Bangladesh Cricket Team In England In 2005
The Bangladesh national cricket team toured England for the first time in 2005. Bangladesh had just come off their first ever Test series win, which was against Zimbabwe, but were still rooted to the bottom of the ICC Test Championship table. England, under Michael Vaughan's leadership, had moved to second in the Test table.
The Bangladeshis started their tour with first-class warm-up games against the British Universities, Sussex and Northamptonshire. They then played two Tests, and were humiliated by an innings in both of them, with neither game reaching lunch on the third day. The tour then moved on to one-day matches. Warm-up games were played against Derbyshire and Worcestershire before Bangladesh took on England and Australia in the tri-nations NatWest Series, where they pulled off a stunning victory over the world champions.

“All cries are thin and terse;
The field has droned the summer’s final mass;
A cricket like a dwindled hearse
Crawls from the dry grass.”

Mercutio. And so did I.
Romeo. Well, what was yours?
Mercutio. That dreamers often lie.
Romeo. In bed asleep, while they do dream things true.
Mercutio. O then I see Queen Mab hath been with you.
She is the fairies’ midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate stone
On the forefinger of an alderman,
Drawn with a team of little atomi
Over men’s noses as they lie asleep.”
