Denis Hilton Streak (born 21 June 1949) is a Zimbabwean former first-class cricketer and the father of former Zimbabwean cricketer, Heath Streak. Apart from playing cricket, he also represented Zimbabwe at lawn bowls.[1]
He debuted for Rhodesia during the 1976-77 Currie Cup and toured England in 1985.[2] Streak played domestic cricket with Matabeleland and was 46 when he finally retired. He finished by playing in a Logan Cup final win, in the same side as his son.[2] After retiring, Streak briefly served as a Zimbabwean selector.
Streak's farm was seized in 2001 under a land reform policy and he ended up imprisoned for a short time for protesting the farm seizure.[3]
