Bangladesh is NOT a bad team
- Dr. Abdul Ruff

*************

Bangladesh is projected as the one of the weakest cricket teams around but there are hints to the contrary. Although it is ranking much below average in international cricket ratings, bogus and otherwise, recent cricket trends indicate, Bangladesh has been surprisingly the most successful ODI team in 2009, followed by India and Australia. Bangladesh played 19 ODIs last year, won 14 and lost five and had a winning percentage of 73.68. India had 17 wins from 31 ODIs, suffered 10 losses and there was no result in four matches. Their winning percentage was 62.96. Australia played 39 ODIs, won 23, lost 14 and two matches didn't have any results for a winning percentage of 62.16. Hopefully, Dhaka would make the best of forthcoming tri-series in Bangladesh and clinch the series with flying colors. Sri Lanka lost very badly in India. Best Wishes!
