It is what that needs to be done at this time.
1. Fire the selectors.
2. Get a batting coach.
3. If McInnes or Winters have success with the U-19 team, maybe the problem lies with the current players and the coach. REPLACE ALL OF THEM!!
4. With respect to the rash shots: Being positive and aggressive is one thing in an ODI but beings Suicidal in an effort to punish opponent bowling deserve exemplary PUNISHMENT- Again a complete lack of humility plays a critical role in stopping a good player from becoming great!
5. I think Bashar, Ash, Mashud, Rafiq all need to go, along with JO.
They cannot be playing irresponsible pull shots at this level of game. This is not STREET CRICKET at this time.

Azim; i wish i had the time to analyze this... but my guess is JO's strike rate has improved considerably in the last 12 months. I think he has improved his one day game and is a solid anchor who doesn't lack shots. Rajin and JO batting together at the top of the order right now...who says it can't be done? And Kapali should be coming in soon!!
