Wow. How inconsistent! And he hit that six and got out with another 2 runs on board, you say? Thats so sad.

Mohammad Ashraful b Lee 7 6 4 0 1 (R M B 4 6)


He was bowled right after he hit a six off of Brett Lee and that ended it all for him. I think he should have learnd his lesson right after getting bowled like that. A lesson that should entail how to respect a bowler and judge the balls properly before going buck wild with every single delivery.
My God!! Ash, when will u realize that your failure is not only a dissaster for own your career but a curse for the entire nation that you repersent(along with other 10 players).
When he faced the first in that match he "steps out, ball takes the inside edge to fine leg." This gives him one run. Ofcourse, he did not realise his mistake and also not happy with one run. So he goes on...
2nd ball: "SIX, a bit short, Ashraful lifts his
front foot and pulls it over the square leg fence."
3rd ball: "OUT: yorked him, swinging in, Ashraful
plays over it" and as a result the "ball hits the base of the off stump."

Well put! And he's played that way ever since, too.
