AFRICAN TREATS

Al-Amin from Johannesburg
The Wanderers stadium is definitely the premier cricket centre in the world. The 'bullring' in the heart of Johannesburg is renowned for generating an atmosphere that at times can be intimidating and also unforgettable.
There was no exception when a lesser team like Bangladesh played their final match against Kenya at the imposing venue. The atmosphere was electrifying with a huge holiday South African crowd cheering every run the Kenyans scored.
Not to be outdone some hundred or so Bangladeshi supporters tried their best to pump up the volume in their own 'unique way.'
The beauty of the venue's design is the small lush green stand on the western side that provides children with an ideal place to play.
That's not all. Each time there is a break in play, the
powerful in-field sound system rocks the audience with popular Queen number 'We will rock you.'
The modern four-storied Wanderers houses a variety of snack-bars on either side of the stands. Besides, souvenirhunters can find items of their choice on every team that has played here during the competition.
No matter what happens on the field a visit to the Wanderers is always special.
WOOLMER FOR
BANGLADESH?
Bob Woolmer is a regular visitor to every Kenya game. The high-profile former South African coach is nowadays also helping the three other ICC associate member nations Canada, Namibia and the Netherlands develop the game.
However, the ex-England cricketer was the first to admit he knew little about Bangladesh while talking to journalists yesterday.
On whether he was interested to take over as Bangladesh coach, the charismatic coach gave a vague answer.
"I have got all the time in the world. But I have not been approached. I'm also hearing a lot of stories."
GOOD BOWLING BUT
TERRIBLE FIELDING
At long last the Bangladesh's limited attack made an impact. Young Taposh Baisya bowled his heart out in company with Manjurul Islam. Experienced Khaled Mahmud also was brilliant when it was his turn to operate.
Unfortunately the same could not be said of the fielding.
The butter-fingered fielders spilled as many as five catches. Captain Khaled Mashud had a nightmare behind the stumps twice dropping the ball.
So instead of picking up four wickets medium-pacer Mahmud ended up with just one.
It all started in the second over when Akram floored Kenyan opener Ravindu Shah at first slip off Baisya. The right-hander, who was batting on one, went on to score 37.
Mahmud haplessly watched dangerman Steve Tikolo being dropped off successive deliveries in the 24th over first by Sanwar at mid-wicket and then Mashud. The Kenyan captain was on 4 at the time. He scored 26.
Mashud also dropped Hitesh Modi when the left-hander was on 7
