I was living in Sri Lanka when I went to Dhaka so I jumped straight from one cricket crazy nation to another. Unlike one-time world champions Sri Lanka though, Bangladesh have taken it up quite recently and with rather less success so far!
In 2000 the Bangladesh 'Tigers' became the 11th official Test-playing nation. Since then they've played 20 one-day internationals and 26 Test matches... and haven't won a single one! They did technically manage a draw against the West Indies but only because it got rained off. Sorry guys but more like pussycats than tigers at the moment!
I'd love to be in Dhaka when they do finally win though, as all these losses haven't dampened the local enthusiasm for the sport and it's played by pretty much everyone, pretty much everywhere.
