Smile Ash and Shaun Meet the Press: Talk About Batting and Expectations in Lanka

Excerpt-

Bangladesh captain Mohammad Ashraful hoped that their extended batting sessions during last week would help them succeed in Sri Lanka.

Talking to reporters after their final practice session in preparation for the tour of Sri Lanka at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium yesterday, Ashraful sounded confident that the weeklong net sessions, indoors and outdoors at the centre wicket, would come in more than handy.

"Every member in this team has worked on their batting. We are starting with Test matches and I think that if we can succeed with the bat, we can go a long way in this tour," said the 23-year-old Ashraful.
