Yes, this is how the bowling figures of Heath Streak read 12 years ago, on 23rd Jan, 2001 when Zimbabwe humiliated the West Indies in a low scoring encounter. Streak led the way, top scoring with 45 runs with the bat, and taking 8/4 with the ball:

Reliving some past glory, and hope this invigorates our team to do well against the same opposition next month...

Re: 8-4-8-4
Maybe HHM would say that Heath should not have been playing because he is a racialist white game farmer

Re: 8-4-8-4
I was at that game. Couldn't believe we defended that total. There were a decent number of Zim fans from memory, plus we tried fairly successful to win over the neutrals.

Re: 8-4-8-4
That would have been an awesome game to be in. No less than the Albury game of the 1992 world cup Vs England I'm sure. 8-4-8-4 seems mesmerizing...Jemisi wrote:I was at that game.

Re: 8-4-8-4
I was down after the first innings, dissapointed Streak had just missed his 50, and then he and Strang just gave them nothing, and the crowd got excited and I only got scared again when the Windies were about 80, but Nkala came through.

Re: 8-4-8-4
What really happened to Nkala? He was good in the early 2000 then just faded away only to come back after the rebel walkout a below average player.

Re: 8-4-8-4
Apart from race issues, there's tribalism as well you know - Shona-Ndebele! That played a huge part, but Nkala's own indifferent form was to blame as well. Not that the rest of our players weren't chronically suffering from the same...takleg wrote:What really happened to Nkala?

Re: 8-4-8-4
mark vermeulen and diON DIGBY WERE IN THE EXACT SAME BOAT, WHEN THE REBEL SAGA HIT THEY JUST FAILED TO DO ANYTHING...
Although i think in marks case that head knock really fucked him round... he was NOT the same player after that, and was showin serious signs of being a very good player before that incident

Re: 8-4-8-4
Yeah, Vermeulen had an extended run in the side after the rebel exodus and only had one decent score if I remember correctly. I have my doubts if he would be any more successful now.
