Is anyone following the Ind-B'desh series with any interest?

I agree, some of those guys have what it takes to compete at the top level, we musn't forget that Sri Lanka were given their chances too, and look where they are.

Just read the news. India lost to B'desh. Lol. Good for 'em. Atleast B'desh can beat India-A.

Maranello, Zimbabwe all players were not good than the Pakistani players. And it doesn't a matter of shame to loose against a weak team. Because it could happen in cricket.
And another thing is that I tried to tell that Zimbabwe's first test win was against Pakistan. Not first test against Pakistan. It happens because of my language fault. Sorry for it. And same happened to Bangladesh issue.

No worries bdm, losing that Multan Test was tough on Bangladesh, they did superbly and came close but were denied by a great batsman playing for his cricketing life!

Well done on today's game, I am sure the whole of Dhaka is out on the streets celebrating! And actually, how come you are indoors tonight?

........how many times has B'desh won an ODI against a test nation? Once against Pakistan, right? Kenya has much more talent and physical ability than the B'desh team. No wonder they spring some surprises every now and then. If B'desh are a test side, Kenya are even more so.

Bangladesh is new comer. They are unexperienced. Young team. Their standard is not match with other test playing nations and also don't match with non-test playing nations. Only match with Kenya. So I think dicissions to give them test status was not wrong. It was perfect.

No. Today Bangladesh beat India. A great win for them in a great moment. It was their 100th match. So great time to show their ability. Ya current Kenyan playing 11 team is little beat stronger than Bangladesh. But tell me, how many changes come to Kenyan team after 1996's World cup and how many changes come to Bangladesh After 1999's World Cup. Calculate the ages of the two team players and check which is greater than the other.

Kenya is not a test side because they have limited players with limited supporters. No one show interes in cricket their. So Bangladesh must get advantage to get it.

Anyways, India loose to Bangladesh today. Now India have a record to loose against Kenya (2/3 times) and Bangladesh (1 time). So a achivement made by the Indian Cricket Team. Because they are the second team who loose against all ODI status holer team. First team is Bangladesh. But as a new comer, it can happen and Bangladesh is one of the weak teams. But after 75 years of International cricket career, it is little bit ... ... you know...

Ooo. Nice to hear that Shehwag, Ganguly, Kaif, Youvraj, Agarkar, Murali Kartik, Dinesh Mongia, Zaheer Khan play in the Indian-A team.

If it is, then my annoncement is that without Tendulker and Pathan India is boneless.

Well done B'desh, but it can not change my or for that matter any one else's perspetive about their test status. As is, it's their sixth win in 100th ODI. Btw, I'm not sure Sehwag was there in the team. Last night I saw his name in the subs list. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Lol. I understand your euphoria and therefore I'm not going to hit back hard. Have fun while it lasts. Who knows when's the next time you are going to beat a test team .

[Maranello]

Sehwag was playing as were many of the other main Indian players. The youngsters actually did very well, it was the big names who were found wanting in ODIs yet again.
