Gavin Rennie

Gavin James Rennie (born 12 January 1976) is a former Zimbabwean cricketer who played in 23 Test matches and 40 One Day Internationals from 1996 to 2003. He was a left-hand top-order batsman and slow left-arm orthodox bowler although his bowling was mainly restricted to first class cricket. His older brother John also played for Zimbabwe and in 1996–97 against Pakistan, history was made when the two played together along with the Strang and Flower brothers. It was the first time that three sets of brothers had played together in a game. Rennie had a good start to his Test career, scoring half centuries in each of his first four Tests during 1997–98. He never scored a Test hundred and instead had to settle with a highest score of 93, made against New Zealand in 2000. Rennie holds the record for the most Test matches in a complete career (23) where a batsman batted twice in every match. Rennie and Grant Flower set the record for the highest 2nd wicket partnership for Zimbabwe in ODI cricket (150)
