Qazi Habibul Basharis a Bangladeshi cricketer and the former captain of the Bangladeshi cricket team, widely regarded as one of the greatest Bangladeshi Test batsmen of all time.

consistent improvement push showing team
We feel now that we can push any team in the world. We are showing improvement which is most important. As Dav has said, we have to be more consistent with our batting, but we have improved.
assure badly bangladesh critics good helped last played raise series team touch
We played badly in the last two series that only helped our critics to raise their voices. But now I tell you that this is a different side. The team is also in good touch after the one-day series. I can assure you that you will see a different Bangladesh in the Tests.
against expected impression nobody series team test win
When we started the series against Sri Lanka, nobody expected us to win anything. But after the first Test (against Australia) everyone had a different impression about us. I think this is our team achievement.
adam batting bit bottom corner deal double game great inevitably involved learn lee line second seen tail team test took work
We have seen how someone in their team inevitably contributes when needed. Our tail can learn a great deal from Gillespie. Not only his double century, he was also involved in a big partnership with Adam Gilchrist in the first Test when they were in a corner and Brett Lee also took the game away from us with his batting in the second innings. The bottom line is we all need to work a bit more harder.
ability compared counting cricket doubt efforts good played players stubborn team
No team could be compared with them but we are counting on the good cricket we've played recently. I have little doubt about the ability of my players and I want stubborn efforts from them.

The much-awaited win will embolden our confidence, which will help us build a fight against any team in future.
against difficult plan successful team
I think it is difficult to make any plan successful against a team like Australia. We will better concentrate on our own game.
against beaten impossible several strong teams win wish
It is not impossible because we have beaten several strong teams in the past, and now we can wish for a win against Sri Lanka too.

The national team players are very serious to perform well in the competition.
confidence field riding
We will take to the field with more confidence riding on the achievements of the first Test.
against assignment australia carry champions good great home next success tempo tough work
It would be really great if we can carry the tempo into our next home assignment against Australia next month. We know how tough it would be against the World champions but if we can carry the good work to the next series, I think it will be a real success for us.
believe easy isolate last merit ourselves outside perform slept standard tried
Even I slept well last night. We actually tried to take it easy so that we didn't feel much pressure. We tried to isolate ourselves from the outside world and told each other that this is the standard we are going to believe in. We are not doing something unusual. We have the merit to perform like this.
achieved against dragging fifth match mighty victory
We are very much happy. We think we achieved a victory in dragging the match to its fifth day against a mighty team.
