All said and done ..Bangladesh have competed better than England ..their batting looks more secure than England's at anytime during the 4-test series

Which match were you watching? They only took 10 Indian wickets, giving away 800+ runs, didn't win a single session, about to lose by a big margin on a flat patta, seriously how in the world did they compete better than england?

Thought bd gave a good account of themselves pitches n all considered

LOL. Slow growth rate? This is what happens when u take things without perspective. 

 

Do u know how long did India take to win their first ever test match or first ever away test series? 

 

Comparing kohl with mushfiqur? Kohli plays 20 tests a year whereas Bangla considers itself lucky if it gets to play 2 Tests In a year. 

 

Ok, compare the number of drawn tests.  SL drew the first test it played against India.

Australia will beat the living hell outta Indian bowlers if India dares to give them the types of wicket they dished out to England or Bangla. 

I guess it took after the test loss to get some Toyger dumb@ss-ery posts on ICF.

We are talking about drawing tests. Almost all teams had several draws. BD set world record for consecutive losses.  Let us face it. BD got test status way too soon.

This is the approach which will never improve cricket. Bangladesh was beating other associate nations regularly. If we do not give top associate teams a chance to play every top nation in test, we will not be able to spread cricket much. Bangladesh improved even in ODI's after being given chance in test cricket. Who cares if they kept losing, others lose too. Most teams are getting whitewashed away from homes even after being there in cricket since ages. 

 

You have to give them games to improve and giving them test status early isn't anything wrong even if they get whitewashed. Look at other things like how crowd is coming in Bangladesh to watch test cricket compared to other countries. 

 

The more games their country play, the more fans emerge in these countries and hence more people get attracted to the game. 

 

There will never be a "Leicester city story" in cricket if we do not give these teams more games and test matches." 

 

Failure in test matches rubs of on shorter format a lot and improves the game for many nations, especially for these minnow nations who have pretty much same test and ODI line up unlike countries like India and Australia.

Agitated?  Hardly.  Clearly some of the posts on this thread were too much for your toyger "pride" to handle, so you made a typical toyger like statement, climbing into the shorts of the Aussies no less.  

 

On the test status question, I actually happen to agree with Cricketics.

IMHO if more teams get test status then you can  have have two tier system where in top two teams from tier 2 will join tier 1 in a four year cycle. This allows newer test nations to get more test cricket and also spreads the game more.The bigger teams should have enough guts to accept that challenge.If England stink they will be no Ashes, same with every other big team.

 

This nonsense that the teams have to compete certain way or they are not worthy of test status is ridiculous. England got white washed both home and away in 80s against WI and yet kept playing them.Would they do it now , we all know what India has done since 2011 away from home.

 

People who are asking for draws need to understand with 90 overs in a day strictly being implemented, draws on any decent pitch is very tough. 1980s when SL got their test status was totally different scenario, game was played very slow and over rates were appalling , teams were not this hungry to win every match.

 

Bangladesh also need to improve and they are doing right thing by playing to their strengths at home and once they start competing and winning at home they will do better away also but that might take another ten years.Give test status to Ireland and Afghanistan and  let them along with Zimbabwe compete Bangladesh. Let each team play 5 to 7 tests per year.

Bangladesh was pretty decent all things considered.

 

Much better than what I expected particularly considering their Warm up game performance.Frankly did better than England performed in last 3 tests.

1. India's w/l record also might have been similar when India started playing test cricket. 

2. BD play very few away tests. Focus is more on LoIs. Kohli also says test cricket temperament is crucial which comes only by playing more n more test cricket.

 

 

thats the weak BD argument. But what needs to be understood is experience in cricket is gained by playing international test matches not by practicing as a team over number of years. So if BD plays x number of test matches in 1 year and India played the x amount when it started in 5 years that does not mean India had more experience since it was over 5 years, as a matter of fact it would be a disadvantage for India as they would have had some player churn in 5 years.

[Vilander]

BD is pretty good in tests now, India must play them more often they can be better than Pak in a couple of seasons ( in fact their players should get IPL contracts and India should help BD become better) and there are no political compulsions to not play them and they hate us like pak so will play with passion to beat us, its all good.

[flat_wicket_bully]

I don't necessarily think that Bangladesh were better than England. On the brighter side for Bangladesh, Mehedi Hassan looks a very good future prospect for them

[jeetu]

Current Bangladesh side is a good performer in Asian conditions. We should play them more in tests.

In Tests?No.

 

In ODIs they are a decent team.
