Most of the observations are fair I suppose. I can see that everybody is expecting Aftab's stock to go up next year, but iam yet to be convinced. Yes, He can hit the quick bowlers out of the ground when there is a field restriction in place, but so can many other pinch hitters, does that make him a skilled batsman? I don't think so!
His temperemnt will never be good enough in order for him to handle the pressure at the international level. he is like a common thief..He knows that he shouldn't steal, and he promises that he wo'nt do it again, but soon as the backs are turned he is up to his old tricks. So the moral of the story is he cant resist a waft every so often.
His technique against spin is so poor that any decent team will just eat him alive.
