IIRC Aussies had tough times in BD last time they toured (back in Rafique, Bashar days). Many teams including India had survived a scare against them in their home turf. Yeah, I won't expect any major upsets, but still would be no way a one sided affair imo.Better players than Tammim have come to Australia and been found seriously wanting. Shakib is a different story, probably not at 6 though as he would suggest, but he would be better than Smith, who incidentally at this stage in his career in my opinion is also not a number 6, but will be in time. If you read his article he also suggested that he is keen to play Australia and they are climbing the rankings ladder. There is little to suggest that during his regime that things have improved as much as he has suggested. Or in fact that Australia are bad enough to lose to Bangladesh.
And I don't recall many openers being better than Tamim? (katman aside) Shakib would walk into the team purely as a spinner. His test batting's not that good atm but still is alright.
