Reasons why Ban shouldn't lose its Test status so the female dogs can stop barking

[Dilscoop]

As far as I know, cricket is probably the only sport where they talk about taking away your rights to play the game, because you aren't just as good as the top teams.

The ICC has mentioned nothing about removing our Test status, so we have nothing to worry about (other than improving our performances on the field). But it's the lifeless haters that cry day in, day out that get to us. Wonder where they were in 09/10. One bad season with inconsistent scheduling and look how they come out of their holes. They go to CI and post their little "brilliant" ideas on what should be done to OUR test status. The nerve!

So here we are. Title says it all. Take it away.

1) Cricket is dying. You look at India, Aus, SA, WI, they can't get the fans to come to the stadium. Rain, fog, thunderstorm, black out, shitty performance, rear end whopping, our stands never go quite.

2) Shakib al Hasan. Nuff said.

Its not taking your right away to play the game. But taking away your right to play at the top level, taking away the right to play against the top teams when a team isn't good enough.

And this happens in every sport.

Bangladeshis are passionate about their cricket and turns up in volumes. That and Shakib, for mine.

Not defending the crappy performance here - but some of the so called pundits are just annoying. As if BD is the reason for crisis in cricket. Dont like them? Just dont watch and stop bitching about it.

Ditto. And it get's more annoying when people with no credibility starts crapping all over the place.

Great thread Dilscoop brother. I have always been a optimist cricket fan of Bangladesh Cricket/Tigers. We will be the best team in the world I tell you

[FagunerAgun]

If LK becomes the president of ICC, the bad umpiring problem against us will be resolved given that he will not become an Enamul Haque Moni. Buggers. . He will make everything digital.

[max410]

we got the test status after we beat pakistan in 99 world cup that does not mean we were ready for test cricket the great legend Gordon greeniche is a legend of cricket himself he mentioned BD was not ready for test even still now we play 7 test and loose 4 by innings in a year . ZImbabwe and sri lanka perfomed better when they got their status.
we dont have a proper first class cricket structure we need to play FC matches against teams like ireland ,netherlands and A teams or first class teams from India to buil dup the temperment for test cricket. None of these shakib ,tamim participate sin FC domectic league only nazimuddin did well in Fc league so he had that temperment going.
nobody in the world tolerates BD as a test team . Its becoming a laughing stock to the whole world we desperately need to do something about it..
none one our batsmen and players know the basics of cricket properly..
what the hell is BCB doing in order to improve our performance and develop players ... BKSP trainers are x -cricketer who don't know the basics of cricket themselves what will they teach our younger generations.. we just reply on natural talent but the talent needs to be developed properly...

^ You misread the thread title.

[lamisa]

OMG dilu, you are being nice and optimistic!

[LBW103]

Bangladesh will never lose Test status. We are far too important to world cricket. Plus the opposition players know they will do well and so will not wish to miss out. That's a sad fact I know but probably somewhat truthful.

So there is no incentive to genuinely tackle the issues that trouble us as a cricketing nation. We can carry on playing the same way for another 10 years and it doesn't matter. Why invest any money if there is no incentive (or punishment) involved? We got in the Test club and they cannot remove us from it.

[shakibrulz]

LBW103, with all due respect dude, can you stop bitching for a while? Thanks, no offense intended because it just get annoying when you go overboard like this.

[shakibrulz]

Obviously the thread is not for defending crappy performance - however the point is bashing BD as if they're the reason for test cricket stinking is absolute bullcrap. S I'd expect people to respect that fact, read OP PROPERLY first and then respond.

This is most likely another lose for BD, doesn't imply they need to be removed ASAP and magically all the problems are gonna be solved.

[Night_wolf]

Shakib al hassan deserves to play test cricket..so does Rayan T Doeschate..can we shag him to play for us?

@lamish: this is not optimistic thread. This is steal a realist thread.

[Dilscoop]

- Because we consistently make International matches a "tryout" for the rookie umps. No other team would let that happen (other than asso.).

Good observation. Even BD media is so quiet about it. It clearly shows how ICC likes to treat us.

And we fans are paying the price for their mysterious silence.

[al Furqaan]

# 1 reason: ICC continues to anally rape us with the umpire's decisions.

And this happens in every sport.

How about first taking away the right of shitty *** umpiring in all BD matches and at least giving them a fair shot at competing. You're not going to win this game by an innings and you're over-achieving batsman are damn lucky our fielders put down their chances to even have a lead. As a PAK fan you should know all about dropped chances. Just cuz you've beaten relatively weaker sides all year long doesn't mean you're a "top team". Even Zimbabwe and Bangladesh have at times exposed your sides limitations.

But I expect you'll keep hiding behind Tarapore and Doctrove's sunglasses.

[Dilscoop]

Crap, I didn't even see that post. That happens in every sports? If that was the case many of the NFL teams should be playing against the minor league teams. Many of MLB teams should be playing against their triple A teams

This would only happen in cricket world, a world that will never grow, a sport soon will no one play.

Cant compare leagues to test cricket
Leagues are based on money, players get traded, most players have equal facilities and exposure (since they all learned their skills in US, in similar conditions and facilities). Furthermore, if the franchise is really unsuccessful, it DOES get transferred to a different city. Players get transferred and traded every year. This all leads to a more or less even distribution of skill and talent in teams, and teams are more evenly matched. You can compare NFL with IPL, but not national teams.

National Cricket is different, cricketers learn their skills in varying environments. No two countries are the same. eg, Australia has a totally different domestic setup than Bangladesh. Home conditions are different, politics are different, and salaries are different. Indian players get paid millions while sri lankan players still havent received their payments from WC. Players dont get traded. This all leads to teams which are unevenly matched and theres a wide gap in skills/talent/mentality etc.
Comparing leagues and cricket is like comparing apples and oranges

Bangladesh will never ever lose its test status. Its way too important for ICC. Furthermore, BCB will always have the backing of PCB and SLC. PCB now needs BCB more than ever. This is precisely why Bangladesh was given test status (when it didnt deserve it).

Everyone says that Bangladesh should be relegated, and their Test status should be taken away. They point out the fact that countries like India, NZ, Pakistan, WI didnt lose that many tests. What they forget is that these countries got their test status when there was no ODIs, no T20. Players could only play test and were forced to do so. They already had a strong domestic 4-5 day cricket setup. So they learned to play test matches, and then moved to ODIs. For Bangladesh, it was the opposite. They started playing ODI before they got the test status. They didnt have a proper domestic setup. It may seem like a minor difference, but it is very difficult to learn test cricket from ODI. Test cricket is the ultimate test. You learn Test first, learn the skills, and then you can adjust to ODI and T20, not the other way around.

In my opinion, instead of relegating bangladesh, they should play more test, and avoid meaningless ODI and T20. their players like shakib and tamim need to play domestic competitions at home AND abroad. 4 day cricket that is, not limited overs. Get used to playing time, not overs. How often do Bangladeshis field for 150 overs? Obviously they are going to drop catches. They are not used to fielding for 2 days. Similarly when they bat, they play reckless shot, it all stems from ODI, simply because they are not used to bat for 90 overs. These habits develop because of constant supply on limited overs cricket.

^ Welcome to BC. Good start. Agree with everything you said.

Only thing I can argue is your first para; yes, I know all about that. I still mentioned about NFL, MLB, keeping those in mind, mainly because for baseball and American football and basketball those are the "International league," the highest level for those sports. They can't be compared to IPL, because IPL is a domestic league and is not the highest level of cricket. So to compare ICC with other sports (sports that I follow) I had to use NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL.

2ndly because I have no idea how FIFA works so I couldn't compare it to the ICC.
