ABOUT
Andy Flower is a former Zimbabwean professional cricketer who was born on April 28, 1968 in Cape
Town (Cape Province), South Africa. He played as wicketkeeper-batsman for them and is considered to
be one of the greatest players Zimbabwe has ever produced.
Debut
Flower made his international debut for Zimbabwe against Sri Lanka during the 1992 Cricket World
Cup. He played a fine knock of 115* in that match but it went in vain as Zimbabwe lost that match by 3
wickets.
On October 18, during India’s tour of Zimbabwe, Flower made his debut in the only test match played
at Harare. He scored a fifty in the first innings and didn't get to bat much in the second innings of the
drawn Test. His brother Grant Flower also made his Test debut in the same match.
Rise to glory
2001 was the best year of his entire career in which with help of his immense ability to play spin, Flower
amassed a massive 540 runs during the 2000-01 Test series against India which also included his career
best inning of 232* during the second test match at Nagpur.
Later in that year, Flower also played beautiful knocks of 142 and 199* in the first Test match against
South Africa at the Harare Sports Club.
