Zimbabwe
On the same day that the New Zealand government compensated New Zealand Cricket for stopping the Zimbabwean team from touring New Zealand, Zimbabwe proved that it is not quite dead as a cricket force with a spectacular win against Bangladesh. With one ball left in an ODI between the two sides Zimbabwe needed five runs, so Brendan Taylor battered Mashrafe Mortaza for six. Unlike many recent matches which have suffered under excessive hyperbole, this one really did live up to the word spectacular. How else could you describe a game where the match report states a player "slammed a one-handed six high over midwicket for four"?

What a game...would love to see the replay. Unfortunately I don't think there was much tv coverage if at all. Good on Zimbabwe but Bangladesh are going one step ahead and two steps back losing to a third string Zimbabwe team.
