cuz now they pissed off.
Too desperate ..that they gonna lose to New Zealand too.
Kiwis have Daniel Victory.
I can give reasons.
Psychology concerns.?
May be..
That's the best part of this glorious game...Cricket..Why Are you stunned...?? Dont worry.This is the reality.
South Africans Are not any more No.01.
They should have beendefeated by Sri Lanka.
Ho...Ho,...What happened to this...So called No.1 team??? Well i think Bangladesh are very well deserved team to beat even so called "Number 01".....But S.AF.. are kind of stunned !! thats something They could never get over with........Why they fail at the end?? must be some Psychothology behind....otherwise NowBangladeshi Tigers makes a good combination of batting, Bowling and fielding !!
Sometimes it may be... Bangladesh so either Bangladesh is playing realy good or South Africans are playing realy bad.....might have taken Bangla easy and Bangladesh is kind of team who knows how to pick up "chances"..Good luck to them !!
What i have seen is that South Afirca always played good cricket game(with today's exception) ..
So could not sort out what is happening today ! and there is always a chance of "upset" in cricket ! That chance have to be taken by a good team like>>>Bangladesh.
Did you see by the time ..Mark Boucher hit 6 Smith laugh.
Alas!! then very next ball boucher was walking back to have a shower. What an Irony.
At least now Smith know they are not No-01.
I can remember Smith said after Sri Lanka Match .............." we knew.....that we were going to win.....
& only last moment .......
only Sri Lanka put their head in to the match ....
So now It doesn't matter .we are the best"
What an anti-climax for a" ego -Maniac"
Today he was clean bowled.Stumps were shattered
Hense his day dreams of qualifing to much awaited Semi- Finals.Now West Indies can sneak in...
Hail to thee Bangla Tigers...way to go!!
Keep on trying ...
For Smith... he shoud come out clean..
instead of pumpkin head.

Maybe there was a bit of overconfidence. Plus Bangladesh have a young side most of whom SA haven't played against. It was Bangladesh's day. Plus if you see the SA squad they dont have a single spinner except Peterson, and Smith is a part time spinner. That means that SA is really bad against spin cuz they cant practice it in the nets. On the other hand, Bangladesh had 3 spinners playing and the pitch was really slow and was hard to score on with a helping hand of spin so Bangladesh could easily do the damage. Whilst SA couldnt do anything except bowl with their pace bowlers.

SA lost to Bangladesh for the same reason why India lost to Bangladesh. Over-confidence about themselves and under-rating the opponents. In the "glorious game of uncertainties", Bangladesh have really proved to be giant killers . They beat Australia in an ODI match in Bangladesh a few months back. So, on a given day, any team can win.
Self-confidence and positive attitude are all that is required !

The reason SA lost was because they did not read the conditions well and were beaten by th better side on the day. The key to their success was the 3 spinners they had, who exploited a pitch that just got lower and slower as the day went on, which was foreign to the SA players who are more used to and more comfortable with the ball coming onto the bat.

Such upset victories make cricket a game of uncertainties. No team can take any match for granted, however strong they are and however weak the opposition is. The result of any match will purely depend upon the performance of the teams on the particular day. In the match between South Africa and Bangladesh, South Africa failed to play to their potential whereas Bangladesh played excellent cricket and all their players came to peak of their form, which resulted their upset victory over South Africa..

No team can will all the time. But yes, I fear that this SA team is not a world beater. For one, their bowling attack is one-dimensional. Secondly Ntini is below his best and I dont believe that Graham Smith is the best on-field tactician.
Bangladesh on the other hand had nothing to lose. And good for them. The world needs another good team now that Zimbabwe is not a first grade side at present.

Because the Australia found extra playing and have come back from a holiday and now they are taking it seriously again

Bowling i think of. We don't have allowed India to get to one hundred eighty. i do no longer think of they imagined getting one hundred eighty earlier the tournament began. The batsmen struggled to get going. They left too lots artwork to do on the top it rather is worry-unfastened in that team. we've been knocked out of all ICC tournaments because of the fact the batsman can no longer %. their innings nicely adequate. yet nevertheless i think of the bowlers bowled poorly, nevertheless credit could bypass to India for choking us lower back.
