Johan Botha (born 2 May 1982 in Johannesburg) is an all-rounder South African cricketer. He made his Test debut against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground in January 2006 during the 2005-06 tour, and claimed batsman Mike Hussey for his first Test wicket. However, he was reported for throwing the ball at the conclusion of the match [1]. He was allowed to play several games during the 2005–06 VB Series, but in February, was suspended from bowling following an analysis by bowling expert Bruce Elliott[2]. He hoped to return to bowling after an examination by the ICC in August 2006, but he was found still to be bending his arm more than the acceptable 15 degrees.[3]
