mishra Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 If Afridi stays at wicket then you guys will never loose game Thats the aura, Lala brings. Now I agree to the extent that he hasnt done justice to his potential. But apart from selected few, historically Pakistani batting isnt all that glorious. Someday He hopefully, will redeem himself with a odi world cup (allready T20 in his bag). But dont kill the beast because others are failing. If you got few decent batters on his side he will become lethal. Till then nurse him.
mishra Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 There are so many instances when India was top in chasing both in ODIs and in tests that some of the wins were because of the likes of Ishan Sharma and Zaheer keepign their cool. From Laxman's innings to Sachin's there were so many crucial partnership. If Pakistan had kept wickets in hands' date=' they would have won easily in all of the matches you mentioned. and the senior most player Afridi percipitated the collapse most of the time[/quote'] Whenever number 7 batsman is out you know game is gone unless you got Likes of Dhoni, Raina on the other end who themselves will hit fours and sixes and not rely on number 7,8,9 to accelerate the run rate. Afridi was clearly aware that onus was on him to score quickly. Miss Bah or any other batsmen will never make it.

In fact chances are any chasing team will not lose as long as a batsman remains unbeaten till the end, but the hard part is remaining unbeaten till the end and taking the team through a la Dhoni :hatsoff:
mishra Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 As usual. Miss bah failed again. Pakistan 99/5. But Asim will blame Lala as soon as Lala gets out
Naaz-neesh Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Afridi is like buying insurance, you feel at peace and calm, but you know when the moment comes to claim the insurance company will never pay up. That's Afridi= car or house insurance. False illusion of calmness for us.
Sid Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Misbah has done it again,28 of 32 balls in a tontee tontee chase :cantstop:
nikred Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Last match, I felt Dhoni pulled a Misbah. :((
asterix Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Too much moving here and there without much runs.. Cheel Ka Chillana Jyada...
Raghav_12 Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 The way Dhoni's stay on the crease till the very end ensures a win for India, Misbah's stay till the very end means a loss for Pakistan. It happens with amzing regularity. Hat's off to Misbah.
Ultimate_Game Posted February 27, 2012 Author Posted February 27, 2012 Misbah :haha: The guy's track record of losing the close ones when he's at the crease is simply unbelievable :cantstop:
