It has to be Heath Streak and Kyle Jarvis.

Nkala should be nowhere near that list; utterly rubbish.

It's obviously Heath Streak

Heath Streak way ahead of all others. Eddo Brandes was great against England. Brighton Watambwa was one of the great losses to Zimbabwean cricket.

David Mutendera was quicker than brett lee at the world cup. its unfortunate that booze and the love of cheap girls and women destroyed his career

Interesting stats for his only test- bowled 14 overs in the first innings and didn't bowl in the second one? Can anyone enlighten us, there's a story there.
I think he's a coach at St John's. He's an excellent junior coach and players always improve under him. Coached Ed Byrom one on one when he was at junior school. Not too sure how a bowler produced a quality batsman, but he helped Eddie a lot.

"best fastest" = Henry Olonga hands down. Heath was medium fast.

Henry was an incredible athlete. He used to really steam in. He was erratic but he had a golden arm, and he was quick.

That was against NZ I believe. I remember watching the match on tv and wondering why Mutendera wasn't used much.
