A Triumph Against
the Odds

The long awaited moment finally came. The clock read 12:56pm. The calendar read Monday, 10th of January, 2005. Finally, Bangladesh registered their first ever win in test cricket. It was 10th of November, 2000 when Bangladesh, the youngest among the 10 test playing countries, played their first test match against the neighbouring India. Four long years and two months went by before Bangladesh could grab the long eluding victory on January 10 at MA Aziz Stadium in Chittagong. The entire country burst into celebration the cricket crazy Bangladeshis finally got something to rejoice about.
