Smith to go insane in second test. But Bangers should savour this victory with extreme gusto and relish.

If Mushy just needs to title 'Captain' to be happy and Tamim/Shakib can actually lead on the field then I have absolutely no problem with it.

Drop Shaiful for Liton Das and relieve Mushy with the gloves too, and we'll be so much stronger.
Also get monimul back in

Yeah and Mominul needs to be back. Also think handing the captaincy over to Tamim permanently wont be a bad move

Wade needs to go for Nevill
Cartright should come in next test for Khawaja and keep the gig if he proves to be decent over a few tests
Handscomb should be replaced soon by either Khawaja or Head if he doesn't step up and score more than pretty 30s.

And usually the coach is held accountable when their side loses.

Let's just take a moment to appreciate how far Bangladesh have come over the course of the last year.

From losing that heartbreaking first Test to England, beating them in the 2nd, winning to square the series in SL, and now this one. They've been involved in some fantastic games of cricket as well, along the way.
Semi-finalists at the Champions Trophy as well, though they had a bit of luck getting drawn with renowned minnows Australia and New Zealand.

Encouraging signs in NZ too? Collapsed mentally but got into some strong positions and didn't look overwhelmed by the conditions.

I'd just like to point out for the benefit of stephen that Australia is now ranked 5th.........3 points below NZ in the test rankings.

Well done you Deshi's!!

Great result though it was I get the impression that this is about as good a test as Bangladesh could have had

- win the toss
- Tamim puts up a good score in both innings
- Shakib and Musfiqur make runs in each innings
- Australia collapse twice
- Smith doesn't do much

The fact that it's so close anyway means I expect Australia to come back hard in the second test. Still backing 1-1.
