Yes, the U19 stuff is not even FC, but the match between Aust and the ROW is the biggest joke of them all:@

In fact I may start a thread about what are the ICC's biggest stuff ups, or sell outs?

1. ROW having Test status
2. Changing the Pakistan match to a draw
3. Too many to choose from:wacko:

Yeah, no - I was just meaning that saying an as-if-positive then adding "Full-stop. Not" on the end is very much a 1990s-child fad. At least, AFAIK. Never heard of anyone much back beyond my generation doing it.

Let me get this right. You are suggesting that saying "Not" at the end of a sentance is a '1990s-child fad'?

Does that mean someone born in the 90s? or someone a kid in the 90s?

Given "Not!" got big after Waynes World in 1992 and then got old pretty quickly the people that will have used it the most will be now in their late 20s to late 30s.

I mean people who could broadly be classified as "90s kids". I'm certainly one of them; I'd say you could just about stretch to a year or two after me (1985) and would probably date back 4-5 years from me.

So, in short, someone born somewhere 1980-1987.

Someone who'd count Playbus (and would remember Playbus before it became Playdays) as one of their earliest TV memories; someone who'd remember the original MMPR and might well count it as a favourite; and someone who very probably knows who Mr Motivator was.

Well a) it's a tired subject and b) it was started by some idiot whose every post is pretty useless.

Bangladesh can improve their skills by playing test match.

Alok kapali is one of the best batsman , they also have habibul bashar.

they can help team in bad situations

IMO ICC should remove the Test Status with being a full member of ICC. Also the teams should not be forced to play Test Cricket against all full members. If Aus wants to play test only with England, India, South Africa, SL, WI, NZ then be it that way, but as a compromise to it it will have to host teams like BD, Zim, Ire, Afg, Neth against Aus A. However if Aus still wants to host BD for a Test Match (If both boards mutually agree) then they can definitely go ahead. It is mutual and not forced upon

Then teams like BD, Zim, Ireland, Afghanistan, Neth, Ken, Can, Scot, Nam, UAE can play Tests Amongst themselves as part of tours and also play 5 day games against A teams of Big 8. When a performance of a Team say Afghanistan starts coming good against the major 8, then the teams would definitely like to play against them.

This way the best format of the game would be preserved and there is a realistic chance that better teams have a chance to play tests and the Associate Team can also aspire to reach there.

I don't think they are forced right now. Australia out right refuses to play Bangers as far as I know.

Thanks mate.

Is Mortaza and Shahadat fit? if so, I reckon Bangladesh should stack their batting by including the 9 best batsman in the country and the two quicks.

Shakib, Nasir, Mahmudullah can all bowl a stack of overs.
