I'm looking forward to seeing how much Bangladesh can compete. It has been a demoralising first few years for them, but they've shown real improvement and developed some fighting spirit over recent months. Having a good coach like Whatmore must be a big plus for them.

I don't think it would be good for England if the Tigers roll over inside two days - we need them to put up a battle. I also think that world cricket needs to see Bangladesh continue to improve, especially as Zimbabwe are still a long way from sorting out their issues. We want to see more nations being able to compete and make test cricket exactly that - a 'test'. No-one likes to see a side beaten in two days by an inns and 200 runs.

Let's hope England win, but have to play well for it.

I've been trying to register my test team for the fantasy contest, but I see there is no Mathew Hoggard in the bowling options. Can anyone tell me why?

I forgot to add hoggard after the squad was announced. I also need to add Jon Lewis.Doing it now.

I see the road to success in this one was to pick no Bangladeshis! I just couldn't bring myself to do that, somehow. Mind you, I see Ern picked no Bangladeshis either - but half his team didn't play. That's tough, Ern!
