Profile
A useful allrounder from Matabeleland, Keith Dabengwa is a left-hand batsman and bowls orthodox left-arm spin. He learned his cricket at Baines Junior and Milton High School in Bulawayo, and good league performances earned him a place at the CFX Academy in 2001. Cheerful and unassuming, he nevertheless works very hard at his game, as was shown by his award as the Student of the Year at the Academy. Since then he has represented Matabeleland regularly but without creating headlines until hitting a remarkable 161 against Midlands in 2004-05. His developing allround talents earned him a place in the national squad the following season and he made his debut against New Zealand at Bulawayo but struggled to make an impression in a struggling side. He was originally a bowler who could bat, but his flighted spinners have rarely earned him much success. As a batsman he is steady but can indulged in some powerful leg-side hits when in the mood. Perhaps lack of confidence is responsible for his failure as yet to fulfil his undoubted allround potential. Small and slight in build, he is an athletic fielder.
John Ward June 2006
