Let's drop Ashraful from the 2nd Test XI

Spitfire_x86 · #1 February 28, 2006, 12:25 PM

What was he thinking when he played his 184 ball 136? It's test cricket, not ODI. He should've scored 50-60 from 184 balls like a true test batsman.

He's showing all signs of an ODI specialist. Let's drop him from the playing XI of 2nd test and bring Rajin in his place.

Do you know that Aftab is not healthy after recovering from jaundice and was dehydrated in the last one day and was unable to attend the ceremony where he was given the Man of the Match trophy?

Spitfire_x86 · #4 February 28, 2006, 12:34 PM

Yes, but "fitness" was not the reason given by Faruk

I wish the writer had said the name of the selector he quoted.

Ejaj · #8 February 28, 2006, 12:55 PM

Absoltely crazy idea. How come Faruk thinks like that ?? Stupid! Aftab is one of the finest batsmen in bd team. He did show that he can very good in test tooo. he played that gteat innings againt England.. How come selectors forget that?? Crazy!!!

sadi · #9 February 28, 2006, 12:55 PM

check yesterdays amardesh... faruk is the selector who said aftab is a odi specialist... there is also a thread here about it

pagol-chagol · #10 February 28, 2006, 12:57 PM

So this "One day specialist" is not a slip of the tongue?

cricketboy · #11 February 28, 2006, 12:58 PM

I think its right decision to drop AFtab momentarily. He is young and can always come back and have a long test career. At this moment he is a bit too aggressive for test cricket.

*AsifTheManRahman* · #12 February 28, 2006, 12:59 PM

"khelata test shulobh mone hocche na"...??? what the heck??!!

shudhu odi khela dekhe eta bujhe kemne? odi te odi er moto khelleo dosh?? we should definitely drop ash from the 2nd test XI.

sadi · #13 February 28, 2006, 12:59 PM

so is ash... drop him too

Cant agree at all with u buddy. Aftab is a natural stroke maker and at the same time.. he is a class act. I dont find any reason to assume that he isnt a test class material. In fact , heis one of the few test class batsmen of our team. How can his stokeplay and aggresiveness be judged on this issue?.. We are not playing test cricket when WG Grace was playing.. r we?

He was thinking of playing agressive cricket with total control... absolute beauty from a class act.

Where did u get this idea of a true test batsman??

He has shown a perfect example of new age test batsman... test is not played anymore the way it used to be played before... its more aggressive and competetive. About rajin's inclusion.... do u want bangladesh to get out below 200 in the first innings?? Moreover, this is because of Ashraful we have crossed 300 run mark in a day in our test histroy.. it didn't happen if rajin was batting.

Should there be anymore confussion?? NO.. this thread is over.

Unfortunately you're the one who is confused. This thread is not about Ashraful at all. Just read the thread once more

then....

You all should get the fact that ashraful is maturing and he will rule the world cricket in less then 5 years.Name another player with age 21 and potential and performance matching ashraful.

Keep going Ashraful.

Ha ha .... what does the subject say???

Subject: Let's drop Ashraful from the 2nd Test XI

Now, If you guys are talking about aftab-faruk issue... which is irrelevent to this thread... then u guys are confused and making others confused too.. there should be a new thread to talk about it.

However.. I wonder how dare u think of dropping ash... I love aftab and would love to see him in the side... he is too young to be branded as only ODI specialist.. I think he will be effective in this form of the game as well... but we shouldn't even think of dropping Ash.. there are other players to drop for his room.

In final note.. I still think this thread is pointless and my last post should have been the last one.
