Bangladesh Believes India Has A Weaker Bowling Attack

They do.

Let's see what happens in the rest of the tournament before we start these *ahem* knee-jerk reactions.

FFS, Bangladesh have just won their 4th game of any significance! :wacko: And people are ready to start championing them from the rooftops.

A fall is on the way.

Nonetheless, you could re-play that game and India would win it probably 19 times out of 20.
Maybe, but I think you could also say that Bangladesh would have beaten 9 out of 10 sides the way they bowled yesterday, imo.

I'm not "championing them from the rooftops".I am merely disagreeing with your assumption that India have by "far the batter side" which they most defenitely don't.They won only there "4th game of any significance" because most of the time they are playing the associates.

Oh, quite. That was almost without dobut the best bowling performance Bangladesh have ever put in. Not surprising, either - Razzak, Mortaza and Rafique are all more than decent bowlers, and they all had excellent figures.

But I can't see such a thing happening again any time soon.

No, they've been playing top-ranking teams since the 1980s. They've still been being annhailated in their games against the ODI-standard sides right up to this Cup (you saw the Champions Trophy, I presume?), and they remain massively inferior to the top 8. I'd be surprised if we see a performance as good as yesterday's for quite some time.

It was a freak outcome - Bangladesh playing better than a team which would normally be massively superior WAS a freak happening.
Ireland v Pakistan was a freak outcome.Bangladesh beating India was most certainly not.You could call India "massively superior" to Scotland/Holland but defenitely not Bangladesh.They are going to be a real force in 2-3 years in the one day game IMO.

That's huge overestimation of the timeframe.

When Rafique retires, presumably after this Cup, that'll make Mortaza and Razzak, possibly, their decent bowlers. Then Shahriar Nafees Ahmed and 1 or 2 others in the batting.

Their side is not yet as good as you paint them.

Come back to reality from your dream land.

India will be under more trouble in coming years as the retirements of Sachin, Ganguly, Kumble and even Dravid is looming in the horizon.

No real young talent is coming up to take the charge from them.

That's extremely unlikely in any case - and the matter at hand is here and now.

If you were to play that game again 20 times in the next month, India would win probably about 19 of those occasions.

Bangladesh has three to four young bowlers waiting to get national call.

After Rafiq retires we have Enamul Haque Jr. who is more than a decent bowler. After him Mosharraf Hossain who continuously troubled England A in recent series.

Both share the same style of Rafiq.
