Ashraful fails, Mashrafee
sails for Tigers
Azad Majumder . Chittagong An extraordinary effort by Mashrafee bin Murtaza saved Bangladesh from following on in the second Test against Sri Lanka on Sunday, but that hardly came as a consolation as a huge defeat is still on cards unless the hosts make a significant turnaround.
Blame again shifted on Mohammad Ashraful, the Bangladesh captain, who set yet another example of how irresponsible one can be when he attempted a reverse sweep against Muttiah Muralitharan being totally unmindful of his team’s situation and was caught behind.
In the eighth year of his Test career Ashraful was waiting only for his eighth fifty, an statistic that easily describes how keen he was to get it, but being the captain of the side his team had expected something different from him in that tricky situation.
Ajantha Mendis had just delivered a twin blow as he removed Mehrab Hossain and Sakib al Hasan to reduce Bangladesh to 6-90 with the last recognised batsman Mushfiqur Rahim remaining, so it was Ashraful’s duty to take the responsibility on his shoulders and bail the team out of danger.
His failure was not an issue to anyone, but the way he failed without showing any respect to the leading wicket-taker of the game that raised a question on whether the skipper has any grey material in his head.
