5. Mohammad ASHRAFUL (Bangladesh)

Mohammad Ashraful

Engineered the mother of all upsets with a sparkling century to sink Australia, and gave England short shrift at Trent Bridge before another fifty against the Aussies at Old Trafford. His last hurrah - a six off one Brett Lee delivery, bowled the next - symbolised his team: talented, impetuous, naive.

Nice one!

only 1 Bangladeshi player! Come on! No mention Abir or Mashrafe. Those are the other 2 that i would of put on that Team.

Still Ashraful batting 5th in that Line up is kind of nice of BBC they could easily put another aussie of pomme on that team.

Ash should be in #2 after Tres. Also Ash did totally an unthinkable thing against Eng..I think gily should be at #3.

They put those names according to batting order. Ash didn't open in any match - so no point to be at #2.

Although Masrafee shouldnt get picked in the eleven, you can be sure the coach has his mobile number in case someone gets injured.

only ash deserves to be in that list...probably wud hve thoght abt mashrafe..........

[Fortuner]

Atleast some 1 is there from Bangladesh.

We should be happy bout it and Thank Allah so much.

I dont mean to negative / pessimestic whn i say atleast, ,......come on guys, from a team like Bangladesh, this itself in good so early....did we ever think ash would do so much for Bangladesh in that series. He got duck in the 1st match itself, never perfomd in the test matches. So, in regard to this i dont think majority of us had high hopes from him. it was only aftab ppl had high hopes before the odi's
