless why should he speak perfect English when his native tongue is Africaan? How is your French, Korean, Dutch etc?
