He is a good but not great boweler. He has claimed exile in the UK but his family are getting death threats in Zimbabwe via Mugabs thugs! He is so brave and though that he had to take a stand against Mugabe in the high profile Cricket World Cup whils the ICC (Internationa; Cricket Council)washed its hands of it in a disgusting way!
He and I hope tht the can return to Zimbabwe and play cricket again now that he ahs reited from the game aged 26. He is currently in the UK and doing media work for tv and radio on the England v Zimbabwe Test Match Series. He is also playing for lashings cricket club!
My point of this?
He is so brave and well done! Shame that he had to do it and lets all hope that Mugabe can be removed from power so the Henry can play cricket again for Zimbabwe!
