Zimbabwe cricket team's bowling spearhead in the 1990s and early 2000s, Heath Streak claimed more than 450 Internationals wickets. Accuracy, and on top of that out-swinging ability, made him one of the best during his time. Besides bowling exploits, he was a useful lower-order bat who rescued Zimbabwe many a time.
