Jeets is not paid as a batsmen.
He's a paid bowler and his test avg is 48. Only ever taken one pfeiffer. Averages 15 overs between wickets. 
Only positives i can see. His economy rate is ok (3.20) and he spreads his wickets evenly through top, middle and lower order batsmen as seen here 

He's a below par test player.
I'm not a test selector just saying he deserves more respect. People are calling him a coward. He's not a great test player but he's a great bloke (no problem with people saying he's not good enough but the personal attacks are way out of line).

That's a fair point.

I certainly wouldn't call him a coward or slag him off personally as i don't know him (although from the outside he seems nice as people like yourself say). But i really don't believe he's good enough to forge any sort of international career.

If  he's the best spin option we have at the moment then good on him for being number 1 and getting his chance, but it says more about our spin bowling stocks than anything else if that's the case.
