*Official* Bangladesh vs West Indies

Yeah, they are just being used as whipping boys by the established teams. They are so clearly out of their depth. Forget winning, they should atleast try to give a good account of themselves. Instead, it's just been one massacre after the other.

They'll get there...

An optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty, eh Anil?

And Lawson needs hearty congratulations for that spell. Yeah, it was Bangladesh, but no one else has taken 6-3 against them have they?

I have always rated Kenya above Bangladesh but I believe the reason why Bangladesh was picked first was because of politics in Kenya & that they really have no system.

I know Bangladesh is attempting to establish a proper system.

British is racist as well, why wasn't it a PIA jet? :lol:
It was because I can't think of an Indian company off hand...

So you're ignorant and racist?!

I guess at this stage you're hoping if you keep digging a deeper hole, you'll popo out in Australia in time to see the VB Series right? :lol:

I am not belittling the West Indian achievement. It's just that the opposition could have put up more of a fight.

Bangladesh Show fight... as they peg West Indies back...

West Indies at lunch are on 149/5 still 50 odd runs behind the visitors score.

Oh ok so it's not super but it's an improvment from past performances...lets hope they can finish the lower order/tail off quickly and post a respectable target....

Excellent job by Bangladesh. Credit is given where credit is due and they seem to be improving rather nicely. They kept WI to a lead of about 100 and are 40/0 at stumps. Congratulations!

We need Bangladesh to put in a few more performances like this, so as to stop everyone saying they should be chucked out of test cricket and that they are a disgrace to the game. :(

Anyway on with the cricket... WI won by 7 wkts after dismissing Bangladesh for just over 200, leaving just over 100 for the West Indies to chase and win the test and series.... which they did 3 down.

Well done to both teams...a massive improvement by Bangladesh.... they just need to score a few more runs now, they seem to get bowled out in the 100's a little to offten...and their bowling seems to have improved alot to...bowling the WI out for under 300 isn't a bad job, considering the talent in their line up.

The batsmen all have the talent, they just need to show the application and focus not to play stupid shots and throw their wickets away.

Alok Kapali has shown what they're capable of :)

Come on Bangladesh!
