ok, can anyone explain

Look, I am a big supporter of Bangladesh cricket team. Win of a single odi or test against any test country of bangladesh is a something very big for me, but I am confused from the following:
How long before Bangladesh win their first test? [11 votes total]

2 years (7) 64%
5 years (3) 27%
10 years (1) 9%

Can anyone explain why more votes went to the 2 years?

Answer is very simple, in 2 years we will be a force to reckon with

We are hardcore supporters - we want to be successful as early as possible.

Ok, let me reveal the secret. I was the only one who vote for the 10 years. Insh-Allah I will be wrong and you guys will be right, insh-allah. Assalamu Alaikum.

West indies in our own backyard without Lara and with their hearts broken by the Indians and some 'fluke' decisions by our umpires, we might as well look for a win in the next series.

have some mercy on us...:P

Tehsin bhai I am with you. This will be our best opportunity to get the first test win.

Mercy is for weaklings ... I have no mercy. I made sure BD had a good start before I left (I hope nobody takes this things seriously) went to bed knowing that we would do well (As in 150+ and take it close to stumps).

No mercy for West Indies too. If our batsmen can hang on, we should be able to put some dent into the West Indies batting and do some real damage with our umpires, Muhahahahahahahha.

If that doesn't work, how much rain is Dhaka getting this winter ?

I know you are excited and hoping for a quick turnaround, but are we seriously setting expectations so high as a first win against WI?

The team just played a "normal" day of cricket, which is great but only a baby step. Won't it take a few of those days to string together a Test win? If the team becomes consistent, then maybe their games become more competitive, but one innings where we didn't get blown out does not translate into a test win around the corner! But I join you in wishing for that day to come soon! Maybe we could be bold and schedule the current Pakistan team that is being thrashed by Australia?

I mentioned umpiring (apparantly our boys are getting some funny ones). Can we beat West Indies ? Only if they play really really (and I mean really really really .... ) bad and we play our best cricket since the first innings against India.

Also, I am a sucker for heart breaks. This is a perfect opportunity for some of us to get that 'feeling' back so we can get CRUSHED once again by .......................

Don't worry, we'll find other ways to make the best out of mediocre (even though 200+ to me is world class) performances. We always had.
