For those who have followed cricket for a while, you will remember how Sri Lanka was regarded as a joke 20 years ago.
But now the can mix it with the best teams. Have 4 for the best batsmen in the world and the leading wicket taker.
I was impressed by the batting talent Bangladesh had. Its just they lacked the temperament for Test cricket. Playing the 5 day game like it was a T20 was never going to work. However this is problem of focus rather than ability and can be rectified.
Bangladesh has 7 times the population of Sri Lanka and in 10 years I see them playing at the highest level.
