11th Nov 1998 against India. -- There are some days when a particular player ignites, catches fire and burns all he comes into contact with -- and today, for Olonga, was apparently one of those.
As I actually know Henry Olonga and what really happened behind him quitting International cricket I admired him when he took a stand against a man who is up there with the likes of Hitler and I still admire him now and the work he does spreading the love on behalf of Zimbabwe.
Awesome bowling though I have had him bowl an over or 2 against me its scary as hell still managed to hit him for some runs though... haha
@Adeeis yes Olonga did win the match but (if i am not mistaken) I would say it was the confidence of Alistair Campbell to give him that crucial over that won the match coz olonga had already gone for nearly 30 runs in his only 2 or 3 overs he bowled in that match prior to that.
Reading his book at the moment. Brilliant read. Also he had Tendulkar out the ball before he got him out again, caught behind but he overstepped the line. Zimbabwe had a problem with this and so any player that got a batsman out off a no ball was fined $1000. Tendulkar was so angry after what happened that he set out to get his revenge and smashed an unbeaten 140 next time
enjoy the movement,team india looks cluless against him.

Was this before or after he was called for chucking and fixed his action?

Wasim got Tendulkar out in exactly the same manner (shortish in-cutters) in Canada in consecutive matches.
