MORSHEDA AKTHER ERA

Whereas the triumph was heralded as one of the biggest upsets in Test cricket history, it was a rare display of Bangladesh's pure grit and ability over the course of five arduous days that created poetry of success. In the middle of a dysfunctional board that has consistently failed to offer fast bowlers a platform to refine their abilities and a terrible run of form since the T20 World Cup, it was a triumph for the ages. When the Tigers left for the mission, they were regarded as no-hopers following a dismal home series defeat to Pakistan, which included a surrender on the fifth day of the rain-soaked second Test.
