Weak team or not at least they care about ODI cricket unlike the English (who only care about the Ashes). And the less said about the Windies, the better.<br /><br />Here is what Dileep P wrote on his blog:<br /><br /><i>As for poor Bangladesh, they continue to be the ugly sister of international cricket. Their win percentage (15 from 40 games) is better than both England and West Indies, and a couple of their players, especially the outstanding Shakib Al Hasan, would walk into both sides. Instead, they must watch events in South Africa from the sidelines, while two mind-numbingly mediocre sides make up the numbers.<br /></i><br /><br />That pretty much sums it up.Leelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16006398820315902811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-26811323107931406872009-09-19T21:47:00.875+05:302009-09-19T21:47:00.875+05:30Sameer, I beg to differ. When our victories agains...Sameer, I beg to differ. When our victories against India and SA came, we didn't expect it. Our players were terribly young, still getting over the fact that they are actually playing against the same people they grew up idolizing. That and the lack of self belief. <br /><br />It's not an excuse. I agree with SP, our stay in the infancy stage has dragged out for too long. But the view on cricket has changed in Bangladesh. New players are coming in and seeing it as a serious career prospect. Something that was not there before. I don't think the Windies care much about cricket anymore. Nobody shows up to their games, players don't get paid well and they simply don't give a crap about playing for their country. Something the first XI is proving to the world. If Bangladesh were given this chance they would have taken it as an opportunity for growth. The Windies wouldn't.Purnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07406042181818223918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-2666628562982273312009-09-19T20:41:17.809+05:302009-09-19T20:41:17.809+05:30good idea but then BD too are inconsistent rookies...good idea but then BD too are inconsistent rookies. new players thrown in the ring and disappear too soon!!<br /><br />what good did victories against India and SA in World cup did to them ?<br /><br />dont know but they are no different from current West IndiesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-57674702998559434942009-09-19T19:42:54.252+05:302009-09-19T19:42:54.252+05:30welcome anorak...

SA scored 388!<br /><br />As for the ODIs are boring tagline, I don't really buy that. There are some folks who are bored of the slam-bang T20 or don't appreciate the huge impact that luck can have in T20. ODIs need "real skill" and patience. You've got to maneuver the middle overs between 20-40.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
