Misbah to retire after WI Test series

[tweaker]

Pakistan Test captain Misbah-ul-Haq has called it quits from international cricket and has announced that the Test series against West Indies will be his final assignment in Pakistan colour

[CoverDrive]

Finally end of a long and a very interesting career. I would say one of the most important Pakistan Captain of all times. Brought them a lot of success and rescued them from the bad times when team was in trouble due to fixing saga. 

 

Overall I really respect him a cricketer. 

[Jimmy Cliff]

So long. Thanks for the scoop at Jo'burg 2007 and the tuk tuk at Mohali 2011.

But But he's only 43 years old, he still has 10+ years of cricket left in him 

[speedheat]

Thank you for the memories misbah, that epic scoop in 2007 wc is unforgettable!!

lol thats his legacy.He,being regarded as one of the important captains of Pakistan highlights the depth Pakistan cricket has plummeted.He should have been sacked post 2011 WC and he was made the captain of ODIs .Highly mediocre player and very much like MSD loved captaining the spinners.

After Lala, My favorite player in recent Pakistani side.

Hope Jamai Raza plays, As his Hyderbad links are only reason to watch him.

A better captain than phateechar khan. Pak will miss him....

Bhai..IK is history. Get over him man.

Nice guy Misbah - a rarity from the greenbros.  

[Sidhoni]

Respect

 

Hated by his own people though, guess that's how fans are.

[gakgupta]

Had he played for some other country, he could have achieved much more.....so often he ran out of partners..

 

Very very sensible head over his shoulders.....

 

he served well

 

[cric_fan]

Respect

Hated by idiots that claim he destroyed the ODI side. Morons.

[Soorma_Bhopali]

Only sane voice in pakistani playing team for a long time .

[beetle]

Probably the most respected pak player outside pak.

Respect to him.

A gentleman .

One of the very few sensible Pakistani players in the recent times. His interviews actually made sense, which cannot be said of most other pak players of the last 20 years.

 

Good player and captain too. Did the very best he could with the team he got.

Misbah had the dignity to fight and compete in a team filled with average and below average "stars" with delusions of grandeur.  Was smart enough to stick to his strength - never came higher up the order to protect newer batman - made sure that his core competency was well preserved.  I guess those MBA classes did help out.
