i am creating this thread because i see some people are asking for the test status of bangladesh to get revoked. what is more shocking is, some of them are claiming no progress has been made over the last 12 years.

it just shows these posters either have personal grudges or they are just overweight arm chair critics who have very little clues how a rising nation develops.

some people are saying that bangladesh won the test series against a very weak west indies team, which is probably true.

however, my question is did bangladesh ask west indies to play a weaker squad? the answer is no. if west indies team has issues, what can bangladesh do? they were scheduled to play, they played and won the series.

keep in mind, that west indies squad had darren sammy, kemar roach, nikita miller - all are playing in this world cup. if bangladesh are such a weak team, don't you think a weaker west indies team will be enough to beat them?

if teams take bangladesh lightly and they send weaker teams, they can get beaten. after that if bangladesh team is abused because they have won against a weaker team, that is just pure non sense.

Agreed, Bangladesh has a lot of enthusiasm and it is inevitable that they will be a competitive side in the future. Let the haters keep on hating, ICC will not revoke Bangla's status, and very soon, they will be winning series.

bengalis are playing cricket since i dont know. They should atleast WIN A TEST against GOOD teams. not third string WI team.

bangladesh is playing test cricket since 2000. in their first ever test innings, they scored 400 runs. do you have any idea how close was bangladesh in winning a few test matches? they could not give the finishing touches, which i am sure can be fixed as time progresses.

how do you know that WI team had a 3rd string team? have you ever bothered to check that squad? that team had kemar roach, darren sammy and a few other players who should be experienced enough to beat a "weak" team like bangladesh.

An ODI world cup is going on and you guys are taking about snatching our Test status and giving it to Ireland, it just sounds plain dumb to me. We have beaten Ireland, England and Nehterlands, have 6 points, Ireland only has 2, every time Ireland gets on some good position I see some posters having a knee jerk reaction and talks about our test status. :facepalm:

Exactly, these guys are a bunch of jokers. Ireland beat England. Okay, Bangladesh also beat England. In fact, Bangladesh beat Ireland as well. And the Netherlands.

These guys are just upset that Bangladesh is catching up and one day might beat them as well.

Yes Bangladesh's progress has not been as quick as was the case for Sri Lanka. It has to do with several things, but I think they are on the right track now.

They have a good set of bowlers and some decent batsmen. They still lack the spearhead fast bowler and the anchor batsman, but they have a good and young nucleus.

If they are still at the same level in 5 years, then maybe we can have this discussion.

Plus they have been playing more competitive ODI matches lately.

personal grudges are correct,

Bangladesh's test record is still very bad, but I recon when the likes of Shakib, Tamim becomes 26 year or older, their maturity will do wonder for Bangladesh test matches. Currently not a single person is above 26 in the Bangladesh team year.

People are so ungrateful at times :facepalm: You did see what happened to Bangladesh in your own backyard when full strength West indies side played?...out for 58?..

scored 220 against Ireland in the conditions that your team was fully aware of?....

Don't get me wrong but Ireland can beat you and are probably showing improvement at a rate better as compared to Bangladesh. Its time they should be provided status and their progress should be checked in relative to Bangladesh who had numerous opportunities in last 10 years. I think Ireland would need only 5 years to get better based on the players they have.

Anyways how many test matches you've drawn??? can you please shed a light on that?

bangladeshis took the game lightly i think. before that game, bangladesh were ranked higher. i remember shakib saying it was not a must-win game.

who cares if they got bowled out for 58? they still managed to beat england and are still in the hunt for the quarter final spot.

the funny thing is, you are bashing bangladesh based on the performances against west indies and ireland. yet you are ignoring the beating we gave to england.

ireland can beat bangladesh but they lost to bangladesh in this world cup, why should you want to bash bangladesh based on that game? ireland lost 3-0 last time they toured bangladesh.

75 all out of Pakistan or India or any other test playing nation can be a random occurrence who happen to win test matches/ ODIs / T20s against any side not for Bangaldesh who happen to crumble most of the times.

Here's a better insight into Bangladesh's test record :

Played 68 test, won 3, lost 59 , drawn only 6.

Last 10 test matches - BD lost every test match over 100 runs or more than 8 wickets. Only two wins against WI 3rd string side. If I extend the period, the record looks even worse but i kept it to last 10 test matches.

Where's the improvement? talk with stats.

if you want to focus on test stats, why did you bring up the "58 all out"? also if you focused on the west indies loss, why did you not talk about the england victory?

yes, test record has been bad. but 2010 has been very productive for bangladesh. we have had 5 centurions and 7 centuries in 7 tests. we are finding decent test players, who within a few years may give bangladesh better results in test arena.

before 2010, the result was horrible i agree.

what is the obsession with HTB? what the hell is HTB? i can understand if a pakistani gives me lecture about HTB, but when an indian tries to lecture me about HTB that is really lame.

india got their butts kicked in south africa, if it was not for the umpires kissing the testicles of BCCI and ICC india could have lost the series 2-0 if not 3-0.

the so called no. 1 team should get their backside kicked too in england. only places india may win outside india are bangladesh, west indies and new zealand. i have a feeling india will choke if they play in pakistan.

my point is, do not give lectures about HTB when you are an indian.

if you see the ODI records of bangladesh (against non-minnows) from 2009, you will see there is a significant improvement.

if you want to measure everything based on stats, afridi and a few other players around the world should not play cricket at all. there are better players with better averages. stats do not prove anything. although i agree bangladesh used to be very pathetic, but now they are winning games more often. they need to be more consistent though.

I am sorry, not all Indian fans are bad, I've come across some who are quite nice and Intellectual on this forum itself. Don't generalize, not all Pakistani fans are saints either. There are good and bad fans in every country, so needless for you generalize about our fans. I just think you have a pretty weird opinion and a close minded person, that's just my opinion.

We don't have any problem with Ireland. Ireland have been playing excellent cricket, they do deserve test status. A vote for Ireland's status from a Bangladeshi fan.

Also, we don't mind If Ireland gets test status, but every time Ireland challenges a team, we see our name dragged along, it's not the first time, a week ago there was a guy who wanted to revoke our test status and give it to the Irish, thus came the creation of this thread by OP.

Exactly, well said. I don't see why we have to strip one team of their test status so we can give it to another. For crying out loud, cricket NEEDS TO EXPAND. I use to love watching Aus vs India but now is getting all rather tedious.

If Ireland get test status, its going to benefit BD and Zim too. They will have somewhat of a mini-pool amongst themselves and then slowly play better teams and at least they will be full-time players so they can work on their game. With the way West Indies and NZ are going, it won't be long till BD beats them in a test series vs their "full-strength" team.

People are so ungrateful at times :facepalm: You did see what happened to Bangladesh in your own backyard when full strength West indies side played?...out for 58?..


all teams collapse at some point or another. bangladesh also scored 283 against India and 227 against England. 58 is not indicative of anything.

scored 220 against Ireland in the conditions that your team was fully aware of?

Ireland are a solid side. they ain't pushovers just as England. they know how to play. watch the replays of that game, Irish bowlers bowled to their field to the T. off side packed, and not a single delivery drifting towards the pads. even top teams can't manage that.


Don't get me wrong but Ireland can beat you and are probably showing improvement at a rate better as compared to Bangladesh. Its time they should be provided status and their progress should be checked in relative to Bangladesh who had numerous opportunities in last 10 years. I think Ireland would need only 5 years to get better based on the players they have.


Ireland have beaten a lot of sides. They also been beaten by Afghanistan. It happens. England tied with India, but lost to Ireland. Does this mean Ireland is better than India?



Anyways how many test matches you've drawn??? can you please shed a light on that?

there have been at least a handful of tests we've almost won. you can draw a test and still be soundly out-batted, out-fielded, and out-bowled. thats one of the things people mistake for competiveness. The cite the example of team that drew a match in 1960 but was still 300 runs in arears at stumps. how is that competitive? i think the Bangladesh tests against Pakistan at Multan, West Indies (with Lara, Fidel Edwards, et al) at St Lucia, Australia at Fatullah (and this was the invincible australia, not the Australia Lite we have nowadays), South Africa at Mirpur, New Zealand at Chittagong and Wellington, England at Mirpur, Chittagong, and Lords were all reasonably closer than a "drawn" test from the 1960s where stumps was called with the "minnow" team still 300 runs behind with 3 wickets left.
