Well, don't forget that every single one of the Test nations was once a minnow. For instance, Sri Lanka competed in the very first World Cup in 1975 as a minnow, and are now arguably a very powerful team. It did take them a while to find their footing as their first ODI win came against India in the '79 World Cup and they weren't regularly winning matches until the early 90s.
Bangladesh took part in their first ODI in the 1985/86 Asia Cup and didn't win their first match against a Test nation until the 1999 World Cup against Pakistan. It may take a little while before Bangladesh become a serious threat to the other sides but possibly by the 2011 tournament we may not be quite so surprised if they get through the Group Stage.

Wow, what a question. Everyones perpective will be different. I grew up in South Africa and moved to Australia when I was 22 years old. I have been back there for visists (family and friends), but could not see myself living back there. I think that on a one on one basis that most South Africans are very pleasant. They enjoy an outdoor lifestyle, with sports like football (soccer), rugby, netball etc. BBQ (or braai there) is part of the lifestyle. They love a good joke and can laugh at themselves - sometimes because it is all you can do. For languages, there is eleven official languages, but if you speak English, you would be fine in most places. And yes, security is an issue. Across the board. There is unfortunately a lot of poverty, which is forcing people to steal to feed themselfes, and then there is a criminal element that is just out to plunder. It is only the very brutal crimes that you get to read about in the news. When I tell people what has happened to my own family, they think I am lying. I have had hijacks, rapes and murders in my family (and no, we are not all from Johannesburg). At one stage I quit a job because the danger of driving alone when a shift finished was to great (the work then organised an security company to acompany me home - so the can look after you). My house had electric fences, armed response alarm system, and infra red beams across the outside. My schooling was good, I was in a private school. Unfortunately the university eduction of some RSA universities aren't recognised abroad anymore. But after all that, I have heaps of family still living there, and they are ok. Good luck on moving there, and I hope you enjoy just the beautiful side of South Africa

While Bangladesh have a very good team, they have to be more consistent in their performance if they have to win a major tournament, which unfortunately they are not doing. They are only shining once in a while.
