This is why I am so annoyed by people calling for Aftab's head. Just because Ash has a few centuries doesnt make him the better option. In both innings, Aftab did better in building a partnership than Ashraful, and scored more runs too. If you are calling for Aftab to sit it out, then take Ash with you.

But if you think you want an aggressive player, its high time Ashraful gets punished and is made to sit out and correct himself like Rajin, and Aftab should be given his slot. Aftab - because he's been wrecked by the selectors decisions and comments and expectation! There should be none of these ruining the future career of a promising player! We owe him a chance to correct himself. Kapali should not be brought in at Aftab's expense, he should be there to fill the slot if and when Ashraful goes.
