Heath Hilton Streak (born March 16, 1974, Bulawayo) is a Zimbabwean cricketer. He made his test debut in Zimbabwe’s tour of Pakistan 1993/1994 making his mark by taking 8 wickets in the 2nd test at Rawalpindi (December 9-14, 1993). He won the Man of the series award in that series taking 22 wickets at an average of 13.54. He bettered his best bowling figures in 1995 when Pakistan toured Zimbabwe taking 6/90 in the first test at Harare.
In 2000/2001, he won 2 man of the series awards, first in Zimbabwe’s tour of England and then in Bangladesh’s tour of Zimbabwe.
He is the only Zimbabwean bowler to have taken over 100 test wickets and one of only 2 Zimbabwean bowlers to have taken over 100 ODI wickets (the other being Grant Flower). There is little doubt that he is the best bowler to have played for Zimbabwe.
In 1995/96, Streak played in the same Matabeleland team as his 46-year-old father Denis in the final of the Lonrho Logan Cup against Mashonaland Country Districts; this was the first instance of a father and son playing in the same first-class match for more than thirty years.
