What is the value of Experience? In my view it is the enhanced understanding of match situation, enhanced ability to absorb pressure and refined stroke-play and enhanced tactical know-how that makes a player's experience so valuable. That's why the Hussey's, Misbah, Smith, Jayawardene are so highly regarded in the team. In case of Ashraful none of those development have taken place. Do you see any difference between the Ashraful crash bang wallop innings against England in 2005 and this BPL century?

that's a really good explanation for value of experience
