Guest Sima Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Tests against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe count for fuck all tbh, one isn't even a test side anymore. The Rose Bowl is a bigger ground and is better located, the ECB have already said that the Rose Bowl will get higher profile tests in the future.
