I thought Younis Khan was this perfect well mannered guy like our Dravid. Isn't he ? 

 

He has his tantrums from time to time but in the wider cricket community yes he's known as a gentleman.

Over the decade Younis has conducted himself very well. Never heard of him having any issues with anyone. True Gentleman.

depends on your perspective, you could also say he was a VVS laxman type who had no Sachin, sehwag, Dravid above him

VVS batted at #3 for India in tests at his peak, but was dislodged by the class of Rahul Dravid.  He didn't hide at #6 behind rookies.

Younis khan easily. He's not perfect but by their standards he should be given sainthood. Also was a quality player under pressure . Class act!

Younis khan made his debut in 2000. So he qualifies.

 

I have no clue about Azhar Ali since we stopped test cricket versus them after his debut and also because he is not a regular in the LOI formats which we play against them..

 

How about wahab Riaz..?

He threw tantrums at times like going to the media and complaining regarding selection of 2015 wc or shot some video in cricket academy as he was unhappy.

I heard of that too. I don't think he should be remembere for one or two incidents but for the body of work.

Misbah was a no. 5, VVS, Allan border, Steve Waugh spent good chunks of their careers at these positions. No shame in that.

No. 

 

Overrates himself way too much even though he gets thrashed all around. The way he kept on provoking Watson in the 2015 WC was disgusting. Then watto gave him a KLPD , winning the game for Australia  .

Context matters.  Pakistan was so woefully short of middle order batting quality and experience, that Misbah really should have moved up.  If not in tests, at least in ODIs.  But he chose not to.  

 

Hats off to Misbah for steering a troubled Pakistani team through some tough times.  But got to call a spade a spade.

He managed to get a side managed by a useless board to top of test rankings. Not sure what spades you’re looking at here.
