*Official* South Africa in Bangladesh 2015

[cricman]

Umpires finally got 1 right

 

[cricman]

Don't be a Prick Dale and just bowl the damn yorker already

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

No one carrying the innings might hurt

 

[OverratedSanity]

Decent lead.

 

[Howe_zat]

Not quite enough of a lead to cause real damage. Need to bowl just as well as the first innings

 

[cnerd123]

I can't help but feel they need to eek this lead out to at least 100 to really be a chance. I can feel a big second innings ton coming from someone in the South African side.

I feel the same. + the rain means this will probably end in a draw

Yeah, you feel that if SA set anything over 200 Bangladesh will implode during the chase.

 

[morgieb]

They've gotten a lead, but this is still South Africa v Bangladesh. They'll probably implode somehow.

 

[BeeGee]

I don't see Bangladesh getting past 315. I can see them Implode for 200 as well. It's a very long tail

Nah.

I've seen him listed as both from lots of different sources ever since I first heard of the guy. Cricinfo recently changed from Litton to Liton.

Example:
Litton Das likely to keep in India Test | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

this is where the game shifts and slides down. draw will not be a bad outcome (if they can manage) for bd but still a massive chance gone begging due to batsmen not being able to convert

 

[OverratedSanity]

Do people not realise how far away the draw is? There's two full days remaining.

yeah this, I literally rechecked cricinfo to see whether today was day three or day four

 

[Marius]

I think this game is nicely poised. Elgar and Van Zyl are looking decent, if SA can get a lead of over 200, they could be favourites, looked like Harmer was bowling well and the seamers were starting to get their nip back.

IF BD gets Amla early SA will roll over at 200-250. Faf is pretty ordinary on slow low tracks rest are ordinary I still feel Bangla are favs to take this all they need is couple of bowlers to step up.

I've seen him listed as both from lots of different sources ever since I first heard of the guy. Cricinfo recently changed from Litton to Liton.

I used to be very confused about his spelling. Decided to use single 't' since one 't' is used here in bd generally for the name.

Yeah, cricinfo actually going to the effort of changing their spelling was enough for me to go with 'Liton'; they must have some sort of reliable info on that to go to the trouble (perhaps someone asked him).

 

[kingkallis]

How did Bangladesh become competitive all of a sudden? The last few months have seen some remarkable results.

Ask Hathurasinghe.
