I couldn't agree more. Think for a moment--when was the last time Ash won us an ODI game? Then ask yourself--when was the last time Ash played a supporting role in winning a match? might've been sometime in 2009. If you're looking for an innings played more recently then ask--when was the last time Ash played an innings of any significance?
I remember that date and looked it up on statsguru to confirm--it was Januray 4th 2010 when he scored 75 against SL in a losing effort.
Fifteen months have passed and here are his ODI innings since...
29, 13, 4, 5, 1, 31, 20, 9, 14, 13, 6, 1, 11 @ a whopping avg of 12.07
Where's the Eid innings people talk about? Eid comes twice a year, right? it's been 15 fricken months and not a single innings of any significance!
Even someone like Raqibul played an important innings against Ire only two games ago and we start bashing him for failing two matches later. And what has Ash done in the meantime? Nada
