Adam Huckle

Who is Adam Huckle?

Adam George Huckle is a former Zimbabwean cricketer who played in eight Tests and 19 ODIs from 1997 to 1999.

In his second Test in 1997, against New Zealand, Huckle took 11-255 in the match. As of 2013, this remains the only occasion when a Zimbabwean bowler has taken 11 wickets in a Test match. His aggressive appealing in the match led to a fine by referee Sidath Wettimuny for attempting to intimidate the umpire. He was filmed shepherding a dismissed batsman off the field with a well known two-word goodbye. When interrogated by the relevant cricketing body at a subsequent hearing, Huckle explained: "Well, we weren't playing netball".

Since leaving the international cricket scene, Huckle has played for Burwell Cricket Club in Cambridgeshire. He won the player of the year award for 2006.

Huckle now runs a plumbing business in Cambridgeshire in the UK.
