Congrats to them. They wrapped up 2nd test in day 4.
Re: Bengalis win the first ever series, in WI
:).. thats an achievement.
Bangalis know that they won against a B or even C team. No way they would have won against a full-strength Windies team - Gayle, Sarwan, Chanderpaul, Fidel Edwards etc.
Re: Bengalis win the first ever series, in WI
^ that is okay, but that is WIndies' fault, not Bengalis. In history, stats it will go down as "Bengladesh won their first Test match series"
Re: Bengalis win the first ever series, in WI
Even with the WI B/C team, the Bengalis came too close to lose.
Re: Bengalis win the first ever series, in WI
this is probably the only way bangalies can win a test series against a real test playing country.
Even with the WI B/C team, the Bengalis came too close to lose.
Exactly.
With a bit of luck it could very well have been the WI 2nd string side winning the series 2-0.
The end scoreline is very misleading. Both the test matches were pretty darn close.
But this fact will be buried under the statistics.
The truth is that the BD team suck in Test Matches and barring Shakib-ul-Hasan, nobody else in the team has close to Test Match temperament. They are only good for throwing up a few fluke victories now and then in ODIs and T20s.
