Talented, but inconsistent
Mohammad Ashraful is a wonder boy of Bangladesh cricket. There is no doubt that he is extremely talented. And he also proved his worth by playing some extra ordinary innings against the world-class teams like Australia, Sri Lanka, India. But it's very disappointing for everyone who supports Bangladesh cricket that this wonder boy is wasting his talent. He is not consistent at all and consistency is the hallmark of a great player.
He played some good knocks against Sri Lanka and also scored a century, but against Kenya, in the last ODI series, his highest score was 18!
It's also very sad that a player of his class has an average that is so poor!
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. He played 31 Tests, and batted in 61 innings but scored only 1443 runs at an average of 24.87! Highest Score: 158* against India.
He is a world-class batsman but his average is below 25!
The cricket board and the coach should look into the matter since he has the potential to contribute tremendously to our cricket in future.
