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.
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”[2], Schultz made his mark on the world stage despite his career being plagued by injury – several knee injuries, arm and buttock strains saw him in and out of hospital.
Whilst 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 club owner of All Bar None on trendy Bree Street, Cape Town, Schultz turned his attention to business. He is now a short-term insurance specialist at Econorisk [2], a leading independent South African-based risk and insurance advisory business.
