The piece that was reproduced from the book is extraordinary. Thank you so much for your time on the articles Martin.

Divine intervention or not, it's an incredible tale. Can a greater consequence have ever rested on the outcome of a cricket match? Another tour de force, Martin!

That chapter is great i'll be ordering a copy of this book when i get home. It is an interesting event and I'm sure unless you knew what was going on in Zimbabwe at the time, the outside world has no clue what could have happened to him at the time.

Amazing chapter. Wow. Talk about a meaningful match....

And we give thugs like Bvute a voice at the ICC table. Disgraceful.

Great stuff, Martin.

Am I right in saying that Andre (former staff member) once conducted an interview with Henry? Is there still a link to that?

Henry is a fantastic bloke - was very co-operative for the interview and gave some real depth with his answers. Because of his stance in the 2003 WC, sometimes his cricket ability was underestimated - was certainly a very capable fast bowler.

Good cricketer and even better human being - glad to see he is enjoying life and making the most of his opportunities. Only deserves good things.

That first chapter is gripping.

Would love to get a copy of the book, certainly would be an interesting read. And is Olonga playing in Zimbabwe's new domestic set-up?

Henry is alive and well and living in West London but he won't go back to Zim if for no other reason than he's currently effectively stateless, as the Zim authorities won't even consider renewing his passport unless he goes back there to do it in person which, understandably, he has no intention of doing at the moment.
