For example, I can see Riyad bat up the order, but tell me honestly, do you think Nasir is capable of batting up the order?

riyad's test average of under 20 batting 1-7 from 18 innings (10 matches) supports your point well. also nasir averages 38 in BD, 49 in SL and 58 in zimbabwe, 2 bad matches in WI is exactly that, just 2 bad matches out of 16.
