Not surprised, everyone saw it coming.

But he was my favourite zimbabwean cricketer of all time.

he kept it interesting.

At his peak around 2003 he could well have been our best non-flower batsman.

The only player in the country still playing who has got a test century vs a test team that WASNT Bangladesh (unless Hamilton did?).

And regardlss of the damage done- you gotta be impressed at his style.

Im sure everyone at one stage wishes they could burn down a former workplace- this guy did it!!

Yes. Hammy did -- against West Indies in 2002. Well, so long Gamba -- that's his nickname by teammates, because of his willingness to stand up for everybody and not taking s**t from anyone

It was a time he was averaging around 33 in tests which i believe would put him on the same level as Brendan Taylor, if he could only keep it up.

He ripped apart Australia A when we played them.

It all went downhill after Glenn Mcgrath split his head open- 2nd time it happened to him.

And above all....ill never forget his chimp outs, willing to fight....

He hated getting LBWed.

Hammie got a ton on debut v WIndies.
