2012 is drawing to a close and it has been a rather very short year, in terms of cricket played, but arguably our best calendar year, in terms of challenging the G8 teams and notching up wins in emphatic style. Wait! That was only in the ODI's.
A lot of emphasis was given to T20 with the WT20 in SL and we fared pretty horribly in that format with all the preparations. Asia Cup performance and the WI series win at home in the ODI's, gave us a lot to cheer about. And we played reasonably well in Tests, if we go by our cliched quote, "We took it to the fifth day!"
So, this thread is to reflect back on the year and share, either in words or in videos, your favorite Bangladesh moment on the field. I have made it easier for you and provided a list of all our matches in the calendar year across the formats:
