Johan Van Der Wath

Adept at bowling slower balls and cutters, capable of hitting quick runs down the order, and athletic in the field, van der Wath possessed the qualities of the quintessential T20 cricketer and it was in this format that he achieved most of his success.

He began his career at Easterns in 1995. After 7 seasons with the club he joined the Eagles. It was here where he produced performances good enough for the Protea selectors to take notice of him and when Jacques Kallis was flown home from during the 2005-06 VB Series, South Africa needed to search for other options, it was during that time Van Der Wath came into contention.
