RE-RELEASE - The Making of a 130km/h Quick - Steve Chimhamhiwa

Now that the BBL season and the National Men’s Cricket team have wrapped up another local tour, we revisit guest Zimbabwean fast bowler Steve Chimhamhiwa who once took on Babar Azam (BBL - Sydney Sixers) when representing Zimbabwe in the ICC U19 World Cup.

Now ripping it up on suburban wickets in Melbourne, Zimbabwean fast bowler Steve Chimhamhiwa returns to the spotlight with a story worth revisiting as the Australian men’s domestic cricket season comes to a close.

Once firing down 130+ km/h thunderbolts on the international stage, Steve opens up about his journey through Zimbabwean junior cricket, the coaches who shaped him, and the realities of chasing the dream as a young fast bowler. Now plying his trade in the Box Hill Reporter District Cricket Association, he’s balancing local cricket, life in Australia, and studying engineering—again, in a second country.

Steve reflects on the move that reignited his love for the game, the lessons learned along the way, and the resilience it takes to start over while still competing hard. And yes… he tells the full story of his international debut—including dismissing future Pakistan captain and BBL superstar Babar Azam before the world truly knew his name.

With an infectious laugh and plenty of fast-bowling yarns, this episode blends cricket insight, migration stories, personal growth, and pure love for the game—making it the perfect listen as another National Men’s cricket season wraps up.
