Al Furqaan, SL, in her early years, had done much much better than Bangladesh has done so far. She had beaten India and Pakistan within 3-4 years after getting test status. She had drawn plenty of matches even when her team was considered weak.
Don't want to compare Bangladesh with Zimbabwe. Before the white players rebelled, cricket was largely the sport for white minority there. She never had the frenzy about cricket like we have in Bangladesh for last ten years.
I have to admit our development in the longer version of cricket in last seven years is really poor. Only recently our cricket administrators have realized that we need to concentrate more in this area. I am yet to hear/see a solid long term development plan from BCB regarding this issue.
