Nigel Grant Brouwers (4 September 1976 – 3 July 2021) was a South African cricketer.[1] He played in 31 first-class and 30 List A matches from 1998 to 2009.[2][3][4]
Brouwers attended Gelvandale Secondary School and played for Eastern Province Schools in 1991.[1] He made his first-class cricket debut in the 1998/99 season for Eastern Province, before going on to play for Northerns in 2000/01.[1] In the 2006/07 season, Brouwers made his debut for South Western Districts.[1] On his debut for South Western Districts, he made his highest score in first-class cricket, with 63 runs against Kei.[1] In his maiden List A match for the team, he also scored his highest score in the format, with 94 runs.[1] In his first-class career, he took 75 wickets, with his best figures of 6/57 coming against Griqualand West in the 1998/99 season.[1] His best figures in List A cricket came in his final match, against Gauteng,[1] where he took three wickets for sixteen runs.[5]
In February 1999, Brouwers was found guilty of stealing the wallet of fellow cricketer Alan Badenhorst.[6] The incident occurred during Eastern Province's match against Griqualand in the 1998/99 season, with Brouwers taking the wallet from the changing rooms.[6] Brouwers was given twenty hours of community service.[6]
In the 2006/07 season, Brouwers and Sammy-Joe Avontuur set a new opening partnership record for South Western Districts in a List A cricket match.[7] The pair made 109 together against Kei.[7]
Brouwers died in July 2021 from COVID-19, with his mother dying on the same day and his father a week later.[8] South Africa former international cricketer Alviro Petersen said that Brouwers was "one of the most talented cricketers I have known".[8]
