Congratulations Bangladesh!

[Victor Frankenstein]

excellent performance, well done, seeing as their next game is against england and is a day/nighter, in england you only need to win the toss and bat first to win a day nighter as it's next to impossible to win batting in the dark here. Would be funny to see bangladesh at the top of the table with 2 wins out of 2 in a tournament everyone was saying they shouldn't even be in

What a glorious moment for any Bangladesh fanCongratulations. Ashraful deserves all the praise he receives

[Doink]

Congrats to the Bangla-Tigers! Ashraful played a very memorable innings! But I'd still say it would be a good idea if BAN could get to play more against the A-teams of the test-playing nations. Feel very happy for BAN and sad for Kenya. They could do as well or even better if they got the same amount of exposure and support.

Knew you will say that. "Almost" full strenght Australia.

This Bangladesh win has given me a warm fuzzy feeling. The heartiest congratulations to the Tigers, here's to many more wins like this.

[Maranello]

I know what you mean Dave, though not sure I would want to be any warmer than I already am, on the hottest weekend of the year.

Watching Ashraful and Aftab Ahmeds celebrations reminded me of what cricket is all about, and why i'm such a huge fan of it. Hats off to the Bangladeshi's, who surely have silenced a few critics now.

Well what can i say Tigerfan? The side was almost full strength only because Symonds was out. Australia only go play a full strength team for finals and go into normal game with either a almost full strength team or an understrength team due to the rotation policy, injury, or in this case drunkeness. If you are looking for a hint of sour grapes, you will not find any from me, other Aussies on this forum, the Aussie public or media. I can only reiterate by saying:

If they can put in more performances like the one last night, they will be able to beat any team in world cricket on their day. Well done Bangledesh - good result for cricket in general i think.

A weak Bangledesh is bad for world cricket but a strong Bangledesh is good for world cricket. I hope they enjoy further success not only againstAustralia, but against all nations as well
Satisfied?

[Big Merv]

Congrats. They looked good and really deserved the win. Well done.

Brilliant performance.Having watched England thrash you out of sight in 2 Tests and the first 1 day game i feared the worst for you,but i am delighted i was wrong.Fantastic knock by Ashraful who finally looked a decent player having been all at sea over the previous month.There is hope for the future in your team with a few good young players to build the team round.
