I also think it's time we bench one of the pacer trio (my candidate - Rubel) and bring in Shakil. SA boys are clearly weak against spin.

Cricinfo preview of the match -

South Africa had to depend on India beating West Indies to qualify for the quarter-finals and they might have expected to play England, instead of Bangladesh, whose spinners triggered a collapse that pushed them to the top of Group C.

For South Africa, the challenge will be to negotiate Bangladesh's slow bowlers: offspinners Nasir Hossain and Mahmudul Hasan, and the captain Suhrawadi Shuvo, a left-arm spinner. South Africa's batsmen have looked to attack the opposition and the tendency to play one too many shots - rather than build an innings - has resulted in wickets being thrown away. Their run-chase against West Indies was well on course until their middle-order hiccupped against Sharmarh Brooks' legspin and, against India, they lost five wickets to Ravindra Jadeja and Iqbal Abdulla. The positives for them are the bowling form of their captain Wayne Parnell, a left-arm new-ball bowler, and Jonathan Vandiar's attacking batting in the middle-order. Vandiar bowled his legbreaks for the first time in the tournament against Papua New Guinea and picked up 4 for 27.

The Bangladesh top order struggled against England's pace attack: Harris took 5 for 29 out of which four batsmen were dismissed for ducks. South Africa have a line-up filled with medium-pacers who keep a tight line and length. Their accuracy is heightened by excellent fielding and also because the wicketkeeper often stands up to the stumps, making it hard for the batsman to leave his crease.

Bangladesh had toured South Africa in the build-up to this World Cup and there wasn't much to choose between the sides. They drew one Test although South Africa had taken a sizeable first-innings lead, and clinched a one-dayer by a two-wicket margin.

dayily star preview:

Youths' date with SA Sports Reporter Bangladesh under-19 captain Suharwardi Shuvo's words ahead of today's quarterfinal reflected his team's mindset. "We are confident and positive of a good result," said the left-arm spinner, who inspired his side on Friday with both bat and ball, on the eve of their crucial knockout fixture against South Africa at the Bayueams Oval in Kuala Lumpur. Bangladesh escaped from 49-7 to win by 13 runs against a strong England outfit when Shuvo played patiently to score an unbeaten 56 and then took a wicket. The Rajshahi lad and Dollar Mahmud took part in light practice despite suffering in the searing heat of the Malaysian capital. The rest of the side were kept fresh, taking part in a light warm-up followed by a net session that lasted an hour in the late afternoon. Batsman Saikat Ali is set to replace out of form Rony Talukdar and Saikat will bring in a bit of medium-pace into the well-blended Bangladesh bowling attack. Team liaison officer Ziaul Alam Rony informed last night that the temperature reached almost 38 degree Celsius on Friday and is expected to remain the same on Sunday. But the heat was the last thing on the team management's mind as they looked to close out the Proteas, much like they did earlier this year in a tri-nation tournament in South Africa. Bangladesh had toured South Africa in the build-up to this World Cup and there wasn't much to choose between the sides. They drew one Test although South Africa had taken a sizeable first-innings lead, and clinched a one-dayer by a two-wicket margin. Word from the South Africa camp is that Bangladesh are a tough side to break and are being perceived as a genuine threat. There were suggestions that today's opponents would not be as strong as England but it would be unwise to let go of a major chance to win a big tournament due to over-confidence. Their opponents had to depend on India beating West Indies to qualify for the quarterfinals and they might have expected to play England, instead of Bangladesh. For South Africa, the challenge will be to negotiate Bangladesh's off-spinners Nasir Hossain and Mahmudul Hasan, and Shuvo. The Bangladesh top order struggled against England's pace attack: Harris took 5 for 29 out of which four batsmen were dismissed for ducks. South Africa have a line-up filled with medium-pacers who keep a tight line and length. Their accuracy is heightened by excellent fielding and also because the wicketkeeper often stands up to the stumps, making it hard for the batsman to leave his crease.

They have the right but they can't show all four games at the same time. So some game will get the preferance and I am pretty sure they will show the India game. Unless they have a second channel which I doubt.

[damalChele]

Ch 815 (Geo UK) is not showing any cricket but Ch 825 (Geo News) is covering the first QF. It doesn't mention the teams. My guess is IND V ENG.

There is a life line. According to http://in.yimg.com/icccricket/pdfs/o...9-cwc-2008.pdf ESPN, Starsports and along with many other broadcasters are supposed to be covering the last 6/7 matches of this tournament. If anyone finds any streaming link of any of these channels please do inform us.

Money makes the world go round, apparently. Some of the channels can't even afford to pay their employees.
