Bangladesh Tour of Zimbabwe 2009 (5 ODIs)

Nice shot. A sweep shot with a huge backlift. Risky, but it's four for Shakib. 94 from 78 balls.
 
Deserves what he gets, he's actually a very good bowler.
He's a quality bowler. Doesn't spin it huge, doesn't have a strange action, not a lot of variations. Just very clever and very disciplined. Was poor in the first two ODIs (Although unlucky as well in the second), but has bowled well last game and this one. Very clever spinner, has that one-step runup as a variation too.



HUUUUUGGGGEEEE six from Shakib! And that''s just his 4th ball too. Slog sweeps Utseya out of the ground. Wow, this match sure has had some brilliant batting. Coventry, then Tamim and now Shakib...
 
Oh, definately, just thought it was important to point out. He definately puts a...price on his scalps. ;)
He can be costly, but his overs are very valuable...


CHIGUMBURA DROPS SHAKIB!!! Another attempt at a big shot, ball goes MILES in the air, Elton drops it running back. 83 off 72 needed now.


No wait, it's Tamim who was dropped! Elton had made his ground too, was just standing their and missed it.


4 more for Shakib/Tamim. Can't tell who is who now, damnit! It's Tamim. He's on 123 now.

He has a pretty good record over the last year (he hasn't played too many top teams though) an average of something like 20 I think.
 
77 needed from 66, and Shaq slogs a four. He loves that slog sweep!

Edged and another four. Zimbabwe are bleeding runs, Tamim moves to 128...

And there he goes! Shaq holes out going for another big slog over the legside! Masakdza's bowling, Waller holds the catch. 246/4. Bangla still have the batting powerplay, little over a run a ball needed, Tamim still out there. This is tight.
 
If Tamin gets out this game will get very interesting.
 
Chaos! Rahim calls for a single that was never there, Tamim well out of his crease, throw is wayward and they get the run anyways. Gotta love a tight match between two sides who field like we would...

Tamim's now got the highest score of his ODI career - 131. Well played lad.
 
:doh

Eughhh, gawd. That would of been stupid.

Howsie added 0 Minutes and 53 Seconds later...

Right, I'm off guys, Liverpool's starting. I'm tipping Zimbabwe to hold on by about 5 runs.

Pffft soccer :p

Catch ya later.
