Why doesn't Bangladesh Cricket Team call it quits?
"Try and try, one day you will succeed" Unfortunately, the saying doesn't seem to apply to Bangladesh Cricket Team. After recent white wash by Pakistan (5-0) in One Day series, I seriously wonder how long it will go on! Bangladesh has been playing International cricket since 2000. In seven years, they have consistently lost again and again. The test record is pathetic.
In seven years, Bangladesh has played 53 tests. They have lost 47, won 1 and drawn 5. That is about 2% success rate.
The one day record is slightly better though. They have played 177 matches, won 39 and lost 136. Success rate of about 22%. But looking closer, out of these victories, 15 have come against Zimbabwe, 8 against Kenya, 4 against Ireland, 3 against Scotland and 2 against Bermuda (I had almost forgotten Bermuda played Cricket!)
With all respect to Bangladesh Cricket, I would suggest they should make a call to give it up. 7 years of efforts have led them nowhere. Chances are, they won't lead them anywhere in future either.

Hi I noticed you commented on my blog. I was just going to answer your question. I use a Canon Powershot a570 IS...It's just a compact camera 7.1 megapixels...I'm really wanting an SLR but anyways thanks for taking a look at my blog.
Ok thanks!
So does that mean India should give up on soccer? :P
But Indian soccer team doesn't have the visibility like Bangladesh Cricket team. So not may person-hours are wasted watching their matches.
Let them play buddy!!!..
At least australian and south african players can make batting and balling records..and some of the guys in INdia can make double hundreds and triple hundreds against bangladesh..So tht we can be proud!!
I second..
