well, i have a feeling somehow ash performs under extreme pressure, or when there is no pressure at all.
think of all his good innings (should be a an easy task, hehe)
158* against india, there was absolutely no pressure, no one expected him or BD to do anything.
100 against aussies. BD had just lost by 10 wickets to england, no one expected anything less than a slaughter at the hands of OZ.
94 from 52. no one expected BD to try and chase 392 = no pressure.
the match-winning 51 against SL, no pressure as BD were bundled out for 118 the match before and our historical struggles against them.
then when being dropped last november, with the entire zimbabwe series riding on his 2 NCL matches against barisal and CTG, ash drops 121 and 266. loads of pressure there.
lets up the pressure of the WC by dangling dollar bills in front of him and see what he does.
