    Mashrafe Mortaza

    Mashrafe was clearly the fastest and the best bowler on show yesterday (way better than those Indians). He was bowling at around high 80s and his fastest was 90.5 mph (plus he swinged it both ways). Its good to see him getting his pace back. He was forced to bowl around low 80s for the last...

    England 'A' loses to Bangladesh 'A'

    The difference in class between the Bangladesh and Bangladesh 'A' team is quite significant. Bangladesh 'A' is becoming quite a match for opponents like England 'A' , Sri Lanka 'A', etc. Domestic teams of Sri lanka, New Zealand, England are surely worse than their second string team. So in no...

    England 'A' loses to Bangladesh 'A'

    It is not embarrassing to lose to this genuine Bangladesh 'A' team as they have recently drawn unofficial test series with Sri lanka 'A' and lost the 'ODI' series 2-1 in home soil about a year ago. They also defeated the Zimbabwean national team one nill in a 2 match series. An all Australian...

    They did have six England internationals in Kirtley, Broad, Prior, Bresnan, Loudon and Yardy and future England hopefuls like Adil Rashid.

    England 'A' loses to Bangladesh 'A'

    May be Matt Prior would have been a better choice than Nixon. He scored heavily throughout the series. Also Adil Rashid has to go a long way before he can be successful against quality oppositins. He gave away 41 runs from his 6 overs.

    Should Kenya be given test status

    Not that it will never change.Slavery did go when southern forces were defeated but the mentality of some of those Southerns took time to change. Time is what is needed for these types to change, so dont worry about it mate.

    Should Kenya be given test status

    That's according to you and to the best of my knowledge not the majority of sports loving people. To most sports loving person, a sporting meet needs both 'Man U and Man City', 'Alonso and Kubica', 'Federer and Spadea', Sri lanka and Bangladesh', unless ofcourse you believe in a elitist society...

    Should Kenya be given test status

    There is more to it than this.Being successful in ODIs won't be bringing success in the longer version of the game too. Bangladesh would never be able to compete at test level until their first class cricket structure is strengthed. A country where club cricket is still preferred over first...

    Should Kenya be given test status

    Not all teams are equal. Otherwise Rodger Federer and Vincent Spadea wont be playing in the same tour and Man U and Man City won't be playing in the same league. For the last 2 years Bangladesh have been winning enough matches in limited overs matches. As for test matches I agree that...

    Should Kenya be given test status

    So winning about 20% of their matches against the top teams don't make them eligible to play the stromger nations. Do you have any idea of the win percentage of Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in ODIs in the first 10 years they got test status.

    Should Kenya be given test status

    Bnagladesh lost 80% of their last 20 limited overs matches against the Top 8 and won 95% of their 20 limited overs matches against Zimbabwe, Kenya and the associates. So the difference between Bangladesh and the Top 8 seems less than the difference between Bangladesh and the associates...
