After the end of first test, the same crapinfo commentator said this:
Handshakes all round as the two teams appreciate each other's efforts. The batting again let Bangladesh down. Some adrenalin rush as ever and the starts were wasted.
It has been an good tight contest, though and was good to watch. Shahadat had a great match, picking up nine wickets in the game but he would be disappointed by the effort of his batsmen. SA would be relieved they have sewed this one up and happy that their batsmen adapted to the conditions better in the second innings.

The top order failed to stick it out and plan for five days rather than one session. We keep saying that for a struggling team, the only way is up, but Bangladesh just don't seem to be showing any improvement on a consistent basis.They gave the South Africans a scare in Mirpur but couldn't sustain the momentum.
