Adam Huckle Cricketer
Adam George Huckle (born 21 September 1971, Bulawayo) is a former Zimbabwean cricketer who played in 8 Tests and 19 ODIs from 1997 to 1999. In his second Test in 1997, against New Zealand, he took 11-255 in the match (6-109 and 5-146). http://content-uk. cricinfo. com/ci/engine/match/63765. html As of 27 April 2006, this remains the only occasion when a Zimbabwean bowler has taken 11 wickets in a Test cricket match. The best figures for a Zimbabwean in a Test innings are held by Paul Strang. His aggressive appealing in the match led to a fine by referee Sidath Wettimuny for attempting to intimidate the umpire. He was filmed shepherding a dismissed batsman off the field with a well known two-word goodbye. When interrogated by the relevant cricketing body at a subsequent hearing, Huckle explained: "Well, we weren't playing netball". Since leaving the international cricket scene, Huckle has played for Burwell Cricket Club in Cambridgeshire. He won the player of the year award for 2006. Adam now runs a plumbing business in Cambridgeshire in the UK, www. plumber-cambridge. co. uk.
