Proteas sweep series

---

South Africa took just 36.4 overs to dismiss Bangladesh at Centurion Friday, thereby completing an emphatic innings victory to seal a 2-0 series-win.
Ashwell Prince cracked an unbeaten 162 earlier in the day before South Africa's fast bowlers tore into Bangladesh's fragile line-up who were rolled for an abject 131.
Three panicky run-outs left Jamie Siddons, their coach, with his head in his hands. It is difficult to know just what his side have learned from this experience.
What frustrates and perplexes is Bangladesh's ability to turn it on, before throwing it away. When the pressure is off (which it so rarely is) they are confident in their strokeplay and disciplined with the ball. Yet, put them in the position of conceding a 179-run lead, as they were on the day, and they disintegrate without a trace. Makhaya Ntini, Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel's barrage of intimidating bouncers was predictable, but the right tactic; Bangladesh's batsmen cannot cope with accurate fast bowling, and the ensuing performance of their middle-order smacked of blind panic.
The subdued manner in which Mark Boucher accepted the final catch told a story in itself. But although his coach, Mickey Arthur, was concerned at South Africa's build-up to Australia next month, he needn't be too worried. Today's performance was as clinical and effective as he could hope for given the opposition.
The rift in class between the two teams was as wide as ever. After dismissing South Africa for 429, conceding a lead of 179, Bangladesh had to survive 15 minutes until lunch but, after the openers had worked so hard, Imrul Kayes fell to Ntini when he edged straight to slip. Junaid Siddique, who batted courageously in the first innings for 67, joined Tamim Iqbal and the pair was repeatedly peppered after the interval. Ntini's around-the-wicket ploy to Tamim was a favourite tactic, rapping the left-hander on the gloves three times. - Cricinfo
