What's new

BD get 8 rating points after win against England

He arrived in the early of 1960's. And guess what? We won test series in New Zealand in 1967 and followed it up by defeating the mighty WI in 1971. Gavaskar's 771 runs in a test series by a debut player is still the best. I will consider my defeat when a new BD player gets more than 800 runs in a 5 test series on debut.

Add to that we defeated Australia and England in India long before 1967. Thirdly if you want to consider the era from 1932-1947 dont forget pak and bd were part of Indian test team too. And till 1971 you guys were part of Pak Test team.

Well, New Zealand was the Zimbabwe of that time...

Technically speaking, India's peers in test cricket include West Indies, New Zealand and much newer Pakistan. Comparatively, West Indies and Pakistan fared far better than India as its contemporaries... New Zealand though had a rough initial phase...

We were indeed part of British India and Pakistan but cricket was never taken seriously in Bangladesh till the late 1990s...
 
As a newest test cricketing nation BD has improved a lot, specifically in the last decade. But we have to do an uphill tasks in test cricket.
First , our first class cricket structures, schedule, timing and planning is too disorganised.
Second, school cricket ( Nirman school cricket) and age group cricket is aimless.
Third , our nation team selection procedure is too much complicated and biased. Some underperforming cricketers are permanent members of this team. And due to this very reason players from high performance unit can't make a call into the national team.
Thanks to the hip hop t20 cricket, with special reference to the ICL and IPL.
BDs later surge in ODI owe a lot to t20.
 
Maybe you guys never should have separated and see how many BD players make it to Pakistan national team.
When you lose points in a debate, you suddenly start talking your usual illogical assumptions. Get rid of your mental seize.

You call this a debate? BD team sucking cannot be debated, it is established 100% fact.
 
congrats to BD for moving up from rank 9 to rank 9

cricket was not popular in india either until the 80s which was also the time when india won its first world cup
 
And we didnt have Bangladesh, Zimbabwe or a weaker West Indies to record such wins sadly :(

Lets agree on one thing. Ireland would have been world beaters now if they were having test status for 16 years. They are already supplying players to English county and England cricket team,.

Ireland WAS a good Team ... lately they are being used as a Punching bag ... and Participating in ODIs are easier thr Parent country (England) fails most of the times to get on with the Elitist form of the game ...

The reason For ireland demise (just like Zimbawe & kenya of Yore) is that they were good in phases (era) due to some good players but not now with tht Strong Supply line the team is struggling ... Windies struggles due to same as well as NZL in not so long ago ... even Pakistan is not been able to up its game due to no play in the home and hence not THAT passion to join cricket for the 8-12 yr old kid as it used to be ..

SO i would still rate Bangladesh higher than Ireland and will put my bet on thm (Bangladesh) rather thn Ireland !

What punching bag? In a recent series with Afghanistan they equalised scored 2-2 before one match was cancelled. Even with full members Ireland is managing to score around 240-250 which is not bad at all. With more matches it will get better. Infact due to county, its players are getting better. Its just many of their players are new now.

And what sport BD was famous for before 1990's ?
 
Thats the disadvantage of playing against team with 40 or less points. Gain less lose more. Bangladeshi team will be playing its first test match in India, a single test match series, even a draw will make India lose points. Indian team's win is almost certain though.:p:

I m just responding to your notion that Ireland would have progressed far more than Bangladesh ....

ireland as in england would fail in Indian, Pakistan, Srilanka, UAE... they are no match for SA, Australia .. they are not able to stay 50 overs let alone 5 days ...

also irish pool of talent is far less than bangladesh pool of talent .. so No sir .. Yes Bangladesh is not Passing with Flying colours but is much better team than ireland is or would've !

You gotta be kidding dude...

India's first class cricket dates back to the late 19th century and by the beginning of the 20th century, cricket was pretty much the most popular sport, particularly in the western, central and northern India. There used to be a popular domestic tournament called the Bombay Quadrangular which used to receive jam-packed crowd. It was later replaced by the Ranji Trophy in the years leading to India's independence...

And what sport BD was famous for before 1990's ?

Football had been the most popular sport in Bangladesh till cricket replaced it in the late 90s. Heck, even hockey was more popular than cricket in those days...

Cricket began to be played professionally since 2000...
 
Yeah and beating BD senselessly again and again means nothing to India. The one way obsession is on full display yet again.
Again and again! You beat us only once this year and we had nothing to play for in that match.

I'm talking overall match record here.

BD barely plays any cricket at all to get enough action in just one year with ANY country.
 
Bangladesh cricket team is improving fast , Congrats Bangladesh ......
Like India, Bangladesh also puts too much concentration on cricket alone.... and many misunderstands patriotism with sportsmanship ... and since this is the only place where our countries are being projected to the world we see these matches as a war. Cricket is just a game and it has to be seen with sportsmanship. These matches has to increase friendship between the countries but currently it only increasing enmity between the countries.
