good partnership this, shame Bangladesh look so different to the winning side the other day, why we persist to play the little teams is beyond me....bring on a two level international system I say!

Bangladesh aren't going to improve at such a rate if they are playing sub standard opposition and do not bring in the sort of money available at international level. I say keep them!

I think he has a chance of 200. Runs are flowing at the moment.

Well, they are, but it is a slow process.

New Zealand took forty years to win their first test series (1969) and a further decade to win their next (1980).

personally I think they'd improve playing similar standards as apposed to getting thrashed every week then winning one match in 24!!

they have had victory against every test playing nation now, and are improving. They are just a bit of a one man Tamim, I mean team

Sri Lanka would be a better example to follow.

I saw that coming from Luke. His place in the team may be rather insecure. So many failures this series.

Indeed, yes. Good point.

Bangladesh have a huge population and there are some bright stars coming through. Just a bit of patience is needed.
