Bangladesh showed signs of progress with the Darwin triumph, even as gaps in their game were exposed in Mackay.
As they go back to the drawing board, there will be several performances they can be proud of - Tanzid Hasan Tamim’s maiden Test hundred, Hasan Mahmud and Shoriful Islam’s exploits with the ball and Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s all-round show in Darwin.
To go with that is Shanto’s own excellence with the bat in the first Test.
How they deal with the pressure of expectations, however, could dictate the further progress that they make in the longest format.
