David Terbrugge

David John Terbrugge (born 31 January 1977) is a former cricketer, who played in seven Test matches and four One Day Internationals for the South Africa national cricket team between 1998 and 2004. A back injury caused his early retirement. Terbrugge bowled right-arm fast-medium deliveries and batted right-handed as a tailender.

Having been a talented player at schoolboy level, Terbrugge was part South Africa's under-19 tour of England in 1995 when he suffered a back injury and had to return home early. He was then aged 18 and the injury could have ended his career, but he recovered and became a full international bowler. He needed an ankle operation in 1999, but again he recovered well and carried on playing for South Africa. He played domestically for Gauteng and Highveld Lions, before an injury in 2005 forced his retirement from all cricket at the age of 29.
