WC2007: Super 8

That more like it, just when it looked like Bangladesh was just making the numbers they produce. Congrats to Bangladesh beaten the number 1 ranked team for the 2nd time.
 
Looks like the tigers are the lion killers ;)
 
Sickening day for South Africa. I think of all the cricketers who fought so hard to make SA the proud sporting nation we are only to see a bunch of children ruin it all. I know its only a super 8 game but, i mean, how does a team pick itself up after this. Theres not munch to be happy about in this country and I'm tired of World Cup dissapointments.

Please understand.
 
In the past two years, Bangladesh have beaten Australia, New Zealand and India. Don't hang yourself over this

Well I think he means South Africa have had such bad luck in the World Cup, and today they come up against a Bangladesh team playing well beyond them selves, leaving South Africa's position in jepordy.
 
I wouldn't panic. They still have to face England, WI, Ireland and NZ. You'd expect them to win at least 3 of them. The again, you would have expected them to beat Bangladesh :p

By at least 3, you mean all 3? :p
 
Despite this loss I still see SA making it through to the semis unless England can win probably 2/3 remaining matches. The big match to me will be SA V England which will probably decide who will make it through to the semis.

This is a fantastic win to the Bangladeshis and to me whenever Bangladesh wins now is by no fluke or by luck. They have already slayed Australia, India, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and now SA. Ashraful delivers once again and his innings really elevated them to victory much like the game against Aus. but the spin bowlers showed their worth on a turning track.
 
They only beat us in a warm up game. We have never lost to them in an ODI OR Test. And in the game which did count, we thrashed em!

SA lost. There you go, I've been saying they'll struggle to make the top4. Unfortonatly with the West Indies and England not performing and with tough games ahead, they should still make it. Ntini got walloped. I think SA paid for their silly batting order changes. You get the feeling that they wanted to bash the runs like they have been the last few occasions. Stupid batting.
 
Don't really see why they would change their batting order anyway. Gibbs has already shown he can hit if big and made a 50 batting at 7.
 
And congratulations to Australia. They're the number one again.

Gibbs had to come in at number 7 because he was off the field nursing his injured calf for too long when South Africa were fielding, to come up the order.
