Querl made his first-class cricket debut against the Southern Rocks for Matabeleland Tuskers and took an astonishing 9 wickets on debut. In the second first-class match, Querl took an unbelievable 9 wickets for 39 runs. Though the record number of wickets from a player's debut two first-class matches are held by Frank Fee of Ireland (26), there are a few more who have done much more better than Glen. He had taken those 18 wickets for just 140 runs. Admittedly Glenn's feat was achieved against teams weakened by the loss of their international players, but the amazingly small cost of these wickets makes it still a very special feat. The Mashonaland batsmen in particular were quite unable to handle him effectively when his swing was combined with immaculate line and length.[3]
