Ashraful played a really good innings... 67 under pressure... Eight 4's and Three 6's. That's 50 runs of just boundaries.
He played well no doubt but what bothers me is the manner he got out - by trying to hit a six over long-off... he did play a restrained innings scoring 67 off 189 balls... which shows he was contained and matured enough from when he first came in. But still not there yet! he has a long way to go to become a strong standing batsman. He has to learn to stop himself from the temptation of playing the big hits specially when 4 wickets are down for really low scores.
Anyways a great innings. I was really hoping for a 100 this time. Well there's always the next innings.
