Who's Ashraful fooling?

[nizzle]

Mohammad Ashraful is not the most popular man in Bangladesh at the moment. Harangued by irate fans when he landed home a couple days after Bangladesh's first-round exit from the ICC World Twenty20, Ashraful's captaincy and batting have been under severe criticism. Bishwajit Roy, of the Dhaka-based Daily Star, wonders how a batsman of Ashraful's calibre could express satisfaction with an average of 23.00 in 139 ODIs and little over 23.00 in 48 Tests in his eight-year long international stint.

Despite all the statistics, if someone expresses the kind of satisfaction Ashraful expressed recently, it's really alarming for our cricket. It could be dangerously infectious for the other players because he is now the most senior member in the team. It's always good to be confident but before that one should realise his position first.

What's so hyper about it? Name a BD Captain starting with Raquibul Hasan, who has a better stats !! Are they all disstatisfied dracullas, being haunted by their cricketing career?

The next generation of a peon is happy if he could be a clark. There are rare exceptions. So just take Ash as just a normal human being, he isn't a rare breed. None of our current players are, that's a ladder we have to climb over a period of time. Unless we get a rare breed from no where. We anyway lack such exceptions in every sphere of our nation. Why cry?

Finally, did we need to have yet another Ashraful thread, buddy? I think this issue could be very well dealt with in many of those numerous Ash threads already existing.

Ashrafool and fooling in one sentence should be mutually exclusive!

[abu2abu]

Looks like he's been replaced as captain anyway...

[reinausagi]

Is it time for yet another new captain? Mashrafe? Kapali? Aftab? What's with the cooling off period. The Pakistanis brought Razzaq on board right away. Do our hot-heads run a higher temperatue by nature? (Hence the cooling off period?)

Ashraful needs to realize only one thing "I have some thing to learn".

Who's Ashraful fooling?

It used to be the fans and the BCB executives.

But now a days he is fooling himself and still in denial mode.

Ashfool tries to fool Monalisa,
Ashfool tries to fool a bouncer
oh Ash is so fool of himself
is it Ashfool, Ashrafaul, or Ashrapull

ok I just confused myself.

Arshrafool saga has finally reached it's climax as he has been sacked as captain and Msh is the new captain. We had been waiting for this for nearly two years. However , it happened at the cost of our world cup failure. I wish good luck to Mash.
