Is it really "far better"? Spitfire, I would say that statistically, we are only marginally better than we were a decade ago, and that marginal difference may matter to you or me, since we are fans of the Bangladeshi team, but to someone who isn't, is that marginal difference enough to warrant their support to let Bangladesh keep its test status?

I like both your solutions. I am trying to get a discussion going about why Bangladesh warrants a place as a test team, not how we can improve in the future. They are good solutions nonetheless and I like them.
