Two points,
The best thing our selectors ever pulled was not selecting Sumon for our First Test. Then changing their minds due to media pressure and letting him play only to watch him score a 100 runs in the match.
Secondly, have the folks who are rooting for Ashraful actually seen him bat? I was REALLY excited about him when he first got into the side and scored that hundred against SL. But when I got back home last winter and saw him bat against Pak, I was really disappointed. This guy is not a Test batsman. He is small and fidgety. Prods around at everything. Sometimes, he does put his head down and plays maturely but most of the time, he just flays his bat at everything. Ashraful does have potential, but he has to tighten his game a little bit. Get his head down and not play every damn ball. Once he starts doing that, he'll be in my team. Right now, I'm not too sure.
