[Ramzz]

Poor guy. They will surely ask for his head now.

There was one particular instance i would like to recall. Asad Shaifiqu and Hafeez were batting. Either Asad or Hafeez tried to play a cut shot very close to the body almost edged. They showed Misba's face. He was livid. That kinda underlines his mentality. He thinks playing "zero risk" cricket right till the end is the best way to organize a chase.

I don't see anything wrong in that. If anything, that's the way it should be!

Tuk Tuk ka Baadshah. Misbah usual inning: . . . . . 1 l . . . . 1 l . . . . . . l . . . . . 2 l . . . . . . . . and after countless dots and tuk tuks, comes 2 sixes. and in the mean time when he's at the crease the rest of the team is back in the hut bc of the pressure he builds on others. But can't solely blame him, that's his usual way of playing. Back in '07 T20 final he brought the game back from no where, and he has been in awesome touch in Test matches for Pakistan lately. Not sure about his place in ODIs now.

Ahem, but he was setting himself to make it big in the last few overs.. I'd say right approach. But poorly executed. Anyway, we've to stop blaming Misbah already. It was the other batsmen that let Pak down.

Misbah's mystery innings Misbah-ul-Haq's strike rate at the end of his innings was 73.68; Tendulkar's rate for his 85 was 73.91. That, perhaps, is as good an example as any to illustrate the fact that stats without context is meaningless. Misbah's inexplicable go-slow through the first half of his innings resulted in the asking rate climbing to unmanageable proportions, and it also forced the other batsmen to take risks that might otherwise have been unnecessary. He tried to make up for it later, but apart from helping him reach a personal landmark and improving his strike-rate, his late hits counted for little. Overall, Misbah played out 42 dot balls, which was the most among Pakistan's batsmen. In his first 42 balls, he scored only 17 and played 27 dots. During this period, Pakistan's asking rate went up from 6.07 to 8.45. Younis Khan's sluggish innings didn't help either - add his 13 from 32 balls to Misbah's 17 in his first 42, and Pakistan have every reason to feel their two most experienced batsmen didn't serve them well: in those 74 balls, the two batsmen got a grand total of 30 runs, with no boundaries. Even with the power-hitters to follow, that was a bridge too far.

^^ darn that looks a lot more worse in words. Horrendous really. Not sure what these two were thinking. Imran Khan was so right...Pak needed someone like Umar Akmal or Razzaq in bw these two to keep a good balance.

We always have a friend in each team. It was Tait against Australia, Gul and Misbah today, hope we make a few friends on Saturday as well. :two_thumbs_up:

[jaggadaku]

It was great captaincy by Dhoni that didn't allow easy singles even after power play was over he only had three fielders outside the ring
