If they aren’t playing the first XI (I can only see maybe two ICL players coming into this line up), that is there fault. If Pakistan can play ICL players, Bangladesh can. Who was discouraging the child, not me, I said they had to win to prove they weren’t the wart, and they look like doing so. Nowhere in that line did I mention them losing their test status, I just thought they had to win this match to prove that they aren’t complete shit. I still do, if they lose this match they will have become a farcical rabble, but they look like they are going to win comfortably. I think Pakistan getting bowled out for 90 against one of the best teams in the world is different than losing to a Windies 3rds XI, but maybe I’m wrong.

Ha! That’s a pointless rant. I have heard this for upteenth time. Either you set up the criteria for playing test cricket and decide on Bangladesh’s status or stop discouraging the kids. If you criticize every time a child falls down, it will never learn to walk.

The Bangladesh side is also not playing their first XI. Remember the 13 players banned for signing for IPL? Well the good news is they have come back. They will be allowed to play from Dec ‘09. Don’t expect much from them, but there is always the scope for something better. And that’s what the status of Bangladesh is.

Would you question Pakistan’s bundling out for 90 against SL? Its a game.
