Gregory Mark Strydom (born 26 March 1984 in Pretoria) is a Zimbabwean cricketer. He has played four ODIs for Zimbabwe in 2006.
Strydom is an aggressive right-handed middle order batsman and is a clean hitter of the ball.
In 2003-04, playing for Matabeleland, he scored 128 and 104 in a game against Manicaland which included 16 sixes. Only Andrew Symonds and Jim Stewart have hit more sixes in a first class match. Against the same opponent just three weeks earlier he scored a career best 216.
He has however struggled to succeed in international cricket, making just one half century in his 12 ODIs and failing to score in double figures in seven of them.
Famous quotes containing the word gregory:
“There’s something like a line of gold thread running through a man’s words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself. It’s another thing, though, to hold up that cloth for inspection.”
—John Gregory Brown (20th century)
