The Bangla Bomber
A few days earlier Ashraful put the mighty Australian bowlers to the sword.
The youngster scored a run-a-ball century to help Bangladesh shock the world champions by five wickets.
Ashraful and captain Habibul Bashar put on 130 in 22 overs for the fourth wicket to produce a grandstand finish.
There were questions about Bangladesh playing international cricket after the thumping they received in the Test series against England. But the victory over Australia proved that on their day they could triumph over the best.
