Bangladesh Tour of Zimbabwe 2009 (5 ODIs)

[Howsie]

Tamin's going after Waller here 6, 6, 4 so far. He's moved onto 68 already.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

You should just see the shots he's hitting, he's hitting them beautifully. Two massive sixes of Ray Price so far.


163 to win from 25, 8 wickets in hand. I reckon they can do it.

Oh dear, another 7 ball over. 162 needed from 25.

 

[Howsie]

One massive six of Ray Price so far

Hopefully Tamin can go on here, he's made far too many scores of around 60-80. Cricinfo's commentry is really praising this innings though, wish it was on tv over here.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Right, one of those must have been off Waller


It's bee terrific. He's going hard at everything, and when he connects...wow. Raqibul supporting him well, need to keep this going. Mahmadullah, Shakid, Mushfiqur, Naeem still to come. 154 from 23 overs. About 7 an over needed.

ZoraxDoom added 11 Minutes and 16 Seconds later...

Whoa, Tamim smashes a short and wide ball straight down the ground off the backfoot, it hits the stumps at the non-strikers end, and still goes through down to long-on. He has real power.


139 needed from 20. Bangladesh are ahead of Zim at this stage.

 

[Howsie]

Yay, Tamin's second ODI century. He needs to go on now though.

Howsie added 1 Minutes and 4 Seconds later...

Jumped the gun

 

[ZoraxDoom]

He has it now though! Great knock.


119 to win from 90 balls. 8 wickets in hand. You gotta back Bangladesh from here. If they keep their cool, this is their match to lose.

 

[Howsie]

Finally

 

[ZoraxDoom]

And he celebrates with a big six off Masakadza. Beautifully hit. Great shot.

 

[ajdude]

Imagine if Tamim makes 195 or something. :o

 

[ZoraxDoom]

He's well on his way. Six more! And that was so nearly out too!

 

[Howsie]

He's just making up for the time it took to get to the 100

Fantastic batting though. Can't see him making 195 though

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Bah, Price strikes, Raqibul out. 100 from 82 balls needed. Price celebrates like a fast bowler who just got Tendulkar out for a first ball duck. It is a much needed wicket though, and this is a must-win game for Zimbabwe.

 

[Howsie]

Bangladesh have made a fantastic start, looking at Tamin to make a big one here.

Hehehe.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

The legend-in-the-making that is Shakib Al Hasan is in the middle now. Zimbabwe will have him marked as a dangerman for sure. He's a destructive player, but he will give them plenty of chances...

Ray Price is loving it, how much emotion do you want?
