Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Douglas Hondo attained International acclaim in 2002 with 15 wickets from 5 ODIs including back-to-back four-fors in the Champions Trophy. He played 9 Tests, where he thrived, mostly due to his ability to swing both ways. At Chester-le-Street, he bowled an inspiring spell, removing Mark Butcher, Robert Key, and Nasser Hussain in a space of 10 balls. His finest moment, however, came in a series against Bangladesh when he routed the hosts with 6 for 59. Unfortunately, he lacked the pace to bother quality batsmen at the highest level.
His career ended prematurely after suffering a series of injuries and later he walked out after a row with the board that demanded he shave his dreadlocks. Hondo retired from both international and first class cricket thereafter and has subsequently played cricket in both Australia and England.
To compliment his playing skills, Hondo is an experienced and practicing Cricket Australia Level 3 coach who was fast-tracked into the national bowling coach role in 2008 and is seen as a potential Zimbabwe coach for the future. Hondo is now seeking a return to the UK for a player/coach role.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Churchill Boys High School in Harare is becoming to Zimbabwean Test cricket what Eton College once was to British Prime Ministers. In September 2001, Douglas Hondo became Churchill's third Test debutant in as many matches, following in the footsteps of Tatenda Taibu and Hamilton Masakadza. A handy swing bowler, capable of movement both ways off the pitch, Hondo benefited from a spell at Dennis Lillee's pace-bowling academy in Chennai, and has also played club cricket in England and Australia. He was plucked from a season with Port Adelaide to join the national side in India in March 2002, and immediately took four wickets in the third ODI to win the Man of the Match award; this was followed later that year by two four-wicket hauls in the Champions Trophy, against India and England. In his most recent Test match he took six wickets in an innings against Bangladesh. In the best tailend tradition he rates himself as a batsman - and he has made some big scores in his time - but he is strictly a No. 11 for his club, Universals. Injuries, ranging from intercostal muscles to missing toenails, have hindered his development, but he is credited with a good temperament and is keen to succeed. One of the most laidback of individuals, he hardly fits the traditional image of a pace bowler. His future is now in serious doubt after doctors have given him a pessimistic diagnosis of a stress fracture in his back, and his comeback was barely underway when he walked out after a row over a board demand that he shave his dreadlocks.
