5th Match - South Africa v Bangladesh
- Thread starter James
- Start date
Enjoyed that. Still think BD are too flawed and too reliant on a few players to make the Semis but they aren't going to be a walkover. Good game.
South Africa as poor as I have ever seen them. Old, badly balanced and injury stricken - are we seeing the hollowing out of their depth to county cricket starting to bite?

I'm not white enough for that. We prefer bombs.

No plenty of talent still. The old part is true, we should have been coming here with a younger squad started 3-4 years ago. But also much of that talent is sitting at 18-22 years of age and not quite there yet.

With SA I get the vibe that the "process", whatever the **** that means in modern parlance, has taken over any individual form of expression. A team in need of a sports psychologist if ever there was one.

Another 5 wins needed maybe to qualify?
I think England, India and Australia are to strong,,,but its possible they can get wins against everyone else for sure.

India aren't, so don't feel too down. The balltalk of India being contenders has been to keep the huge Indian contingent happy. I can easily see Rabada and Steyn if fit piercing holes in that top order on Wednesday.

I think you’re being a bit harsh on SA there, they were more competitive then on Thursday.

I was referring to Bangladesh, should have made that clearer in my post.
South Africa look very average, unless AB comes back then they are ****ed.

Wouldn't be a stretch to call this the best game of the tournament thus far. There was a certain tension throughout that was palpable even if Bangladesh were on top for all of it. South Africa lost the game in their head well before they came out to bat and seemed scared to lose even though man for man they are probably a better side. I am happy for Bangladesh though, this success is not a one-off and wouldn't be surprised if they go far in the tournament.
On an unrelated note, I am not used to seeing South Africa as an ordinary fielding side. What happened?
