The year was 2001, Shaun Pollock-led South African side visited Zimbabwe for a 3-Test series. The Proteas were right on the money, piling up 600 runs in the first innings. Relatively new to the scenario, the onus was on Raymond Price to bail the hosts out of trouble, but a double century from Gary Kristen and centuries from Jacques Kallis and Herschelle Gibbs blocked Price’s road-ins.

The spinner bowled 42 overs only to return with figures of 0/192. His pitched up deliveries found the middle of the willow while his flight failed to deceive the opposition batsman. He gave away 18 boundaries and 9 sixes. Zimbabwe were floored by 9 wickets and Price went wicket-less throughout the course of play.

Price failed to break the jinx in the second innings; he bowled just 3 overs giving away 19 runs. South Africa won the series 1-0, with the second Test match resulting in a draw.
