Please note that 3 out of these 8 streaks are against Bangladesh, and one against South Africa more than 100 years ago, when they were worse than the present Bangladesh.

Let the current #1 team get a series of tests against Bangladesh.

Don't believe. They can also lose against Bangladesh. Indian team easily gets overconfident

Lulumba:

:) Bangladesh has played tests against all nations including the current #1 test team.

You won't know it by looking at the above records of course....

India played 7 tests against Bangladesh, (interestingly all 7 in Bangladesh) won 6 of them, and drawn 1 badly rain affected test (only 220 out of 450 overs were bowled in that match).

Huhumba Lulumba, I hope you are not trying to criticise the indian team?
Bangladesh is world no#1 team. It is a big achievement that india(rnk#8) has won so many tests against Bangladesh. Even Pakistan one of the best teams (#6) won easily against bangladesh by 1 wicket with the help of inzamams' century in the 4th innings. similarly, Australia (#7) another strong country also won easily by 3 wickets with the help of ponting's century in the 4th innings.
