I am talking about Tests. The 2008 series only had 3 ODIs completed over 7 days (Aug-Sep, during Aussie home cricket calendar off season) and all played in Darwin. That's not a real official tour and had no games at the well known MCG, SCG, WACA, Gabba, or even Hobart.

^^^^ mufiiiii, dhora khaye evabe kotha ghurate hoy na.

anyway, regarding not playing in MCG, SCG, WACCA, GABBA, we can't blame Aus when we hardly get any full series in Aussieland. Even 2 years back we were not as good a team as we are now. And to be honest, weather of Cairns, Darwin suits BD. If we had played in Syd, Melb, Perth, we would have been dead in 2 days with a such deadly bowling line up of Aus during that time (test). Even we struggled to stand still against Aus B team in Darwin in 2008.

Thing is I just want to see our 'superstars' play in real Australian environments. Like playing in Lord's.

bilib it or not, last time we toured Aus in 2008, Rokibul was a beast

, he was our Mr.Dependable, I remember in 1st ODI he was probably the top scorer, he hurt his finger and was out of the series, I was like "gelo amader shob asha bhorosha"

Australia, NZ and Sri Lanka will not have a fearsome batting lineup. So it will be up to our batsman to be able to handle pace and bounce. Whether we can do that depends on our preparation prior to the tournament. I think Tamim, Nasir and Mushfiq will enjoy the conditions because they are strong square of the wicket. Anamul did very well in U19 WC in Australia as well. The big question is Shakib's batting form. If he clicks we can upset any team in that group. I hope we can go there early and play practice games to acclimatize

Good point.
