(born
March 16 ,
1974 ,
Bulawayo ) is a
Zimbabwean Cricket er. He made his Test debut in Zimbabwe's tour of
Pakistan 1993 /
1994 making his mark by taking 8 wickets in the 2nd Test at
Rawalpindi (
December 9 -
14 , 1993). He won the
Man Of The Series award in that series taking 22 wickets at an average of 13.54.
He bettered his best bowling figures in
1995 when Pakistan toured Zimbabwe taking 6/90 in the first Test at
Harare .
In
2000 /
2001 , he won 2 man of the series awards, first in Zimbabwe's tour of
England and then in
Bangladesh 's tour of Zimbabwe.
He is the only Zimbabwean bowler to have taken over 100 Test wickets and one of only 2 Zimbabwean bowlers to have taken over 100 ODI wickets (the other being
Grant Flower ). There is little doubt that he is the best bowler to have played for Zimbabwe, with the ability to extract seam movement at a lively pace on even the deadest of wickets.
In
1995 /
96 , Streak played in the same
Matabeleland team as his 46-year-old father Denis in the final of the Lonrho Logan Cup against
Mashonaland Country Districts ; this was the first instance of a father and son playing in the same first-class match for more than thirty years.
He retired from international cricket in October 2005 to become captain of
Warwickshire County Cricket Club having previously played county cricket for
Hampshire .
