I am an ardent fan of the Tigers and as much I love to watch them playing competitive cricket, I hate to see them fail so miserably in Test cricket as they did against the Lankans. Let me put a fact on the table before I go any further. Bangladesh are in no position to continue Test cricket against higher ranked teams until they learn to play the longer version of the game with greater patience and better technique.

Despite our shortcomings, I am still very positive and patient and quite confident that our future is bright.
