Heath Streak's attempts to get some quiet ahead of this weekend's announcement of the ICC's investigation into allegations of racism inside the Zimbabwe board came unstuck when his boat overturned.

Streak was with his family in Binga, near Kariba, on a fishing trip when the houseboat he was on capsized in less than two minutes during heavy storms. He was with his pregnant wife, two-year-old daughter and some friends. All escaped without harm in smaller boats which were alongside.

Streak lost all his personal belongings in the incident, which happened on Wednesday, and was said to be trying to locate local divers in a bid to retrieve certain items from the bed of the lake.
