But since i have seen BD cricket lose time after time, being humiliated day after day,i see this 12 matches out of 16 as positives..we struggled to take the test to 3rd day..now finally we are taking it to 5 days..slowly but surely we would win. But for that couple of changes to the infrastructure needs to be done and i would agree with you about one thing that our management isn't interested about doing those changes
and we'll see what happens after ireland gets test status, better leave that argument for future

I have to disagree with you here. A team that is playing for 13 years should automatically take a test to 5th day. No exceptions.
Just like AUS is playing for 130 years and they are taking tests to 6th, 7th...10th day. But against India --
1st test - ended on 5th day (11 ov)
2nd test - ended on 4th day
3rd test - ended on 5th day. yay!! oh wait, day 1 was washed out. so still lost within 4 days
First test was drawn coz it was batting paradise. So blame condition and don't consider good batting performance. Second test was lost and outfield was super slow. Now don't blame condition AND consider below average batting performance.
