They have lost 57 of their matches, and 33 of these by an innings.[1] Bangladesh's performance has led to repeated calls for them to lose their Test status. However under the current coach Jamie Siddons Bangladesh has been improving their test performance in the recent years. They have managed to build resistance against the stronger nations like India, England and New Zealand lately. Most of the cricketing experts now firmly believe that Bangladesh is progressing everyday and they are worthy of playing test cricket.[2]</ref> In the one day form of the game Bangladesh has shown a very consistent form.[3]</ref> They have managed to defeat all the test playing nations at least once. Tigers have also developed a habit of defeating the stronger test playing countries at a reguler interval. The whole cricket world now consider Bangladesh as force to be reckoned with. The performance of the Tigers in 2010 also reflects their overall improvement as Test and ODI side. this year in their home soil Bangladesh created history by Whitewashing New Zealand convincingly in the ODI series. The Kiwis were utterly overwhelmed in every match, this was the first major whitewash by Tigers against a full strength test squad
