Victory of Bangladesh
Zahedul Amin, Mailbagh, Dhaka
This is the greatest victory for Bangladesh surpassing the triumph against Australia in Cardiff. The win against South Africa will be treated as a landmark in the cricketing history of Bangladesh. The win will definitely help silence the critics. Thanks to the young guns of Bangladesh that they achieved such a great victory.This success proves that Bangladesh are going in the right direction with a well established infrastructure. ***The match between Bangladesh and South Africa, billed as a contest between the Davids and the Goliaths, turned out to be an encounter that will remain fresh in the minds of the cricket lovers of this land. Following two defeats in the hands of the Australians and the Kiwis, the Tigers bounced back with a bang. Thanks to the tremendous batting display of the players, especially Ashraful, the Tigers managed to post a healthy total of 251. The knock of that diminutive batsman was a unique blend of aggression and caution. After playing the role of the sheet-anchor for the most part of his stay at the crease, he came into his own in the later part of the Bangladesh innings. The way he belted the fast bowlers into different corners of the field was masterful. Some of his shots were innovative in every sense of the word. It was unfortunate that he missed a well-deserved century. The rest of the job was done by the seam bowlers and the spinners who bowled with accuracy and guile. Hats off to the marauding Tigers .
