	Bangladeshi cricket team - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bangladeshi cricket team is a national cricket team representing Bangladesh.
		The team came tantalisingly close to winning a Test match a few times, but were denied every time until January 2005, when they finally broke the jinx in their 35th attempt and scored their maiden Test victory in Chittagong against the touring Zimbabwe team.
		This win was a triumph for a Bangladeshi team that had been criticised by Richie Benaud, Mike Gatting and others as incompetent and not good enough for Test or ODI cricket in the English media, just days before.
