Bangladesh can produce upsets in one-day cricket but they are an ordinary test side that are unlikely to trouble India, said the tourists' vice captain Virender Sehwag. India, the world's top ranked test side, face Bangladesh in a two-test series, the first of which starts in Chittagong on Sunday. Sehwag could not see the hosts springing a surprise victory over India.
"I don't think so. In one-day (cricket) they can surprise anybody but not in test matches. It's an ordinary side," Sehwag said at a news conference ahead of first test. "It's difficult for Bangladesh to take 20 Indian wickets. The kind of batting line-up we have, I don't think so. Even Sri Lanka can't do that. So it's very, very difficult for Bangladesh." Bangladesh have won only three of their 61 tests, drawing six matches and losing 52 since they gained test status in June 2000.
