He can definitely pick up a lot from Mashrafee. If anyone noticed Mashrafee's bowling closely you ll see he has really worked on his accuracy. He is always bowling in the channel. Whether he is bowling full or short, he is always keeping the line right. If he is bowling a little wide of off stump his length is so good, it gets a little difficult to cut. Another big difference between Mashrafee and the rest- Mashrafee tries to hit the seam every delivery. This allows him to get the extra bounce and movement. Sth that really troubled Chris Gayle.

That's how I feel about Abul as well. People may not see much in him yet but I feel he's definitely a keeper. 1 thing we lack is pacers with good physique and this is where Abul has the advantage. If he can improve on his line and length, he can be a good pacer at this level. It also helps that he's a more than capable batsman.
