It was nice while it lasted. For a couple of short weeks, one day internationals were exciting again. The World Cup had us interested, India was rapt, Ireland was thrilled, England was…not as surprised as they would have liked to have been. Then came Australia’s ongoing tour of Bangladesh, and all that hard work has been undone.

Although it might not seem like it from a distance, Bangladesh are improving steadily. A glance at their performances the last time they were in England proves it. Today they showed that England are in for a fight.
Jonathan Trott scored an untroubled 175 on the 1st day of the 1st test against Bangladesh. Another 25 runs will see him break one of the unspoken rules of English cricketing etiquette.

Bangladesh are slowly improving, but their experience is limited mostly to the dry roads of the sub-continent and the Caribbean. It’s hard to imagine them mustering much resistance in English early summer conditions.

It’s only 10 months since the last edition, but I am strangely exited about this tournament in a way that it’s impossible to be about the IPL right now. The format is lean and snappy, the cricket will be competitive and it’s genuinely hard to call this one, although I am going to have a go.

All of the fuss over the West Indies contract dispute could be either a blessing or a curse for the Bangladesh team.
