As far I know, Ashraful generally likes to bat at #4 or #5 position. No specialist batsman really likes to bat at #6 position. From this position you either have to score quick runs or guide the tail to the end of the innings- pressure situation either way. If you look at Australia, they generally keep a batsman with good nerve in this slot (Bevan, Hussey).
Ash probably took the position just so that he can stay in the team. He is the kind of person who would be happier batting during pressure free middle overs.
