http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Johan-Botha-c67173 and David Hussey: competitive all rounders – IPL 4
The all rounder is an integral part of their teams especially in the shorter versions of the game where their presence can be witnessed whether their side is batting or fielding. They have the capability to win the game single-handed on their day and their
proximity can be felt almost in every match of the Indian Premier League-4.
High-lights of Johan Botha of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Punjab-c833 is as follows:
Johan Botha was born on 2 May, 1982 at Johannesburg, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757. He is an all rounder who bats right-hand and bowls right-arm off break.
He has played for South Africa, Eastern Province, Africa XI, Warriors, Border and Rajasthan Royals.
Botha wanted to become a fast bowler and started working hard in that field but was referred by the Famous Coach http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mickey-Arthur-c1969 to divert his potentials as an off spinner. He followed his instructions and carried on learning the art, excelled himself in off
spin bowling and gave special attention to deliver the doosra. Botha followed the techniques of great off spinners like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453. He is regarded as a competent bowler who can stop the flow of runs while taking wickets as well.
His bowling action was questioned as he started his test career in January 2006 after the tests he was subsequently banned from bowling. Botha did not give up and corrected his action accordingly, as he was cleared to bowl in 2007. He has never looked back
since then and became an integral part of South Africa. Botha has been a regular performer for the teams he plays for.
Johan is an attacking batsman and has the courage to deliver the best possible performance when his team is in dire trouble. He has played quite a few aggressive innings in the shorter versions of the game.
He made his T20 debut appearing for Eastern Cape against Western Province Boland on 13
April, 2004 at Port Elizabeth. He has played 71 matches and has taken 63 wickets at an average of 24.50 runs per wicket with the best of 4 for 19 runs.
Johan has scored 577 runs at an average of 21.37 runs with the best of unbeaten 67 runs.

on the tour to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760. Hussey has been given more preference in the shorter format games as contrast to Test cricket.
