A Contest shaping up in Mirpur

The three matches between the current Test sides were rather tame.while the dutch produced some excitement at Nagpur,the Irish are playing a rather good game in Mirpur.With some tight spin it is possible that Bangladesh may somehow pull a win, but instead of eliminating Associates from the next World Cup, it might be a good idea to let only the top six have automatic places and the remaining sides may play a qualifying tournament to bring two remqining teams for the final eight who can play three weeks of interesting cricket as in 1983.

1983 produced some great drama in retrospect.The wooden spooner of 1979, India and qualifier Zimbabwe saw to Australia's exit at group stage and India went on to win going on to prove that past performance don't quite matter in a short competitive tournament.
