Garth Le Roux

Garth Stirling Le Roux (born 4 September 1955 in Kenilworth, Cape Town) is a former South African first class cricketer.

Le Roux was a powerful fast bowler and big hitting tail-end batsman, scoring 26 half centuries in his career.

Deprived of international cricket because of the sporting ban due to Apartheid, the South Africans were desperate to do well.

On 10 April 2006 Le Roux appeared in court charged with 48 counts of tax fraud involving R 1.8 million.
