After sacrificing my sleep to watch BD-Kenya 3rd ODI, I was again disappointed by the performance of the BD top order. The commentators kept on harping that Ashraful was out by a stunning delivery. I saw nothing special. The ball kept its line but jumped a little bit. He played it awkwardly with his feet entombed in cement as if he expected it to swing in.
Now here is a suggestion. I know the selectors and a few of BD fans like him. So, I would be in favour of including him, if we have to, in the champions trophy squad but not play him in the qualifying round. The reason being we need to perform consistently if we were to advance. Ash lacks the consistency. However, if we do qualify then play him next round . May be he will have one more dream innings.
This way we can satisfy both fans and foes of Ashraful. :head:
