The Unique Record in Cricket History! When 4 Brothers Pairs From The Same Team Entered The Field. Buckle up cricket fans, because we’re about to revisit a crazy record from 1997!

It involves a Zimbabwe vs New Zealand ODI match in Harare, and get this – the Zimbabwean team had FOUR sets of brothers playing together!

  • Andy & Grant Flower
  • Paul & Brian Strang
  • Gavin & John Rennie
  • Guy & Andy Whittall (cousins)

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.
