It seems like Bangladesh is winning their 'minnow' battle against England

[LA ICE-E]

i am not denying anything...i am not going over the moon over some isolated victories either...by consistent improvement i mean 1. winning more regularly against the good teams 2. fighting better even while losing instead of regularly getting thumped....once they start doing that on a consistent basis, i would say they have turned a corner, this is of course just about odis, tests are a different matter altogether...although if india go with a largely inexperienced side to bangladesh in may, they will quite possibly get an opening and if they manage to seize it, that will trigger an over-the-top celebration for tests as well...

Point is it doesn't matter how many games, it matters the time they need to improve greatly. He have improved a lot since they started but the improvement you are wanting to see needs time not games.

Our Indian (he's Indian I think) friend Anil is still too upset about India's ealry exit from the world cup. He watches Bangladesh's matches and remorses India could have been in the same place.

For those who think a country should get test status only after having a test level infrastructure and performance then we're not going to get any more cricketing power in any form of cricket. And if you think the newly elected test members should start winning only in a few years of time then you're far from reality.

but according to you a few weeks back, the only tournament that counts is the World Cup, so surely it is pointless looking at any other tournament!!!

Love it!

If you had even a pea size brain in your head, you would have noticed that there are many Indians on this forum who have been backing BD forever.

Yeah Sanz, that's a bannable post for sheer dickheadedness (word? spelling?)

Don't know why but some people here have the habit of taking things wrongly. I do know there are many Indians who are backing Bangladesh alright. What I wanted to convey is simply Anil, yes, you may retake a look at my previous post, it's one and only Anil, who is little upset. That's all. Don't tell me Anil represents the whole of India that blaming him means blaming India. I hope Sanz have the "pea" size brain to understand my point this time.

This "minnow" battle currently stands at 84 for 6

Anil has lot more credibility on this forum than your '4' posts on Internet. Spend some time on this forum before attacking a long standing member. And although Anil is very capable of defending himself or his posts, I just wanna say that he is one of the most unbiased posters on this forum Indian or not.

And no you dont have any point except for attacking a member for honestly speaking his mind and you will do the same for other members If they said anything negative about Bangladesh. So first 'Grow a brain' and then post else you will be thrown to the 'BingLee Planet' very soon.

you can presume to know what i think, you would just be plain wrong...

And you this how exactly? Anil has had views related to Bangladesh for quite a while far before India's loss to Bangladesh. Try to go into debates about points rather than indulging in baseless allegations.

Well england haven't batted yet.

It's a bit much to be judging people on the forum having just joined, isn't it? As others have already said, Anil has held his views for as long as I can remember and even though I largely disagree on this issue, I know he hasn't suddenly found his views because of what's happened in this World Cup. Seriously, you may want to get to know the people around here a bit better before accusing a respected forummer of such a view.

I think the point about giving a side "time" refers to the fact that you've got to get at least one generations worth of new players in after they've been introduced to Test level. You can't expect the guys who are around when the side is first introduced to have limitless potential for improvement. By introducing Bangladesh earlier, we are seeing a faster evolution in the quality of the next generation.

Numbers telling everything (or not?)! Well, I didn't read all posts of Anil but the few in this thread. I wrote in my first post what his these few things here suggested. Well, Anil has nicely pointed out that I'm wrong to think what he thinks, never mind. But Sanz, looks you need to grow your pie size brain this time. No idea why you are making a mountain of a molehill.

Loving the tongue in cheek nature of this thread, especially now the Bangladeshi's are 121/8

....and now 143 all out! I guess england are winning the minnow battle!

 

[tigerPassion]

This match really doesn't matter as Bangladesh defeated two top teams till now while England haven't defeated even one.

 

[Swervy]

with glee!

[chris.hinton]

[Sanz]

Well BD have done a good damage here despite losing
