They were awful and soundly crushed in the first test match. Whilst they played the Windies 13th XI last year and still couldn't put them away with any conviction. Pak unless they are match fixing, would put them away in their sleep.their first bad game after a while I would still back Bangla to win a home test vs Pak,Nzl and Wi.
Wi possibly. Pak and NZ are clearly better sides however.their first bad game after a while I would still back Bangla to win a home test vs Pak,Nzl and Wi.
thought they were ok in the first game their bowling is not flash for these conditions otherwise could have cause few jitters when England chased 160 yes they are still loosing games but are not as poor as they use to be.They were awful and soundly crushed in the first test match.

Are you lot being serious? in the past year we've beaten England and put up a fight in Australia and all of a sudden Pak and NZ are better than us and Bang can beat us? excuse me wasn't Pak soundly beaten in Oz? wasn't NZ also easily beaten at home to Australia? granted we haven't covered ourselves in glory in the short form of the game against South Africa recently (even though we should have won at least three games) but our best players forte remains the Tests and i'd expect us to put up a fight in the up coming Test series, despite having some of our best players missing.Wi possibly. Pak and NZ are clearly better sides however.
I think WI are clearly a better team than Ban, but I wouldn't put it past them to fail in Bangladesh given their current troubles. Its a possibility. No need to get offended.And

No you haven't...in the past year, England haven't been beaten by anyoneAnd

Oops, pardon me i meant LAST YEAR we beat England, which wasn't that long ago!! , SL, NZ and Pak haven't beaten any of India, England, South Africa or Australia in years.No you haven't...in the past year, England haven't been beaten by anyone
I'm not getting "offended" i'm just putting some facts on the table, we aren't as bad as some people seem to be suggesting and our record over the past year and a half proves that.I think WI are clearly a better team than Ban, but I wouldn't put it past them to fail in Bangladesh given their current troubles.

Ok. I think WI would win, but there's a possibility they could fail. Happy?I'm not getting "offended" i'm just putting some facts on the table, we aren't as bad as some people seem to be suggesting and our record over the past year and a half proves that.
SL beat India less than 24 months ago.Oops, pardon me i meant LAST YEAR we beat England, which wasn't that long ago!! , SL, NZ and Pak haven't beaten any of India, England, South Africa or Australia in years.
In 2008 right? which is why i said "in years", there's not a big difference.SL beat India less than 24 months ago.
That'll do!! .Ok. I think WI would win, but there's a possibility they could fail. Happy?
Inclined to agree. It'd be close, currently. Think the Zimbas have more heart as a team too. Bangladesh's capitulation today was pretty unedifying, really. For Kayes to get out hooking for the second time in the match was unforgiveable. Siddons must have been doing his nut watching it.I think Zimbabwe might be a better team.

You've made a good case. West Indies can join Tier 3.And

This forum is so biased. Two losses to the Zimboks, and yet nobody's asking the more pertinent question: Is India good enough to join tier 3?You've made a good case. West Indies can join Tier 3.
They need to spend a few more years proving themselves against Ireland and Afghanistan imo.This forum is so biased. Two losses to the Zimboks, and yet nobody's asking the more pertinent question: Is India good enough to join tier 3?
