An update in a social networking site said that he was "travelling south bound and may have lost control of the vehicle slamming into a pole." The location of the accident is also uncertain.

I remember this guy for the 31 ball duck he made against us in 2006.

Still holds that record, I'd imagine; and will do for some time.

yeah he does, for all his controversies it's a big shame (if true), rip

33 years old... ****

Gayle and KP tweeting condolences as well.

Remember him reasonably well, although perhaps more for his feisty, competitive behaviour than elegant batting. A true competitor and by all reports a bit of a character as well. Still remember that run-out where he was walking off the ground furious at Chanderpaul, only to be called back when replays showed it was Shiv who was short of his ground instead

33 is too young to go. RIP.

he manged to get away with it but didn't he stab some bloke in the chest a few years back?

Not sure he's a character, all the incidents with this bloke he sounded more like a psychopath.

Apparently failed a psychological assessment a few years back after shifting teams. Interesting guy to say the least.

Regardless of that, he was definitely a passionate guy who seemingly loved his cricket, RIP.
