SA sail on Smith ton

Ai. Musabbir Sadi from cig
Graeme Smith led from the front with his seventh one-day century as South.Africa erased memories of their World Cup defeat to Bangladesh with a crushing nine-wicket win against the hosts in die opener of the three match series yesterday.
Despite losing a crucial toss on a slow and turning wicket at the Chittagong Divisional Stadium, the Protcas rattled to 1 BO for one after booking Bangladesh for 178 to take one step forward to dethrone Australia as world's number one OD1 team with man-of-the-match Smith and Herschelle Gibbs (57 off 84 balls) putting on 143 runs for the opening partnership.
If South Africa win both the remaining matches in Dhaka, they will overtake the world champions in the ICC world rankings.

skipper Smith carried the form into the limited-overs version scoring an unbeaten 103 off 118 balls. The left-hander, who reached his hundred in the last ball of the innings with his 14th four -- a lofted drive over midwicket -- also hit one six. One-day debutant Hashim Amla was not out on nine to help his captain finish the job with nearly 13 overs to spare.
Instead of handing the new ball to Shahadat Hossain, Bangladesh skipper Mohammad Ashraful paired spinner Abdur Razzaq with seamer Syed Rasel but the ploy hardly bothered the seasoned Smith and Gibbs.
While Smith hurried to a bigger landmark, Gibbs was less combative but looked decisive on eight shots that raced to the boundary. The right-hander, dropped from the Test series, hit the ball with authority, and having reached his 34th fifty half- century, lofted a straight six and eventually perished in the next over when he completely missed a pull
and was caught in front by a low delivery from Shakib Al Hasan on thebackfoot.
Earlier, theTigers innings was all about Tamim Iqbal's heroics. The left-handed opener became the first Chittagonian to score a half-century at his hometown. He mixed patience with early aggression to make a superb 82 off 98 balls while his fellow batsmen miserably failed to make most of batting first on a track that showed signs of early turn.
The 18-year-old, who entertained a big crowd, celebrated on 49 after a mistimed four — his seventh that ran to third-man but his fourth fifty came two overs later with a single to mid-off.
Tamim perhaps got carried away after hitting Jean-Paul Duminy for successive boundaries - a four through covers and a big six over midwicket -- in the part-time spinner's first over and holed out to the long-on fence where Albie Morkel took a comfortable catch at his throat to give off-
spinner Paul Harris his second wicket on debut.
With nearly 15 overs remaining, it seemed that Tamim had come out of his momentary defensive shell rather early with the rival slow bowlers still having a stranglehold on the batsmen.
As it happened in theTest series, the batting failed after a good show in the prior warmup game.
True, as Bangladesh failed to survive their quota and with three spinners in the side, they fell well (40-50 runs) short of what would have been a challenging total.
Paceman Andre Nel was the pick of the attack with 3-24 while spinners Harris and Johan Botha each chipped in with two wickets.
The home side, who dropped 'out-of-form' vice-captain and pace spearhead Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, handed debuts to Rokibul Hassan, left-arm spinner Mosharraf Hossain and wicketkeeper Dhiman Ghosh while Test specialists Hashim Amla and Harris won the Proteas OD1 caps.
