This thread is about the very few aggressive batsmen we have had in our past and what your views are on them. Did we discard them too early? Were they mere hacks or gifted timers of the ball?
We had Imran Nazir who I have always felt tried to use brute power rather than timing on the ball. I didn't feel he was extraordinarily talented but he had an aggressive mindset and wanted to kick things on. I believe he got plenty of opportunity in international cricket.
We had Shahzaib Hasan then who I felt was a gifted timer of the ball and had a much wider range of shots than Nazir. He played proper modern day cricket in my opinion but was discarded way too early. I believe he definitely had the gift of timing and some talent.
We had Sharjeel as well who was a decent timer of the ball but most of his shots were limited to the leg side. I believe yes he didn't get enough chances in international cricket but his technique wasn't the best and it's possible he would have been found out.
