I don't know why people are terming Farhad as a #7 batsman. He may have batted like that against SL, but in domestic league he is a top order batsman. Now that may not translate into top order for the national team right away, but the potential is there Farhad to take #4/#5 in the future.
Atleast against weaker team like ZIM and KEN he showed how he can pace the innings, starting slow and evetually when he is set, increase the run rate. I have no doubt about his batting potential, I am not sure about his effectiveness as a bowler.
Long term, unless he drastically improve his bowling, he can only come in the team as a batsman or batting all-rounder. I see him as a future #/4/#5 batsman in out national team.
