On September 8, 2001, at the Sinhalese Sports Club,
Colombo, Mohammad Ashraful turned a terrible mismatch into a piece
of history by becoming the youngest man, or boy, ever to make a Test
century. Bangladesh still crashed to heavy defeat, but Ashraful
brought hope and consolation with a sparkling hundred, repeatedly
dancing down the pitch to hit the Sri Lankan spinners, including
Murali, back over their heads. It was the day before his 17th
birthday according to some sources, and 63 days after it according
to others; either way, he broke the longstanding record for the
youngest centurion set by Mushtaq Mohammad when he made 101 for
Pakistan against India in 1960-61 (17 years, 82 days). Inevitably,
such a heady early achievement proved hard to live up to, and after
a prolonged run of poor form, he was dropped for England's first
visit in October 2003. He returned to the side a better player, but
no less flamboyant in his strokemaking, as he demonstrated with a
glorious unbeaten 158 in defeat against India at Chittagong. Not yet
21 when Bangladesh embarked on their maiden tour of England,
Ashraful was definitely one for the future, and confirmed this on an
unforgettable day in Cardiff, when his brilliantly paced century set
Bangladesh up for an astonishing five-wicket victory over Australia
in the early stages of the NatWest Series
