Streak is Zimbabwe’s record wicket-taker in both Test cricket and one-day internationals.

Streak is Zimbabwe’s record wicket-taker in both Test cricket – with 216, the only Zimbabwean to even reach three figures – and one-day internationals with 237 scalps, again over 100 clear of the field. He took seven five-wicket Test hauls and another in a 1997 ODI against India.He was named captain in 2000 but resigned initially a year later and then again in 2004 as both cricketing and political issues plagued the national team.

He took over as Zimbabwe’s head coach in 2016 but was sacked two years later after they missed out on World Cup qualification. In 2021, Streak was banned from cricket for eight years after admitting five breaches of the International Cricket Council’s anti-corruption code. Nadine Streak’s Facebook post read: “In the early hours of this morning, Sunday September 3 2023, the greatest love of my life and the father of my beautiful children was carried to be with the angels from his home where he wished to spend his last days surrounded by his family and closest loved ones. He was covered in love and peace and did not walk off the park alone.”Our thoughts & prayers are with his family.
