The fact he achieved it for Zimbabwe against Bangladesh means it has largely slipped under the radar.
It was a marvellous achievement.
Likewise, the massive strike by Brendan Taylor a few years ago to win the game against Bangladesh off the last ball was a stunner.

Nice clip, though I don’t understand/tolerate the first thing about cricket. There was a gem of an interview with the blind Zimbabwean cricket commentator Dean du Plessis on the BBC the other day – available on the iPlayer which should work, for radio, outside the UK… http://is.gd/2v3Yx (until Thurs 27 Aug only).
