Bangladesh's Historic Test Win in Australia Sparks England Troll
Bangladesh's cricket team did something amazing.
They beat Australia in a Test match in Darwin, Australia.
This was the first time Bangladesh ever won a Test match in Australia.
It was a big deal because Australia is usually very strong at home.
After the win, a funny social media account called Iceland Cricket made a joke.
They said Bangladesh now has as many Test wins in Australia as England has in the last 15 years.
England had not won a Test in Australia for a long time.
They finally won one in December 2025.
People on the internet thought the joke was funny.
Many fans added their own jokes about England.
Bangladesh's win was historic and everyone was talking about it.
Bangladesh beat Australia by nine wickets in the first Test in Darwin, their first-ever Test win on Australian soil.
Iceland Cricket posted on X that Bangladesh now have as many Test wins in Australia as England in the last 15 years.
England ended a 15-year wait for a Test win in Australia in December 2025, beating Australia by four wickets at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Bangladesh bowled Australia out for 198, scored 426, and chased 57 runs for the loss of one wicket.
This was Bangladesh's second Test win over Australia, their first coming in 2017 in Dhaka.
