South Africa have been utterly disappointing in this. Its good to see Zimbabwe and Bangladesh putting up a good fight though.

SA got thrashed by 9 wickets by the home side in the final.  No Steyn , Morkel , Kallis or de Villiers though , so no need to panic. What was blatently obvious was the replacements were so average - SA has little depth and that has to be a concern.
         Some signs that Zimbabwe have improved - they were well organised and looked a balanced unit.

That's the point. We expected SAF to win this one being a major cricketing nation, but if this is the depth, then it really is a huge concern and needs attention.

I think RSA have better players, a T20 format is not the one to decide a teams ability.

Great result this for Zimbabwe, even Bangladesh played well throughout the tournament which is good to see, very happy for ZIM and Bangla boys

Don't get carried away Sam , it was a very low key affair for the South Africans and didn't carry any ranking points - it was an unoffical competition.

I know Sledge, but for Zimbabwe and Bangladesh, esp Zimbabwe, this is a significant achievement still... after all the competition was stiff. Lets see if Zimbabwe can translate some of this success at the WT20, they have SLN and RSA in their group, while Bangla boys run in to PAK and NZL.
