I won't write-off Tamim so easily. From what I have seen of him so far, his footwork is actually better than that of Javed Omar or Shahriar Nafees - you don't see him fishing outside the offstump or getting rapped on the pad as often happen to the other two guys. This can be an important factor when the team will be in NZ this December, where pitches probably won't offer much bounce but lots of swing and seam movement.
As I said before, Tamim has his limitations (not being able to pull or hook) and needs to work on them. For now, he needs to stop playing all those weird shots while facing short deliveries.
