its coincidence. i'm NOT suggesting the team needs Ashraful to win games, since they've obviously done it without him several times in the recent past.

however, you cannot say the null hypothesis is therefore necessarily true ie "the team plays better without Ashraful".

thats a logical fallacy. eg "without A, B happens, therefore with A, not B happens".

Probably. but whenever I've seen him play, the side just looks dire - lacking any fighting spirit. Either way, you're better of without him.
