Tertius Bosch (14 March 1966 – 14 February 2000) was a South African cricketer who played in one Test and two ODIs in 1992.
Cricketing career
A fast bowler, Bosch was educated at Handhaver Laerskool and Veereniging Hoërskool, toured England and the Netherlands in 1982 with the South African Country Districts U/16s team and was named in the South African Country Districts Nuffield XI in 1983.

.Death
Bosch's official cause of death was Guillain–Barré syndrome.[3] In 2004 Bosch's sister applied successfully to the supreme court to stop his widow from inheriting the estate. Bosch had a previous joint will with his wife in which they had nominated each other as the sole heirs of their respective estates. After the joint will was concluded, and before the birth of their second child, Bosch wrote a series of notes regarding his wife's alleged infidelity. One of these handwritten notes stated that his oldest son was his sole heir. The court held that it was clear in the note, and in light of the surrounding circumstances, that Bosch had intended to disinherit his wife, and the court declared the note to be a valid will.[4]
In 2001, his body was removed from Queensburgh cemetery for exhumation. His siblings hired private investigators and there were claims he suspected his wife of infidelity and had hired investigators to monitor her.[5]
Bosch's son Corbin Bosch is a current South African first-class cricketer.
