India took a little over three days to bring Bangladesh down to earth, dishing out a 280-run hammering in the series opener on Sunday to maintain their formidable home record. Bangladesh arrived fresh from a 2-0 series sweep in Pakistan earlier this month but in India they confronted rivals they had not beaten in their previous 13 attempts.
