Zimbabwe’s former captain wicket-keeper batsman Andy Flower made history by becoming the first Zimbabwean cricketer to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame. Flower who played 63 tests and 231 ODIS for Zimbabwe was not only recognised for his almost super human efforts with the bat in a team which at best punched above their weight, but was also recognised as one of England’s most successful coaches as well.

From a very young age, Tatenda Taibu’s destiny was to lead. Small in stature, but with the heart of a lion, it came as no surprise when he became the vice captain at the age of 19 and then became Zimbabwe’s first black captain, as well as the youngest captain in the history of test cricket.

(Please note that this is a recording from the archives, so some of his future plans like his roll as convened of selectors has come to an end.) A fascinating listen all the same.
