The Ongoing test match between Bangladesh and Australia has made the cricketing fraternity around the world to wake up and take a look at the new power that's rising in the subcontinent. So far, after two days of cricket the match has been clearly dominated by Bangladesh and might be the biggest upset if Bangladesh continue on to win.Bangladesh has had odd victories in ODI's now and then, but nothing significant as yet in the longer version of the game.
What would be more relishing for the Bangladeshi fans is the fact that the man who leads Australia in this Test match is the one who commented that Bangladesh doesnt deserve Test status. The Bangladeshi's have given a fitting reply to the questions that Ponting had. This match is being played for pride more than anything else.
Who else would the Bangladeshi's need to trigger the downfall of Australia than whatmore, the man who masterminded the srilankan victory against Australia in the 1996 Worldcup. The Bangladeshi's now have a thinking coach and players willing to work hard, that is a good combination for any nation to have.
Australia definitely has the resillence to come on top from a situation like this. Like the little david said "If Goliath is that big", "then he's too big to miss! that is the spirit with which the Bangladeshi's have continued to play so far and irrespective of what happens in the next few days, this match has proved that a cricketing nation is in the rising and is also a testimony to the self belief that has brought them along since they stepped foot on the International scene 6 years ago.
