We have to date back to Jan 2005 to a 2 test home series against Zimbabwe.. Zimbabwe were lead by Taibu and Bangladesh by Bashar.. At 12.53 p.m. on January 10, the moment all Bangladesh had been waiting for arrived. When Enamul Haque junior had Christopher Mpofu held at silly point, they recorded their maiden victory in their 35th Test. They had been dreaming of this day since gaining Test status in 2000, but first had to endure 31 defeats, three draws..
Four years and six months after their first Test win, Bangladesh sealed a historic second victory when they beat West Indies by 95 runs in St Vincent.. Bangladesh's spin twins Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah weaved a tantalizing web to consign a weakened West Indies to defeat.
The champagne moment arrived at 4.40 pm local time when Shakib, the stand-in captain, nailed last man Tino Best in front with a dipping full toss with only ten overs left in the day.. Bangladeshi fielders converged in a huddle of joy, soon joined by a limping Mashrafe Mortaza..
