How England won that tri series still remains one of life's great mysteries.

Alex Lees always tears me a new one in that game (when playing county)It was a who's who of International Cricket Captain players.
Vinod Kambli mostly as an underwhelming ODI player, but he had a interesting test career. In his first 8 innings he had an insane run where he scored 224,227,125, & 120 as a 21 year old. Only went past 50 twice in 13 innings after that, and played his last test match at the age of 23. Despite finishing up early, he still holds the record for the highest test average for an Indian test batsman (min qualification 20 innings). My favourite thing about him that at one point, he'd have 9 grips on his handle
There are several highlights packages of that chase on the YouTube machine; some of them up to 40 minutes long.Jim Maxwell peeled off his 5 favourite tests out of the 300 he’s covered on the ABC today.
Number 5 was the world record run chase at Antigua in 2003.
He mentioned the gloriously named Vasbert Drakes and obscure off spinner Omari Banks. Made my day.
Quality bowler who lost the radar on both chances at Test level.Probably not obscure, but 'member Chris Matthews? Poor bugger
Even I reckon Mugabe's impact on the Test side was among the least of his crimes. But, yeah, they were just starting to get competitive against the lesser teams (such as England at that time) and cricket all went pear-shaped. (The nation had been going that way for a while.)F*** Mugabe, the Zims started putting together a tasty little side for a while there until he f***ed the joint up.
Just looking at his profile now and it makes you wonder why he never played for England again. First Class average of 40 with 23 hundreds. Didn't disgrace himself in a handful of ODI's he played in that 2011 series before the world cup. 32 years old as well so time is still on his side.Steven Davies was the first International cricketer to come out as homosexual. Didn't play much for England after that and not sure he played much county cricket after either
Heath Streak is not obscure.
He was a damn good player.
Averaged 22 with the bat and took 216 wickets at 28 in tests.
Averaged 28 with the bat and took 239 wickets at 29 in one dayers.
Heath Streak is one of the best modern cricketers that Zimbabwe has produced for sure. Probably not deserving of being mentioned in an obscure thread!
From memory, they played like shite all series and then snuck a close win against NZ. Then Liam Plunkett started swinging the ball like Akram and Paul Collingwood turned into Ricky Ponting.Only had one shot!

Nagamootoo. One memory I have in my head is he took and catch (maybe off his own bowling) he then threw the ball up in the air and dropped it. Remember the commentators saying he’s lucky the umpires said not out.
