World Cup - South Africa v Bangladesh

Bangladesh have given South Africa a target ... 331 to win... cannot see them doing it ... Ngidi is injured after pulling a hammy in the 1st 7 overs ......

Now that was a proper cricket match,good win for Bangladesh.

I wouldn't regard this as a major upset,Bangladesh are easily the best of the emerging nations,and will expect to qualify for the KO stages.

As for the Springboks with India and the WI upcoming it looks like an early elimination.

The fixtures for the WC don’t make a lot of sense to me. India’s first game is against SA on Wednesday or Thursday this week; it will be SA’s third game and most, if not all other teams will have already played twice. Seems very unbalanced.

South Africa look what they are. A very old team, maybe you can get away with hiding one in the field they are hiding 3 or 4

One of the other issues is the selection policy for the SA team....fausted on them by the Government. There are players on that team that should not be there purely based on merit.
