said it all...there is nothing left to say at this point.

eventually, i believe ashraful will deliver what goods he has. but he is one of those extremely late bloomers.

with the likes of SN, aftab, mushy, and sakib there to share the burden, he will eventually come through. key word eventually.

we didn't see it before, because the lack of quality help meant all the burden was on his shoulders. we see experienced greats like dravid or tendulkar struggle to carry an entire team, so who is a 18 or 22 year old kid to do that?

no matter what happens, ashraful should continue to bat down the order...tho he should replace bashar at #5...he is too good to come in at 7, and with bashar's current form, has to take #5. in fact, i always favored ash at 5 and not at 6 or 7.
