Should Ashraful be part of the bowling line up

You know they should really use ashraful more often i mean last game he got only 2 overs and yet hey pikd up 2 wickets ... his bowling avg is 31.89 .. in the srilanka 2nd test match he got Jaywerdene n he only had 4 overs to do it .. this is showing he is continously getting wickets for us and he does very little bowling just imagine if he bowls more how many more wickets we would get.... and remember in the Zimbabwea series he really troubled those guys with his googly i mean he is the only leg spinner in the team

He should be used very lightly, he gets you wickets because bastman eyes opens up thinking part part time bowler on !! and thats what it should be nothing else.

No, he can be used as a part timer against weak teams ONLY.

He should be used, it brings more variety to our bowling attack, 2 SLA and then either an erratic leggie like Kapali or Ashaful to go with Aftab.

I'd say use him 2-3 overs Max would be 4 beacuse he's a little expensive.

People say Jaywerdene threw his wicket but still Ash very deciptive and had a few deliveries where he flat out fooled the SL batsmen. He mixes up his deliveries very well legspin,offspin etc.

I think he's more than a patrnership breaker.
