	Cricinfo - Grant Flower - a short biography
		Grant is the youngest son (he is followed by a daughter) of Bill Flower, himself a fine cricketer in the past and now one of Zimbabwe's leading schoolboy coaches.
		Grant himself says that those who feel that this match was `fixed', in view of the bribery allegations that were to follow, should have seen just what the Pakistani bowlers were doing with the ball that morning.
		Grant feels that there are plenty of good players in Zimbabwe who have all the talent required for success at Test level, but haven't yet worked out their games; they don't know what their best shots are and so try to play too many.

		Grant was strengthening his legs and Andy his shoulders.

		Grant, who now holds the record for the highest number of appearances for Zimbabwe, carried on his fine left arm spin bowling from the previous match against India to keep a tight leash on the Aussies.
		And though, Flower did manage to control the flow of runs, it was not entirely due to the bite in his bowling but largely due to the circumspection of Michael Bevan, struggling to recover his lost form and bearings.
		Flower who is a competent fielder with a safe pair of hands, did some good work in the field besides running out Michael Clarke towards the end of the Aussie innings.
