Ashraful defenceless

some decisions during bowling changes and what Ashraful told the press was simply alarming for a team. It seemed that he has hardly any control on his boys otherwise how could someone be reluctant to bowl in such a crucial time.
"Mashrafe (Bin Mortaza) doesn't feel comfortable with the old ball as well bowling in the powerplay and what he told me is that he would need some time to adjust with this," informed Ashraful when asked why he completed the full overs for Mashrafe.
"We discussed our options and 1 did speak to the spinners (Nayeem Islam and Mahmudullah) but probably their confidence level was not quite right and we had seen that the Zimbabwean batters at the crease were not too comfortable with pace," he said replying to a question of why he didn't gamble with a
spinner Mahmudullah Riyad, who conceded only seven runs in six overs with one wicket, in the last few overs.
Ashraful however can take some consolation from his counterparts about his decision of batting first.
"To be honest, to me it actually looked like a good batting wicket but the wickets over here are very deceiving and in the end I thought it was a good toss to lose, "said Zimbabwe skipper Prosper Utseya.
The visiting captain also said that there was a difference in discipline between them and the Bangladesh team.
"I think we are a more disciplined side and if we continue to be like that then we should win the series," said the young Utseya.
Bangladesh had high hopes to whitewash their opponents to avenge their 38-run defeat in the tri-nation opener but now the situation demands that they find an answer in their batting to avoid further blushes.
