Bangladesh ‘no more minnows’ eye England scalp

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, April 10, 2007 (AFP) – Bangladesh hope their spin king trio can bamboozle England, just like they did South Africa, and boost their bid for a World Cup semi-final place on Wednesday. . The left-arm trio of seasoned Mohammad Rafique, effective Abdur Razzak and emerging Saqibul Hasan spun Graeme Smith’s side to a humiliating 67-run defeat in Guyana on Saturday – their first ever win over South Africa.

The win was only Bangladesh’s fifth over a major Test playing country in 155 matches and they now seek their first over England in eight matches.

“If we beat England we get closer to the semi-finals but for that we have to work really hard,” said Bangladesh captain Habibul Bashar ahead of the match against struggling England at the new-look Kensington Oval.

“Definitely we need to play consistent as well.
