Bangladesh Status

I agree with Lilee that Test Status should be strip from Bangladesh as it would not make any sense for Aussie vs Bangladesh test series. Even Kenya who had good performances of late has to wait for test status then bangladesh is no way belong to test status.They got the status courtesy Ex-ICC Chief Dalmiya a bengali for a soft corner to bengali speaking nation.

Lillee is 110% correct

I whole-heartedly agree with the Great fast bowler, Lillee. Giving test status to teams like Bangladesh and letting them play in World Cups most definitely makes a mockery of the cricket records. Suppose tomorrow Sachin makes 400+ runs against the mighty Australian team and after sometime, some other batsman makes 500 against Bangladesh, he would erase Sachin's record BUT the million dollar question is can we compare the two innings? The answer is a BIG "NO".

A player shouldn't gifted a record so easily because he has chance to play too often with sub standard teams...
