What a world cup its been for the young Bangladesh team. If their victory over New Zealand in the world cup warm up was dismissed as an inconsequential match, the win over their more illustrious neighbors from the continent was categorically attributed to the inability of the Indians to put it across rather than a well deserved victory for Bangladesh.
However, this should be the strongest statement made by the Bangladesh team to world cricket. They have comprehensively out played the numero uno in one-day cricket, South Africa by a huge margin. This should be proof enough that their earlier victories were no flash in the pan, but a sign of their growing emergence as a force in world cricket. What it has also done is opened up the super 8 for not just themselves but also England and the West Indies.
Well well .... I am a fan of this young team and will be watching them closely.
