Thats precisely the point. He is no longer his old self. And as long as he is being consistently aggressive, given his limited abilities its backfiring. You might as well give young Nafees Iqbal a chance. It couldnt get any worse. The only thing JO was good for was giving our innings solidity and patience. He hasnt done that in QUITE a while!
