'''Dewald Pretorius''' (born 6 December 1977) is a South African [[cricket]]er. He is a right-arm fast [[bowler (cricket)|bowler]] who debuted for the [[South Africa national cricket team]] in the second Test against [[Australia national cricket team|Australia]] during the 2001/2002 series. He has not featured regularly for his country and has played only four Tests, last appearing in the fourth Test against [[England]] in 2003. Pretorius has also played, at county level, for the English sides [[Durham County Cricket Club|Durham]] and [[Warwickshire County Cricket Club|Warwickshire]], where he recorded career best [[List A cricket|List A]] figures of five wickets for 32 runs against [[Kent County Cricket Club|Kent]].
Pretorius achieved some notoriety during [[United Kingdom|UK]] coverage of South Africa's 2003 Test series with England, because of his rather difficult and troubled childhood.<ref>[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cricket/2408803/Murder-domestic-violence-police-brutality-Pretoriuss-epic-journey.html Murder, domestic violence, police brutality: Pretorius's epic journey]</ref> The high point of his career came in the first Test of that tour (Pretorius' second Test), when in successive overs during a hostile spell he removed [[Michael Vaughan]] caught behind for 156 and clean bowled [[Alec Stewart]] for 38 with an in-swinging yorker, en route to career-best Test innings figures of 4–115.<ref>[http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/64038.html England v South Africa at Edgbaston, 1st Test, 2003]</ref>
