00:30It's not often that bowlers dominate, particularly bowlers who don't come to the fore too often, and Henry Olonga surprised
00:37Sachin one day with some tremendous pace and had him fending and caught in the galley, and Sachin was absolutely
00:43livid. He got a very low score, it might have even been, but it was a very, very, very ungainly
00:49shot, and this, you know, Henry Olonga obviously delighted, all the Zimbabweans were all over the place.
00:57The unfortunate thing for them is that they had to play him again in the final, and I think he'd
01:01really set his sights on Henry Olonga, and he went after him and had a little bit of luck, just
01:07one piece of luck, which, you know, he went to the ball so hard, it went for six over, just
01:12over third man's head, just lobbed over.
01:15And after that, poor old Henry, I mean, he didn't know what it hit him, he was absolutely batted into
01:20the ground, and I think Sachin had a point to prove, and it's amazing when a batsman has that sort
01:27of scenario, and that's where you see,
01:29he seems a mild man at times, but when he gets that steely glint in his eye, he can be
01:35as ruthless as anybody.
01:37If I remember correctly, that's when Henry Olonga bowled really quick, and he knocked Sachin over a couple of times,
01:42or certainly once, in what for Sachin would probably be an embarrassing fashion,
01:48and it was really interesting, other than seeing Henry bowled quick, or the best batsman in the world, it was
01:56very interesting to see Sachin come back from that,
01:59and almost be determined to teach Henry and these cocky little Zimbabweans a lesson, and he did exactly that, and
02:07he spanked us all over the place, in an amazing display,
02:11of which there are only a couple of people that can bat like that, and he's one of them.
02:15My initial goal was to try and bow a while up front, try and get a couple of breakthroughs, you
02:22know, they're about a long way down.
02:24There wasn't just Tendulkar to contend with, there was also Ganguly and Dravid, and they have a decent top order,
02:32so my initial goal was to get a breakthrough, and I was lucky enough to get two, and then three.
02:38Well, Henry, what can I say? One day it's your day, the next it's not. That is the beauty of
02:43this game.
02:44Our cricket classic today could well be called the Tendulkar vs. Olanga contest.
02:48We feature the last two matches from the Champions Trophy played in 1998, between Zimbabwe and India, who met in
02:55the final.
02:56Both these teams beat Sri Lanka twice. Yes, Sri Lanka failed to win even a single game in this event.
03:02As Barry and Andy said, Henry was bowling quick. So let's see what happened.
03:06In the last preliminary match, Zimbabwe lost the toss and were put into bat by Ajay Jadeja.
03:11They made 205 for 7, a modest total.
03:14And Leicester Campbell, the only man to pass 30, was 83 not out, so India need 206 at 4.12
03:21per over.
03:22So here's the Indian reply.
03:24In the commentary box, Ravi Shastri and Michael Holding, Henry Olanga is bowling to Saurav Ganguly.
03:30So Olanga on his way now to Ganguly.
03:35Wrapped on the pass and he's gone.
03:37What a start here for Henry Olanga.
03:40We said he could be pretty nippy.
03:43That trapped Ganguly plum in front.
03:46Steve Dunn had no hesitation in lifting the figure.
03:48And Henry Olanga struck with his very first delivery.
03:54Well, at last something for the Zimbabwean supporters to get up and cheer about.
03:59Henry Olanga.
04:00I think the only problem is whether this ball actually pitched in line with the stumps.
04:04Because it certainly would have hit the stumps.
04:06Must have been some doubt exactly where the ball pitched.
04:10Sompire Steve Dunn had no doubt that it pitched in line.
04:13It's 10 for 1.
04:19Left-hander facing up to a right-handed bowler coming over the wicket.
04:23If you are hit in line with mid-stump and the ball is not coming back into you as a
04:26left-hander.
04:27You'll see this ball actually going away from the left-hander.
04:30Going towards the slips.
04:31And you can see that he has been hit in line with mid-stump there.
04:40Rahul Javid now is a new man who's come out.
04:42He's had a good look at the Zimbabwe bowling.
04:44On the tour of Zimbabwe recently, got 100 in the test match in the first innings.
04:4940-odd in the second.
05:12It's preferred to for test matches.
05:17And Ravid's off the mark here.
05:23So that will get Tendul Khan's strike.
05:26So he's already hit a couple of boundaries, Tendul Khan.
05:30This should be a good contest.
05:34Lunga is going to charge in.
05:47Well, that's a tribute to the young man that he's worked on his game.
05:50It can be so discouraging when very early on in your career you're told to get your action right.
06:01So two runs and a wicket in that over for Henry Olunga.
06:0412 for one.
06:11Now that's exactly the case Michael Holding was making in the previous over.
06:15One area where he has to improve, Rahul Javid, is try to work the ball into the gaps.
06:19There's nothing wrong with his timing, his technique.
06:22It's the placement that he's got to work on.
06:30That's nicely timed.
06:33And good pace of fielding will keep the batsman down to one.
06:40Seems like if the captain Alistair Campbell isn't on the field, that was Ebon's doing a bit of work there
06:46as a 12th man.
06:49That'll be wide.
06:53Just striving for that extra yard and pace here.
06:56Henry Olunga is losing control.
07:03Edged and taken.
07:06So Olunga has struck again.
07:08That's the second wicket for Zimbabwe.
07:10Drabbit dismissed.
07:16And India now 19 for two.
07:25Well, Henry Olunga will be a happy man.
07:28Rahul Javid looking to drive on the rise, taking the outside edge and Johnson taking the catch in the slips.
07:36India in a bit of bother here now.
07:38It's 19 for two.
07:44It'll be a pretty awkward customer on a bouncy track.
07:48The Indian captain has come out of the crease for this game, Jadeja.
07:56And a slower delivery to greet him.
08:00Well, he's not short of confidence, Henry Olunga.
08:07Michael just watching Henry Olunga.
08:10He obviously has done a lot of work on his action.
08:12But pace-wise, it looks pretty good.
08:20Oh, that's a very good delivery.
08:22Jadeja will get off the mark with four.
08:24But he was never in control of that shot.
08:26An attempted yorker from Olunga.
08:33That's 23 for two.
08:36So that is the first chapter.
08:38Olunga 2, India nil.
08:39Join us for chapter two after the break.
08:42Welcome back now for chapter two in the Tendulkar versus Olunga contest.
08:45India are 19 for two.
08:47Travit and Ganguly back in the pavilion.
08:49But Sachin Tendulkar is still there.
08:50So no problem.
08:51Henry Olunga is bowling the third over.
08:58So 25 for two here.
08:59Olunga is continuing.
09:01And to continue in the commentary box,
09:02it'll be Tony Gregg and Geoffrey Boycott.
09:08Tendulkar, best player.
09:12Oh, shot.
09:16Yes, that's nicely placed and some good timing there as well.
09:20On the up, they're coming back to the third two.
09:21This is good running.
09:22Good positive running between these two.
09:34Eyes out.
09:35Yes.
09:35No ball called.
09:37Well, that was really lucky.
09:39Very lucky indeed.
09:41No ball called.
09:42He'd be very upset about that.
09:43He's got the man out that they're all after.
09:46Big deflection.
09:47I don't think it'll change the shot at all.
09:49That went straight through to the keeper.
09:51And look at him.
09:54Well, he's nice and pumped up.
09:55Yeah, he's way over the line.
09:57No doubt about that.
09:59Well, it's a beautiful delivery.
10:00Just sort of left him a bit.
10:02And now, tiny little bit of bounce.
10:05Caught Tendulkar hitting on the up.
10:09There it is again.
10:11Big nick.
10:11His head goes around hops.
10:13That's the end of that.
10:13And then he looks up and all of a sudden he sees some umpires on there.
10:16Oh, and this one in the air.
10:18That's it.
10:18All over.
10:19Tendulkar's out.
10:20Tendulkar's out.
10:20That's great bowling.
10:21Great bowling.
10:23He's had it over Tendulkar this evening.
10:25He played two streaky shots when he first came in.
10:28One past second slip.
10:29He played a streaky drive through the offside in the air.
10:33He nicked a no ball.
10:34And now he's bob one in the air on the offside.
10:37These Zimbabweans are turning out to be pretty tough to beat.
10:41Well, I thought that was a fantastic delivery.
10:43Just when Sashin thought he got away with the nick and the no ball.
10:47Then he whacks it in short right at him.
10:50Just surprises him.
10:51He's looking to get forward, I think, Sashin.
10:53And that's a little cuckoo to catch.
10:55What a big wicket.
10:58The well-bowled lad.
11:00Really was.
11:0029 for three.
11:03Yes, Henry.
11:04Really well done.
11:05Three for 13.
11:06And what are three?
11:07Dravet, Ganguly, and the prize wicket of Sachin Tendulkar.
11:10India, 29 for three.
11:12Olanga, three.
11:13India, nil.
11:14Henry was named man of the match.
11:16Zimbabwe won by 13 runs.
11:18From 29 for three, there was no way back for India.
11:20A valiant effort by Robin Singh with 49 not out.
11:24Henry Olanga later got Jadeja his four wickets, finally costing 46.
11:28We'll be back soon with the rematch when Sachin gets his revenge on the cocky Zimbabweans.
11:33But before the break, a final word from Ranjit Fernando and Henry Olanga.
11:37See, I vividly remember that match because we saw Henry Olanga after getting these wickets
11:44off the Indians, including Sachin Anganguli, strutting around.
11:49And I mean, you couldn't blame him.
11:51He was young, sort of was very, very worked up in getting those wickets.
11:59And sort of, I think the Zimbabweans enjoyed that victory against India.
12:06And it was all Henry Olanga's day and the Indians, I think, were a very, sort of, dejected side.
12:14After all, Zimbabwe was not the type of side they would have wanted to have lost to at that stage.
12:51It was a good day, that happened to be the good day of the two days.
12:57Basically got the top order out quite cheaply and that was a good season for me in 98.
13:02I was bowling quick, I was strong and I happened to get such enough out with the no ball and
13:08then I was so insensitive with myself that I came back and gave him a great ball that
13:12bounced a little and caught the shoulder of his bat and looped to point I think.
13:17Murray Goodwin was still playing in the side and he caught it at the time.
13:20For some reason this made Mr. Tinduka very very angry and in the next game he went absolutely
13:26ballistic.
13:27That was the final.
13:28Then came the final and the rematch which everyone was looking forward to.
13:38So we were all looking forward to, Henry Olonga sort of came in and there were some very good
13:44short deliveries to Sachin, believing that there was some sort of weakness in the man.
13:52And Sachin, the modest cricketer he was, I think acknowledged some of those short ones
13:57and then went on to play one of those classic innings.
14:01I mean the 100 was just out of this world, just going to show that if you rile someone
14:05like him, you're doing it at your period.
14:09Well I kind of felt that it was going to be a tough game and getting 200, just over 200,
14:15I don't know what we got, I think it was 220 or 218 somewhere there.
14:19I kind of felt that I knew that we had our backs against the wall and they were going to
14:22come hard at us.
14:23And obviously it was this big looming battle between Olonga and Tundalka and he came hard.
