Dont ever forget that Bangladesh used to be that Associate.

If Denmark, Scotland, the Netherlands or whoever says 'We'd like to play', then the answer should be 'Show up and we'll find a ground', or 'We're touring X. If you can get close, we'll play'.

After all, if Bangladesh is in Australia, and the Dutch side says 'Steve Waugh says if you're going to be there, then Bankstown are playing away in the last week of February', then do you say 'You're only a slimy associate, we're a Test playing side, f.ck off', or do you say 'We're in, four days at Bankstown Oval and we'll split the meat pies and the hot dogs'.
