I've got a great picture of Heath Streak bowling in 1996, but i cant't post it for some reason. He looks strong and really young on it as well.

Could be due to the size constraints. You can't upload something that is bigger than 250 KB.

In the 5 ODI match series in 2001-02 at home, India were trailing Zim 1-2 after 3 matches. The two losses were largely due to the heroics of the two "Douglas"es in the Zim team. Douglas Marillier scooped his way to stardom in the first match (http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/64753.html), and Douglas Hondo rocked the Indian top order to ensure another victory for Zim in the third match (http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/64755.html).

They were so impactful that a commentator said during the series that the Indian team was suffering from "Douglas Syndrome".

Here are the images of theirs, from those two matches:

This picture either shows how tall Pommie is, or how small Tatenda is. There's a huge difference in height between the two

Some bits from the brilliant youtube archive of robelinda2:

Footage of Matsi as a twelve-year old, as he gets to meet David Boon - isn't he cute (Matsi that is)? I was interested to learn that he bowled a few leggies too at that time.
Not so sure about some of the views of his coach though.

And the original "Marillier" in Australia in 2001, when we lost by one run (and Stu Carlisle ran one short earlier)

And, from a different source, Doug gets out the "Marillier" again to take Zim to a rare ODI win in India in 2002.

Oh, I see the Marillier match in India has already been mentioned above.

Anyway here's another one from way back when the fathers of two current players were still active and Zim beat England in a low-scoring thriller in the WC:
