Cricket World Cup: Bangladesh tonk South Africa

If this game and the last game are anything to go by, then this World Cup may finally have come to life with tense match-ups and startling upsets.  However, England play the Aussies today so I doubt it.

Bangladesh finally put in a performance to cheer the soul of all cricket fans amid the mediocrity that has been offered up so far, and their fabulous young players offer a great deal of hope for the future of their team.  South Africa by contrast were a disgrace; fined for their lamentably slow over rate and clobbered by 67 runs, they got exactly what their arrogant and uninterested performance deserved.

Maybe, just maybe, we have something to look forward to in the remaining 27 weeks of this seemingly unending tournament. [lee calvert]
