Can you remeber an occasion when Ash was out in a genuine good delivery?
As if Sachin, Ponting, Smith et. al always get out to magnificent deliveries and never throw away their wicket in shorter version of the game!

In this 20-20 format, chickenhearted approach to the game is far more destructive than a bit less restrained shot selection. Did you see how the Aussie batsmen make good 20-20 bowlers like Rasel, Razzak look ordinary today? They didn't show any undue respect to the bowling.

We are badly lacking this material in this generation, even the cricketers like Athar Ali Khan, Akram Khan, Aminul Islam and Minhazul Abedin used to have this simple common sense. You will find that most of the BD batsmen look more like a foolish than sorry once they get out and make the way to the pavilion.
Oh yeah, do you go back to that era when frequency of "sommanjonok porajoy" was less than the frequency of at this moment?
