I think the problem with ashraful is not his ability but his termperament. His batting in the 2nd innings is a good example, he tried to hit the ball straight away and paid the price. Bd needed to lift the RR but there was no need to start with such an aggressive attitude, its a test after all. See how Sakib and Mushfiq played, they spend their time , get accustomed to the pitch and the bowlers and then opened up to play shots.
Same is the case with Kapali, Aftab and many others; none doubt their ability but its their temperament thats in question. We need a batting coach to mentor these players more than anything else.
