Profile
Grant Flower was the younger of the Flower brothers who formed the backbone of Zimbabwe's
batting throughout the nineties. Grant Flower gained reputation as a dogged opening batsman with
an appetite for big runs. He made quite an impression at a very early age and was drafted into
Zimbabwe's national squad in no time. He played in his country's first ever Test match soon after the
1992 World Cup and was one among the few who impressed in that game with a fine fifty.

His finest moment came in 1995 when Pakistan toured Zimbabwe. He registered his first Test ton
and also converted it into a double, joining an elite list of batsmen to have achieved that feat. The
knock became sweeter as it helped Zimbabwe register their first ever Test win. He also saved his
best for Pakistan, scoring 3 of his 6 Test tons against them. Another highlight of his Test career was
his hundred in each innings against New Zealand in 1997. His ODI career was an impressive one too
as his consistency never dipped despite a shift to the middle order after opening for some time. His
stats would have made a better reading too if he had converted at least a few of his 9 innings when
he finished in the 'nervous nineties'. His tight left-arm spin came to the fore in the shorter formats and
his all-round contributions were of significant importance to the young team. His bowling action came
under scrutiny a few times but he continued on to produce some useful spells for Zimbabwe.
