usually, you'd wanna give a newbie a good number of games to settle down into the team, but mehrab just doesn't seem to be the kind of guy who would score freely in ones and two's. the fact that he's been facing the likes of zimbabwe and scotland also doesn't help his cause.
he's been giving us some good starts lately by sticking in there and making sure we don't lose early wickets, but he does seem to be overly defensive, a tactic that will probably not work against tougher bowling, especially when you're facing people who can easily identify your weaknesses and bowl to that. number one seems to be a big problem in conjunction with number seven at the moment - probably a bigger one than number six.
