Waddington Mwayenga?

That's very close, but not quite the person. They did play a lot of age-group cricket together, though. :)

Is it his brother Allan? If it is, I can't believe he has gone out of Zim and made a career in US, given that he was arrested on fraud and money swindling charges...

Here's maehara's article on that: http://sandbox.zimcricketnews.com/node/2163

Well, not that close. But they are of the same age (Waddington and Mr X, that is), went to the same school, enjoyed some success at age-group level for Zim together...

Yes, that's the man. He opened the bowling for Zim U-19s along with Waddington in the 2001/02 WC in NZ. What a team that was with Taibu, Hami, Taylor, Choppa, Sean Ervine, Matsi, Elton. According to his LinkedIn profile Alfred graduated from the University of the Western Cape a few years ago and has recently moved to the US to take up a job in Baltimore.

Andy Durham (supposedly the future Heath Streak) was also in the team at the Under 19 World Cup.

I seem to remember a Cricinfo article by John Ward about "Andy Durham, the future of Zimbabwe cricket" or "A future star of Zim cricket", but I can't find it. So maybe memory fails me or it's vanished into a black hole ...

And Googly's favourite, Mr Brundle, was also there.
