Winning a series, after series, is way more important than winning an odd match here and there - regardless of who it is. Any team can be beaten the odd time. But to win against the same opposition consistently (series wins) are a measure that progression is being made.
After that, consistent series wins against sides close to you, is the next step up the ladder. Then the odd series win against a Top 4 side is the step above that. Finally, winning equally against Top 4 sides - as Eng, Aus, Ind and SA does with each other - is the sign you are a world team.
Even the top sides lose so it isn't a shock for low ranked sides to win sometimes against them.

Well said Ian.
On this thread:Wining 4 out of 6 matches in a year is a good achievement and guess what!We won against India, SL and the WI twice now. Heck of a good performance. I will back the Tigers to win the series and head on for a Banglawash. I can smell it.
