The game of cricket is very popular all over the world. This is rarely seen on the cricket field when pairs of two brothers play in a match. But this has happened only once in the history of cricket when the pair of three brothers came to play in the playing XI of the same team. This was amazing in the test match played between Zimbabwe and New Zealand in Harare.
In this match, not one or two, but the pair of three brothers played for the same team. Grant Flower and his brother Andy Flower, Paul Strang, and his brothers Brian Strang, John Rainey, and Gavin Rainey. All of them played together in the playing XI for Zimbabwe.
In the Test match against New Zealand, Grant opened the innings with Gavin Rennie. While Andy Flower landed at number three. Gavin's brother John Rennie bowled and both Paul and Brian Strang were bowling all-rounders. Grant Flower played an innings of 104 runs.
Zimbabwe's team was bundled out for 298 runs in the first innings. At the same time, the New Zealand team could not do anything special in the first innings and could score 207 runs. Second innings Zimbabwe declared on 311/9. New Zealand got a target of 403 runs to win. But the Kiwi team had lost 8 wickets after making 304 runs and the match ended in a draw.
