New Zealand in Bangladesh

Bangladesh shouldn't have given Test status in first place. Kenya were more deserving than Bangladesh at that time but with the current politics in Kenya right now Kenya too do not deserve a test status.
I think ICC should act fast and implement the two tier system for test matches. The test matches in second tier then would be more competitive and the top team in second tier can then play the one team from the first tier every year or so.
I am surprised that there are sponsors for Bangladesh test series.

By the way Bangladesh suxxxxxxx
I do not know if this is the right place to ask this question but does anyone know what is the highest number of test matches a team has played to win a test match after the team started playing test matches?
Bangladesh would not qualify as they have never won a test match.

New Zealand played 44 matches before getting their first win in their 45th.
Bangladesh have played 31 matches, so they haven't quite passed that mark yet.
Australia are the only team to have won their first test match.
Other teams are as follows. Number in brackets is the matches they played BEFORE their first win (ie. not including the first win)
England (1)
India (24)
Pakistan (1)
South Africa (11)
Sri Lanka (13)
West Indies (5)
Zimbabwe (10)

Thanks Andrew. Good stats there. I guess we are being harsh on Bangladesh then. They have a good 14 matches to lose to go into the record books for another wrong reason.
Do you know which team did India beat in their 25th match to record their first victory?
Thanks.

India's 1st win came against England in 1952.

If you read what I posted, it is quite clear that Pakistan played 1 match before their first win.
Bangladesh beat Pakistan in a ODI in the 1999 World Cup. That match did not give them test status. They were given Test status in 2000 after a meeting by the ICC. Their Test status was given solely on the following for cricket in the country and not on previous performance.
