Arthur confident Botha will be cleared
South African national coach Mickey Arthur on Wednesday expressed his fullest confidence in Proteas' spin bowler Johan Botha's ability to continue his career at the highest level.
This followed the off spinner being reported by the match officials for the second time in his career for a suspect action.
“Johan has been through this process before and was cleared to continue his career and I am confident that this will happen again,” commented Arthur. “I don't believe anything major has changed in his action since then but we will obviously respect the process and the outcome.
“Johan is a man of tremendous self belief and character. He has shown that both in the way he dealt with the original setback in 2006 and again by the manner in which he led the Standard Bank ODI squad when Graeme Smith was injured.
“And, with the support of his team mates and management, I am sure he will put this latest setback behind him as well,” Arthur added.
