Having watched a fair amount of the India/Bangladesh test match that's just finished, I can safely say that the series against Bangladesh next month isn't going to be the cakewalk for England that many seem to be expecting.
Bangladesh have a handy side - very entertaining to watch, who seem to be a top-class batsman away from a decent line up, particularly at home.
The ingredients are there for a potential upset - a short series, an untested captain (at ANY level of the game above school cricket for heaven's sake) a side that is probably rather deflated after their shoeing at the Wanderers, who probably won't want to be there and will be comparing the conditions to the five-star luxury they enjoyed in South Africa.
It could be ever so slightly too interesting.

I don't think they've got the batting, though Rahim looked promising today.
Bowling will be steady and England will have to grind the runs out, but I don't see where they are going to get 20 wickets from.
My biggest concern is that our temporary captain will, with his leadership, do exactly what he does with his batting - just enough to persuade the decision-makers that he is worthy.
We'll flipping murder 'em.
