The fact that this is called a Test match, IMO, actually does the game no benefit at all.

These two teams would struggle to give an Engish County Team or Australian State Team a game.

As I remember, Bangladesh already beat English County Team before 1999 World Cup and also Australian State team during Australia tour. So I think you are not right at all.

And I am with the Bangladesh supporters, well done.

It will be good for cricket if Bangladesh keep up this improvment, and also to be fair, if Zimbabwe get sorted.

Well done Bangladesh, Good luck Zimbabwe.

Possibly, do you have the match reports?

The big test will be in England you have two three-day games against Sussex and Northampton (probably second teams as well) I am happy to put money that you won't win one of them.

Offcourse I have records.

Anyways, sometimes teams like Pakistan, India and even Australia beaten by these county team. So Bangladesh can loose against them also.

Actually you guys are only here to make negative comments over Bangladesh. You don't understand the reality. You guys just thought that Bangladesh will play like Australia from now. But the reality is Bangladesh is new. Australia and England have 100 years of cricket experience, Bangladesh's age is (not cricket, the country's age) 33 years only. So how can you thought that Bangladesh will start play like Australia, India, Pakistan from the beginning. They will improve day by day. And they are improving. Ya, I know that sometimes Bangladesh played some bad series after getting the Test Status and also a bad World Cup. But now they are coming.

COMING SOON! COMING SOON!! COMING VERY SOON!!!

Exactly, and as long as they are going forward, which they slowly are, there is no real reason to moan about them.

Belated congrats to B'desh from me as well. All the best for the next test, speaking of which, they are in considerable trouble at the moment.
