touch short on the legs, gets inside that delivery, flicks it off his hips and whips it away to deep backward square leg
Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe, 1st ODI at Dhaka, Jan 19 2009 - Match Result
The Zimbabwe team mates are out of their seats racing onto the field to embrace Raymond Price who has played a major part in this win.
A huge win for Zimbabwe who now take a 1-0 lead in this 3-match series.
A low scoring affair but it did end in a lot of excitement for a very small crowd.
Bangladesh has to look at their batting tactics, once again some poor shot selections has left them with mud in their faces. Their bowling was good, but the bowlers just did not have enough runs to play with.
For Zimbabwe, this will be a huge boost in confidence.
So with Price being awarded the Man of the Match award we say good night until Wednesday for the 2nd ODI
Shuffles down the pitch, swings that fullish ball across the line, beating a diving midwicket, and swings the game back towards Zimbabwe
Now we are down to the last over, 6 runs needed off six balls, and two wickets by Bangladesh. Again discussions about the bowler and Nazmul Hossain is given the task of winning it for Bangladesh
another short one, this one does not get up but the batsman is ducking anyway, another valuable dot
short, bouncer, slashes a cut at it, but that was high, keeper takes, gives the bowler a clap, but lucky to get away with theheight on that ball
wicket is now needed as Prices dabs towards mid-on, quick run taken, throw is wide, but replay shows him home anyway
leg side, touch short, worked off the hips to the on side, target getting closer
full on the off, stroked to the off, wide of mid-off who gets across but cant save the single
gets on the back foot to a shortish ball, punched wide of point who dives across gathers on his hands and knees
10 runs now off 12 balls, still anyone's game and the tie is also a possibility. Four five players now discussing who is to bowl, Ruben is called and given the ball
a good over from Shakib, apart from the wide, brings an end to his 10 over spell, 3/11, thats some bowling
gets a big stride in to cover the turn and bounce, defends to the bowler
Almost on the front foot as Shakib bowls, gets one that turns and bounces, but using the outside half of the bat he keeps that out
Get well forward to this one, was in line till it gripped and turned away beating the outside edge, very close
Once again he is well forward all defensive, looks like he wants to play this ast over out
All defensive from Price, gets well forward and smothers
Oh, pressure on Shakib as well, fires one in well wide down the leg side
Now who will bowl, 11 needed off 18 balls, is this match swinging back towards Zimbabwe. Shakib it is, his last over, will they take him on
flighted on the off, drives firmly towards mid-off, does not beat him
short, almost a long hop, punched down the ground towards long on
flighted on the off, goes over the top, clears the inner ring at mid-off, races back dives and saves the boundary
leg side again, worked off the legs off the back foot, easy run taken
good looking drive into the cover area, good scrambled bit of fielding saves three runs
