| A historic day Congratulations to Bangladesh on winning their first test match today, beating Zimbabwe at Chittagong by 226 runs.

| Don't think this proves anything except how poor Zimbabwe are without their over-looked or "retired" players. 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.

| I think if any side is going to make it on the test arena out of Bang and Zim then its going to be Bangladesh- They have just shown little signs of improving lately and they have some good up coming players in Mortaza, Ashraful and Emanul Haque jnr to add to the more experienced pros like Bashar, Rafique and Mashud. I can see them winning a few more tests in the next few years, whether thats enough to keep them in test cricket remains to be seen. |

| I agree, fully deserved win after giving Pakistan and the West Indies a solid run for their money in recent times. Good on them, there definately are signs of improvement.

| Bangla will start giving the likes of Windies, NZ, Pakistan and co. a good run for their money. They'll go into the England tour believing, and although they'll come away disappointed, a series whitewash could be the tonic. It looks unlikely Zimbo will ever get the major players back---ironically, this is the time when they've been embarrassed most without them. |

Tier A Australia England India Sri Lanka Pakistan South Africa New Zealand West Indies Tier B Zimbabwe Bangladesh Kenya Scotland Canada UAE At the end of every two years, a three match series between the bottom Tier A side and top Tier B side takes place. The winner gets promoted to/remains in Tier A, and the other team goes/stays in Tier B. This would mean that teams like Bangladesh can work on their skills and will remove the dispiriting and moral sapping heavy defeats they so often suffer. I would keep the ODI structure the same though. Last edited by flanflinger : 11-01-2005 at 12:37 PM. |
