	Heath Streak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Heath Hilton Streak (born March 16, 1974, Bulawayo) is a Zimbabwean cricketer.
		There is little doubt that he is the best bowler to have played for Zimbabwe, with the ability to extract seam movement at a lively pace on even the deadest of wickets.
		In 1995/96, Streak played in the same Matabeleland team as his 46-year-old father Denis in the final of the Lonrho Logan Cup against Mashonaland Country Districts; this was the first instance of a father and son playing in the same first-class match for more than thirty years.

		Re-instating Streak as captain has been a key demand of the rebels ever since the pace bowler sparked the dispute by complaining about the composition of the selection panel.
		Streak was unhappy with the lack of cricket experience among some members of the selection panel and called for changes, his comments coming against a backdrop of claims the team was being chosen on the basis of a racial quota system rather than ability.
		Chingoka showed a copy of a letter he said Streak had faxed to the ZCU on March 25 in which the fast bowler threatened to resign if his conditions were not met.
