This has NEVER happened before in cricket history, making it a truly unique event.
But Wait, There’s More!
The same series saw another crazy sibling feat! In the preceding Test match, Zimbabwe fielded THREE sets of brothers:
- Andy & Grant Flower (again!)
- Paul & Brian Strang (again!)
- Gavin & John Rennie (again!)
Interestingly, Guy Whittall was also in the playing XI, while his cousin Andy Whittall was the 12th man. That Test match ended in a draw, with Grant Flower bagging a well-deserved Player of the Match award for scoring centuries in BOTH innings!
The 1997 Zimbabwe-New Zealand series will forever be etched in cricket history for featuring a team with multiple brother pairings.
