Jarrod you're absolutely right about Rahmat Shah. I saw his batting against Sri Lanka and some of the cover drives were so good! Him and even Ibrahim Zadran have batted some aesthetically beautiful shots which some batters would love to have. Also, thanks for illustrating the way Rahmat plays spin. It's such a subcontinental (or orthodox) way of playing spin which is pretty awesome.

He's a straight lines player.

Yes, very western way of playing spin is propping a little forward on the crease. But with the pace of modern spinners, it can be hard to use the old Asian method without sweeps added in.
