CWC Day 26 Thread - Bangladesh V South Africa

KevIRL

After a couple of days rest, the CWC is back with a eh *bang*

Can only see a handy enough win for South Africa here, unless the rain plays a part.

Thoughts?

Updates here later today

Zeuz

Should be a comfortable for us South Africans, but a few early wickets could casue some pressure onto the batsman leading to another Srilanka style match.. but only time will tell, and we will have to wait it out and see

hopefully Kallis as strong as he is picks up his strike rate, leaving him and teammates with more confidence when comming into bat.

What have SA been up to the last 6 or 7 overs? They seem to have given up completely. I know there wasn't much chance but surely they could have tried rather than accept the inevitabe so tamely

Gotta agree with you there, its been very very tame. Just gave up completely.

KevIRL

Great 6 there from Gibbs to bring up his 50
