Seriously... some people have literally no idea about cricket. Reading their judgement of where BD is as a cricket nation and what represents good, is simply amazing.

Winning a series, after series, is way more important than winning an odd match here and there - regardless of who it is. Any team can be beaten the odd time. But to win against the same opposition consistently (series wins) are a measure that progression is being made.

After that, consistent series wins against sides close to you, is the next step up the ladder. Then the odd series win against a Top 4 side is the step above that. Finally, winning equally against Top 4 sides - as Eng, Aus, Ind and SA does with each other - is the sign you are a world team.

Even the top sides lose so it isn't a shock for low ranked sides to win sometimes against them.
