Since the worlc cup, they have not won a single ODI against top sides which proves that their WC wins against India and SA was just a fluke. Nowadays teams play against BD to improve their averages. The games involving BD and Zimbabwe with other sides should not be treated as official.

You guys still can not digest India's big defeat against Bangladesh in World Cup. The truth is Bangladesh defeated India & South Africa in WC, if you call it a fluke or whatever you want to. Bangladesh is a little boy in cricket, if you look at it from their experience or players' age. Most of the players were 17/18 - 20 boys; India is a GROWN MAN in cricket world, in experience and in players' age. When a little boy can take all the cloths off from a GROWN MAN in BIG STAGE, the little boy has to have some strength, or else he couldn't strip off the BIG GUY. hahahaha..thats simple logic..wheather you guys admit it or not.

It is not the question of digesting India's big defeat against BD in WC. India deserved to loose on that day because they did not play well and BD outplayed India. You cannot argue that BD is little boy in cricket becausse the same team beat India and SA in WC. If they chose to play young players it is their choice because they think that these players are the best BD has. I am not saying this for just BD but also for Zimbabwe. Just watch their games, it is pathetic, worse than Ranji standard. Every opposition side are breaking records by playing against these teams. No matter what your argument is,BD still has a very long way to go before they can be considered as good test side. ODI is different altogehter, if you have one good session then you can win, whereas in tests a team has to play consistently well over 8-10 sessions to win the game and both BD and Zimbabwe (based on recent performances) do not look like doing so, anytime soon against good teams. Until they are able to do so, they should play first class cricket.
