Tigers shred Protea bouquet
Opener Soumya Sarker, one of the standard-bearers of the new era in Bangladesh cricket, pulls majestically en route to his scintillating 90-run knock against South Africa in Chittagong yesterday.

n Mazhar Uddin and Rajib Bhowmick Even before coming to Bangladesh, the Proteas have been saying that there was no chance of taking the Tigers lightly.

Bowlers have always been the unsung hero of limited-over cricket. But for the first time in the history of Bangladesh cricket, bowlers are consistently sealing the fate of the state of affairs in the first half of matches. Restricting the South African batting in the 160s in consecutive matches is in itself a feat that even many top teams would dream about. But Bangladesh’s bowlers did the basics right, hitting the right lines and lengths, and it was not a dream anymore.
