Match Thread: Bangladesh v South Africa at Newlands: ICC World Twenty20

[AsifTheManRahman]

Looks like our batsmen got too confident after the win the other day. Oh well, our bowlers are going to have to bowl really really well to save our butts again.

Proper cricketing shots were getting them enough runs - there was no need to go for ugly hoicks. Dumminy being a beast didn't help either.

ok guys...I'm back...got all the tickets i wanted! 144 eh? we can do it..we can do it....come on Tigers...make my already lucky day even luckier!

[sandpiper]

dhurrr... vallage na ... aar kotokkhon ?

[Russell2k7]

Sand I think about 10 more mins

[AsifTheManRahman]

Btw, the slowness of the pitch might just help us from here. It's a dead rubber anyways, so I hope they learn from this and put up a better show against the still vulnerable Aussies.

[Bengaliprince176]

damn!!! such a great start too many wickets lost at the beginning! the batsman didnt have to go for it every ball. still BD still have a good chance- we saw waht Pakistan did yesterday with a smilar total

[cricfanz]

as it was, SA is at an advantage by batting second..add the lowish score, we might as well as concede the game unless we get quick and cheap wickets..

[Miraz]

I don't see anything wrong in the game plan. Go and enjoy as the match does not have any importance.

Unfortuanely we lost Ashraful cheaply and the run out of Sakib, otherwise we could have easily scored 180+.

I am sure if the top order haven't scored those runs or kapali played at number 3, he would have played the same.

It was inability to play at this level not any planned game for kapali.

[Rifat]

Alok kapali held the innings steady instead of collapse at 100 runs be thankful for that.

[Russell2k7]

yeah Karap Kopal Kaplai destroyed the whole game. We could have at least scored 160+.

[Electrequiem]

pleaes can anyone give me a good working link?

[sandpiper]

i am thankful for that... but once they played until 15th over.... it was his responsibility to accelerate and provide some worthful contribution to the scoreboard

Rifat Bhai nope. You only held innings steady by rotating the strike not by playing dot balls. lol.

huh!!!! Oh yes!!

he is the best player in the world for holding the innings or second best after JO?

For the same reason we should immediately bring JO back in the T20 squad.

I dont agree with you. I think he did a pretty good job although he struggled to find his timing.

[Miraz]

Mashrafe is starting the proceeding.

[WarWolf]

What's been on Kapali's mind? I really failed to read his mind. Any clues?

They didn't have to play every shot in the air. You gotta work the ball around and rotate the strike also. If you hit a couple of boundaries, the bowler is going to try something radically different. The shots were amazing, but there were some really bad ones. This match has exposed our limited depth in hitting the down the order.

[MohammedC]

I think we have little chance if we take 2 or 3 early wicket. 144 is below par score but any thing can happen in T20.

[cricketboy]

We play Aus, Sri, and Pak in the super 8s.

[Miraz]

Good movement from Mashrafe!!

Edged from Smith and first run for SA.

[sandpiper]

the ball is moving .. good sign

[Asif]

Salaam everyone... any working link pls??

[Miraz]

Good bowling by Mashrafe 1 run from 4 balls.
