Heath Streak
The man who could bowl with mercurial pace and unplayable swing, Heath Streak was one of the finest bowlers to have played the game. Unarguably the best fast bowler to have represented Zimbabwe, Streak has more than 200 wickets in both ODIs and Tests.
He is the only Zimbabwean cricketer to have more than 100 Tests wickets to his credit. He was also a more than handy batsman with close to 3000 ODI runs for his country. His stint as a captain witnessed a major controversy as he was reportedly asked to tell the white players that they would be replaced by black cricketers.
His controversial removal led to major fiasco as a huge contingent of Zimbabwean players retired in protest.
After his retirement, he went on to play county cricket for Warwickshire and Hampshire. In 2009, he was appointed as the bowling coach of Zimbabwe. He then went on to become a highly successful bowling coach of Bangladesh from 2014, mentoring some promising Bangladeshi bowlers and witnessing the country's emergence as a cricketing superpower in Asia.
