I don't think that South Africa's team should be called that...
If we try to see the matter from a different angle, we might conclude that Bangladesh's team is improving day by day. If you guys might have noticed, they have worked a lot on their fielding and bowling. So we may say that Bangladesh is rising up. In 1983 When India won World Cup against West Indies, India was not that great team, but West Indies was. Then to, West Indies lost to India.
In this world cup, i see the same thing, but now its not India, but Bangladesh. We all know that the Australia is the best team, and South Africa was the number one contender, which can give Australia a tough fight, but Bangladesh's game has improved a lot, so may be, not this time but next time, Bangladesh will reach till finals, if they continue putting same efforts.

It's hard to tag the number 1 team on the ICC cricket ratings as minnows.Bangladesh deserved this victory just like they deserved the one against India because both times ,their fielding commitments were unmatched.Some of the catches the bangladeshis took yesterday would have made even Gibbs turn his had and take a look.Some of their youngsters are showing their resolve which was surely lacking in our case.I think South Africa will be better off after this loss as this would shake them up.They are already through to the semifinals anyway.
