Adam Huckle


Adam George Huckle is a Zimbabwean former international cricketer who played in eight Test matches and 19 One Day Internationals from 1997 to 1999 for the Zimbabwe national team.
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".
Huckle's father, Mike Huckle, played a single first-class match for Rhodesia in the 1960s.
