One question, how long will it take for bangladesh to become number 6-7 in tests... (and realistic answers, not like ''oh, february the 19th''.

Basiacally, although bengladesh always plays to win... they need to adapt to ''drawing'' games... That way points are eaasily available

According to the rankings FAQ, 100 points indicates a team that is more or less 50-50 in its W-L record against the major teams. 120 is the benchmark of being one of the strongest teams at that moment.
Our current point is 66.28. That 100 point marker needs to be our next goal by keeping our win-loss ration close to 50-50. That 100 point will keep us close to the middle between the 5-7 rankings. If we have a decent world cup and follow up with keeping the next few series' close, the august reset will give us a big boost as the 2008 record (where we had 5-21 with wins vs. UAE, IREx3, NZ) will disappear.
I'm not sure of the math but I think our gap with NZ and PAK could close in more due to that.

historic day...i feel we are stronger than WI, we can use home conditions to our advantage...we will tussle with NZ since they have such a big lead on us points wise.
i have come up with a ranking scheme, and will try to iron out any remaining kinks in it...will start to update it after the WC is finished. i think ICC should do this anyways since the ODI league will start from after teh WC.

Meh, #8 is for pink pampers wearing unicorns. #1 is where we need to be. That, or win the World Cup.

Thanks for reminding the important strategy for Test Cricket ranking that a draw means a lot. It does not have to be win all the time like boxing current champion does not loose his title unless defeated. For this, team has to be without of too many impulsive at once for test format. We had bunch of those up until now. Australia slumped steeply down after few cool heads retired at once.Someone has to hold the ground in second innings. All the gallery players will be in T20/one-day format.
Right now, we have come a long way to 8th in ODI. We have great pool of players for both formats now. India uses Dravid and Laxman for tests and Rohit Sharma/Yusuf Pathan for T20 wisely. I favor Mahmudullah/Naem than Ashraful/S. Nafees. I think we should experiment with Mahmudullah coming after Raqibul.
Another strategy could be spinner combinations- Bangladesh has the best trio of SLA's-Sakib, Razzak and Shuvo. A full time off-spinner could add diversity in attack, specially outside the continent.
Mahmudullah/Naem should not be considered a specialist bowler. Shafiul and Rubel are great pacers.
Coaching staff will now face the burden to identify players for the right format.
Hoping for the brighter day in Test for Bangladesh!!

For BD, 8th is something great, because 8 seems to be the catch word of ICC for all sorts of things. Like fixture of WC, first eight is divided first. For two tier again first 8, for relegation/Minnow tag after 8th spot .. etc etc. Considering our threats from the critics/ICC reorg formulas, if we can confirm 8th position & hold on to it with a lead from WI, we will enter permanently in elite G8. That's an achievement by itself and bigger than anything at this moment.

Don't worry. They will just call it the G9 from then on...
Still congrats to BD and the boys for climbing us up the ladder

বিশ্বকাপের উত্তেজনা বাড়িয়ে দিলো র্যাঙ্কিং: সাকিব
প্রধান নির্বাচকের কাছ থেকে অভিনন্দন বার্তা পাওয়ায় সকালটা বেশ কাটলো অধিনায়ক সাকিব আল হাসানের। এরপর অনেকগুলো ফোন কল এসেছে শুভেচ্ছা বার্তা নিয়ে। প্রতিউত্তরে সাকিব ধন্যবাদ দিয়েছেন। খুশির খবর বটে, একদিনের আন্তর্জাতিক ক্রিকেট র্যাঙ্কিংয়ে উন্নতি হয়েছে বাংলাদেশের। অনেকদিন নবম স্থানে পড়ে থাকা দলটি উঠে এসেছে অষ্টম স্থানে।
বাংলাদেশের ক্রিকেট ইতিহাসে এরচেয়ে ভালো সময় আগে কখনোই আসেনি। সুতরাং অভিনন্দন বার্তা পেতেই পারেন অধিনায়ক। এই অধিনায়কের নেতৃত্বেই তো ওয়েস্ট ইন্ডিজ থেকে টেস্ট এবং একদিনের ক্রিকেট সিরিজ জিতে এসেছে বাংলাদেশ। শুধু সিরিজ নয় একেবারে ধবলধোলাই করে এসেছে। সবচেয়ে আকর্ষণীয় সিরিজ খেলেছে ঘরের মাঠে ক্রিকেটের অন্যতম পরাশক্তি নিউজিল্যান্ডের বিপক্ষে।
বিশ্বকাপের সাবেক সেমিফাইনালিস্টদে ও ধবলধোলাই দিয়েছে সাকিব বাহিনী। অধিনায়েকের জন্য গর্বের বিষয়, ভিভিয়ান রিচার্ডস, গর্ডন গ্রীনিজ, চার্লস ব্রায়ন লারা এবং ক্রিস গেইলদের দেশ ওয়েস্ট ইন্ডিজকে পেছনে রেখে বিশ্বকাপ খেলতে যাচ্ছে বাংলাদেশ। সেই দলের নেতা সাকিব।
একদিকে যেমন খুশির খবর অন্যদিকে চাপও বটে। র্যাঙ্কিং ধরে রাখার চাপ, ভালো খেলার চাপ। অধিনায়ক সাকিব মনে করেন,“র্যাঙ্কিংয ে এগিয়েছি আমাদের জন্য খুবই ভালো খবর। বিশ্বকাপে ভালো খেলতে প্রেরণা যোগাবে। সঙ্গে একটা বাড়তি দায়িত্ব এবং চাপও থাকবে। কারণ এই বিশ্বকাপেই ওয়েন্ট ইন্ডিজের বিপক্ষে খেলবো। বিশ্বকাপ শেষে আবার র্যাঙ্কিং মূল্যায়ন হবে। খারাপ করলে পিছিয়ে যাবো। নিশ্চয়ই সেটা শোভন দেখাবে না। আমরা যদি সপ্তম স্থানে উন্নিত হওয়ার জন্য খেলি সেক্ষেত্রে হয়তো অষ্টম স্থান থেকে পিছলে পড়বো না।”
২০০৯ সালের জুন মাসে মাশরাফি বিন মুর্তজাকে অধিনায়ক করে ওয়েস্ট ইন্ডিজ সফরে যায় বাংলাদেশ। প্রথম টেস্টের তৃতীয় দিন চোট পেয়ে সিরিজ থেকে ছিটকে পড়েন নিয়মিত অধিনায়ক। সহ-অধিনায়ক সাকিবের ওপরই দায়িত্ব বর্তায়। ওই বছরটা অধিনায়ক থাকবেন সাকিব। ২০১০ সালে মাশরাফি কেবল এশিয়া কাপ এবং ইংল্যান্ড ও আয়ারল্যান্ড সফরে নেতৃত্ব দেন। বাকি সময়টা সাকিবের কাঁধে থাকে নেতার দায়িত্ব। তবে কোচের পদে কোন পরিবর্তন আসেনি। জেমি সিডন্স তিন বছরের বেশি সময় ধরে দায়িত্ব পালন করে আসছেন এবং বিশ্বকাপ পর্যন্ত থাকবেন। সেক্ষেত্রে জেমিও অভিনন্দন পাওয়ার যোগ্য। প্রধান নির্বাচক রফিকুল আলমের কাছ থেকে অভিনন্দন পেয়েছেনও। বাকিরাও হয়তো অভিনন্দন জানাবেন।
বাংলাদেশের অগ্রযাত্রা শুরু হয় দুই বছর আগে থেকে। ২০১০ সালের পারফরমেন্স সেই পথ মসৃণ হয়ে আসে। বছর শেষ হওয়ার আগেই ওয়েস্ট ইন্ডিজকে পেছন থেকে ধাক্কা দিচ্ছিলো বাংলাদেশ। শ্রীলঙ্কার কাছে গেইলরা সিরিজ হারায় অবনমন নিশ্চিত হয়। শ্রীলঙ্কা সফরে ২-০ তে সিরিজ খুইয়েছে ক্যারাবিয়ান ক্রিকেট দলটি। উভয় দলের রেটিং এখন ৬৬ করে হলেও পয়েন্টে এগিয়ে বাংলাদেশ।

I wrote to Cricinfo asking why this had not been a news article given that this is the first time a non-traditional team has broken into the elite eight. Not sure if my email sparked it or not but here it is finally:

this ranking means very little to me until we beat the REAL WINDIES TEAM in the World Cup.
this time they have guys like Gayle, Bravo, Kevin Pollard so it is a full strength squad. won't be that easy to beat them but inshaAllah it surely will be a lot of fun to watch Bangladesh vs. West Indies
remember, WINDIES are aware of the fact that they struggle against spin, they know their weaknesses so we can expect to be prepared from all fronts not just spin! this is international cricket after all....
