YESSS!!! exactly!

the main reasons behind people like Bd-Shardul, and many others in this forum want him strictly Dropped forever from this team is not because he fails many times, but because he can do something about his failure while he doesn't show any sign of consistency when he has more than adequete enough experience to consistently play good innings...

it is his "not-caring attitude" which i find more disturbing than anything else. one excellent innings out of 42 innings is bad for Bangladesh cricket, not good. it spells Digression, not progression.

other people who are also failing are still part of their learning curve are still adjusting themselves to the pace of international Cricket or going through a bad patch. but people like Ashraful have no excuse for failure, he has been there long enough to know what his weaknesses are...and how he should appproach his batting!

after about ten years of playing international cricket, the most disturbing moment in his career would have to be IMO, the World Cup T20 dismissal against Ireland...that is something, will be very hard to forget, for any Bangladesh fan, it proves that this guy neither learns nor reflects upon his mistakes, or simply he doesn't care. he thinks it is a joke. this attitude will NEVER take Bangladesh to top 5....
