A steady wobbler of a seam bowler, Gary Brent has had a stop-start international career. He made a nervous debut as a 20-year-old on the 1996-97 Pakistan tour, and had to wait another three years before earning a regular slot in Zimbabwe's one-day team. His bowling is unpretentious with a useful inswinger, and an excellent slower ball; his batting is as agricultural as his farming background would suggest, but he is occasionally pushed up the order in pursuit of quick runs. He was overlooked for the 2003 World Cup and then failed to make an impact in the NatWest Series in England. He did however make the squad for the 2003-04 tour to Australia. Brent was one of the 15 rebel players whose dispute with the Zimbabwe board lead to their dismissal in 2004. It seemed that this had brought his international career to an end, but he received an unexpected recall during the Champions Trophy in India in 2006-07, as a replacement for Terry Duffin.
