A lion-hearted fast bowler with immense stamina and
strength, Heath Streak has the ability to bowl outswing at good pace
and with excellent control, as he showed at Lord's in 2000 when he
was virtually a one-man attack. These qualities made him the first
Zimbabwean to reach 100 Test wickets. Streak is also an extremely
capable batsman who loves to give the ball a whack over the infield,
and a magnificent outfielder with a howitzer-like throw. He was
appointed captain in 2000, but found that the responsibilities - and
tension with the board over pay and quotas - affected his form and
he resigned. He was reappointed to the role in 2002 but again found
himself in the spotlight as the Zimbabwe side disintegrated in the
wake of the country's internal turmoil. He was criticised for not
taking a firmer political stand, and the subsequent protest by Henry
Olonga and Andy Flower further weakened his standing. He again
burdened the bowling - and the batting - in Zimbabwe's disappointing
tour of England in 2003. The disintegration of the side and the
political turmoil in Zimbabwe made the captaincy increasingly
burdensome, and in April 2004 he quit after the Zimbabwe board
refused to give him guarantees over selection. After a bitter
standoff with the board, Streak finally returned to the fold in
March 2005 and was immediately restored to a struggling side. A
phlegmatic character who is hugely popular with team-mates, Streak
is a fluent Ndebele speaker and hails from a ranching family near
Bulawayo. His father, Denis, played for Zimbabwe in pre-Test days |
