Bryan Colin Strang (born June 9, 1972, Bulawayo) is a former Zimbabwean cricketer who played in 26 Tests and 49 ODIs from 1995 to 2001. His older brother Paul Strang also played international cricket for Zimbabwe.
Strang was a left-arm medium bowler and due to his nagging accuracy was hard to get away in ODI cricket. This earned him a career economy rate of 4.13. His best bowling figures in ODI cricket of 6 for 20, made against Bangladesh in 1997 are a Zimbabwean record.
In 2001 he helped bowl Matabeleland out for a world record low score in first class cricket of 19 runs, taking 5 wickets for 6.
He played in last game for Zimbabwe in July 2001 and in 2002 he moved to South Africa due to political unrest. He's become a vocal critic of Zimbabwean cricket and during the 2003 World Cup he stated that Zimbabwe should be barred from hosting World Cup matches on moral grounds. As a result, when he attempted a comeback in 2003-04 the Zimbabwean Cricket Union banned him.
