looked every bit a side that had last played Test cricket 13 months ago,

When whim dominates common sense
Khondaker Mirazur Rahman
When whim dominates over common sense, no team can expect to escape humiliation
especially in Test cricket. No wonder, Bangladesh are paying the price
of being whimsical, in the short term – a shambolic defeat on Test return,
in the long term – more depressing developments are on the way. It takes
quite some time to build up an image, and yet it takes no time to tarnish
it. Bangladesh took a very wrong time to ruin its hard earned image in
a series which was branded as a grudge series, especially after the happenings
of March 17 in Trinidad and Tobago.

Mixed signals - CricInfo feature
Anand Vasu
After much excitement and an extended build-up,
the selection committee indicated, rather gently, that there was a way
for an Indian team to not contain Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly.
Though it's unclear just how much can be read from omissions and inclusions
for what is essentially a three-week tour to Bangladesh, the decisions
taken today send out mixed signals and seem to deviate from the Board
of Control for Cricket in India's directive to pick a "young team"
under Rahul Dravid.
