Having been a talented player at schoolboy level, Terbrugge suffered a back injury at the age of eighteen which easily could have called an end to his career.

Terbrugge bowls a perfect line and length and is well-skilled at polishing off tail-end batsmen. He had to wait until 2000 for his One-day international debut, but had a very good debut, claiming 4 wickets for just 20 runs in a South African victory over Pakistan. 1998 (MCMXCVIII) is a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year of the Ocean. ... 1999 (MCMXCIX) is a common year starting on Friday, and was designated the International Year of Older Persons by the United Nations. ...

DavidTerbrugge was scheduled to be on the golf course at Fancourt at the end of this week, attempting to take money off his agent Mike Dobrowski, and getting some time away from the cricket field after the Highveld Strikers' triumph in the Standard Bank Cup.
Terbrugge would have toured New Zealand before, but an ankle injury after a successful series against the West Indies interrupted his national career, and although he featured against Bangladesh in 2002, he has struggled to find his way back into the South African team.
His two for 31 in the Standard Bank final reflected the consistency that a fitter, stronger bowler has shown this season, and that is the quality that Henry and his fellow selectors will hope to see more of.
DURBAN -- Gauteng fast bowler 21-year-old DavidTerbrugge must be strongly fancied to earn his first Test cap in the South African cricket side to take the field against the West Indies in the opening match of the five-Test Series at the Wanderers in Johannesburg beginning on Thursday.
Terbrugge got the nod for a place in the squad ahead of Makhaya Ntini, who must be regarded as a trifle unlucky, while in a bid to cover all contingencies two spinners in Adams and Symcox are also included.
Meanwhile Terbrugge, who could make a Test debut on his home ground, is rated as one of the two in-form quickies in South Africa at the moment along with Merryck Pringle.
