that was reasonably encouraging from bangladesh, on the face of it herath and sangakkara made the difference, perhaps without one of them bangladesh would have been either able to bowl them out quicker or survive a lot longer in batting evening things up.
no discernible difference between the young guys in the squad, without the two established 35 year olds sri lanka would have been in a lot of trouble.
bangla really need to make sure this crop of players is developed though, they've been playing tests over 10 years so it is a mite worrying that their best players are still under 25. having a young squad is a fair enough excuse for still being slightly behind, but if they're team is made up of a whole new batch of youngsters in another 10 years you really have to ask why. (though the answer is probably in them not being paid enough in domestic cricket to make a long term career and not having access to proper coaching all year round)
