Fiedel Edwards had one of the best bowling spells ever in the fourth one dayer against New Zealand.
West Indies went into this match after having lost the first three matches of a five match one day series.
Shiv Chanderpaul, the West Indian captain, won the toss and decided to field first.
Ian Bradshaw bowled the first over which went for one run. Then came Edwards. He started with a maiden. He went for three runs in the next two overs and five more in the fourth. However, his fifth over was another maiden. So, Fiedel Edward's opening spell of five overs cost only eight runs.
In the eleventh over of the match, Bradshaw went for 17 runs. Butler conceded 22 in the next over. West Indies had implemented their second powerplay straight away after a very good first ten overs. However, they didn't have the second powerplay until the twentieth over.
Edwards bowled three of the five overs in the second power-play. He started with two maidens and conceded five runs of his third over. That made is overall figures 0/13 after eight overs.
New Zealand headed for a huge total with no other bowler being able to match Edwards.
Edwards was finally bowled in the fourty-eighth and the fiftieth overs. In the fourty-eighth, he conceded singles off the first four balls and two each in the last two. However, his last over went for just two runs.
So, in a total of 324 runs in fifty overs, Edwards conceded just 23 in ten overs. I think one leg bye was scored when Edwards was bowling. That means the fourty overs that Edwards didn't bowl went for three hundred runs.
This bowling performance didn't include any wicket. But the good thing about it was the deadly accuracy with with Edwards bowled. He didn't go for a single boundary in an innings full of big hits where at least eight balls went for six.
