Ashraful says he is confident! Do we believe in him?

Please dont feel this way, this tour is good. Have you really been following this team?

They never won a match in Sl, performed very badly in the Test matches and ODIs.
They have lost 2 ODIs here, but they have uplifted their game a bit. I do not believe in fairy tales and miracles do not happen overnight. The average age of this team is about 22 yrs old, they are always playing against teams whose age and experience are greater than theirs. What do you expect? Be realistic!

Ok fine i'll agree with the true reality that is facing our team at the moment,
but this just shows us, we have to wait a couple more years for the players to perform much better than today, man that sucks, oh well. And hopefully they are much better players, I predict Abdur Razzak will become the next Murali (hopefully)

i disagree...i think ash performs his best under pressure, unlike most people in all fields not just sports or cricket.

his 118 and 263 in the NCL immediately after being dropped for 06 zimbabwe home series is a case in point.

he tends to fail when there is no pressure on him, when he takes things easily. thats why he is one of the few players whos stats are far better against top sides as oppossed to minnows.

He is the most unusual players I have ever seen, sometimes he plays good
and sometimes he plays rubbish, in a way it is a good thing, and sometimes a bad thing, by the way I think Bangladesh always suffer from pressure.

[Sovik]

if he is confident then its a bad news for both teams.

[Mav]

He is positive and confident, but is a bit careless about being a consistent performer.
His confidence however is a good thing for himself and the team.

whenever ashfool is confident we lose again and again

Im telling you ashraful will share the same fate as that of Afridi. Great skill but no brain. We will have to accept it sooner or later.

well said

[nahaz]

U can call him whatever u want but seems like he's the only one who deserves to be in our test team...rest look like a bunch of street cricketers from shantibagh (my old home in dhaka) who might as well be replaced by some street cricketers.Even Mash is not test grade right now....sigh

[akabir77]

he is the captain of TAL PATAR SHEPAI SQUAD. so who cares what he thinks. reality is we will have a 2 day TEST

'We will show you what we're capable of' - Ashraful

------YES THEY DID IT------

[Haradhon]

The way he was posing with Sajid and Tusher in the BC picture it seems Ash is enjoying too much of New Zealand's natural beauty!

Besides my sarcasm, Ash is growing and learning. But we need more players with cricket sense

[AsifTheManRahman]

In everyone's face.
