*Official* Match 39 - Bangladesh v South Africa

[BoyBrumby]

Lol Kayes.

Worst leave. Great inswing from Tsotters. Not a bad chap to have in reserve for the saffers, is he?

 

[Adamc]

Can't really see anyone bar Shakib keeping up with the required rate. Game over.

 

[TT Boy]

Second string South African attack > Bangladesh.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Siddique stone dead here.

Review just desperation, surely?

 

[TT Boy]

Solid effort from SA, tbf. Robbie P in the form of his life just now.

With Tahir back in the side you'd give the Bangers a puncher's chance at best. Bet385 makes SA 1/12 (1.08) & Bangladesh 8/1 (9.00) which seems about right.

Need Tamim to fire. TBF, he is due and against the 2nd string seam attack.
/flagrant jinxing attempt

The threat of Tamim is a bit overstated. Only averages over 30 against two test playing nations and has only scored 1 ODI 100 against one, England. Seems to enjoy Anderson and co. but very little else.

Athlai, I win.

Still Bangers' best batsman by the proverbial country mile tho.

Damning with faint praise as that is...

 

[TT Boy]

Ireland's batting line-up is so much better than this load of crap Bangladesh have its unreal.

 

[TT Boy]

Oh dear. 50 all out again?

 

[Athlai]

Athlai, I win.

South Africa scored over 270.

[four_or_six]

Phew.

 

[TT Boy]

South Africa scored over 270.

Smith wants the game to go past 15 overs. Botha out of the attack.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Bangers gone here. Need to show some gumption at least now.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Creamy straight drive from Shakib, absolutely textbook. Hard to imagine the shot being played better than that.

& now a lovely pull. Shots of a man in touch.

Three wickets to Tsotsobe, who can't even get into South Africa's main ODI side, with Steyn, Morkel and Tahir due to come back....

What an envious position to be in! As a WI fan, I'm currently searching genealogical records to see if Tsotsobe has Caribbean ancestry.

Hehe, it's quite baffling how with their fast bowling depth over the years - South Africa has never won a major ODI tourney

 

[GIMH]

Pheeeeeew
