Hamilton Masakadza was still a schoolboy at
Churchill High School in Harare when he set the record - since
beaten by Mohammad Ashraful - of being the youngest batsman ever to
score a century on his Test debut, at 17 years and 254 days. This
was against West Indies in 2000-01 when, batting at No. 3 instead of
his normal opening position, he scored a composed 119 that was
largely responsible for Zimbabwe saving the match after conceding a
first-innings lead of 216. Earlier in the year he had not only
become the youngest Zimbabwean ever to score a first-class century,
but also the first black player to do so. A year later, though, he
put his professional cricket career on hold as he began a three-year
course at the University of the Free State. Although an agreement
was reached that he would still be available for Zimbabwe if
required, he could not maintain his form playing against club
opposition in South Africa, and the national selectors initially
decided to await his return to the country in 2005. But the Streak
crisis led to his early recall in the one-dayers against England
where, unsurprisingly, he struggled before registering his maiden
ODI fifty in the final game. His return to the Test match team
brought mixed results, but he was Zimbabwe's best batsman,
technically, on their tour of South Africa, where he showed an
application lacking in his team mates.
