come on bangladesh..! good squad there, javed omar with the bat, and tapash baisya with the ball, just won for the first time ever so i am not rulling the bengalis out for a minute.. should be a good series, hope to not be dissapointed. what do you guys think, one-sided or contest?

[carl johnson]

thanks for the test squad of bangaldesh and the fixtures.

[themuel1]

England will win 2-0 in the series. No contest.

[skater]

I think that England will win by one test match. Bangladesh will not win a match at all, but one of the matches will be abandoned as a draw or the weather.

England have by far the stronger team, but they cannot be complaceant or they could get an India-like surprise defeat.

This is just before the Ashes too so England may be focusing more on that.

I wonder... this is a difficult time to play a lower team.

[stevie]

Unless the weather intervenes, this will finish 2-0.

[zMario]

2-0 win for England,

and just to comment on the natwest series, I wanna watch Australia vs Bangladesh

That was in the ODI's, India beat them fairly comprehensively in the tests if I remember correctly.

[Aseem Ralhan]
