Would India have won 3-0 if not for Misbah ul Haq blocking our way?

[fineleg]

one commentator was saying this (yardley?) and I agree we would have been real close to 2-0 or 3-0 if not for MBH. What do you say?

[Mr. Wicket]

Would India have won 3-0 or 2-0 with a useful second spinner?

Younis, Yousuf, Salma Butt and Kamran have played crucial knocks at the right time to earn Pakistan couple of draws. I don't reckon it was just Misbah that did it all for Pakistan.

Younis' date=' Yousuf, Salma Butt and Kamran have played crucial knocks at the right time to earn Pakistan couple of draws.

But the rest would not have been sufficient had MBH scored 30s If you keep the rest as the same, and MBH only 30, then they would have been in trouble. MBH also ate up time in the Tests. 2-0 atleast if not for MBH

Take the main batsman or bowler out of any series and ask the question. Hypothetical and fairly meaningless.

Bruce Yardley was commenting about this, and I seemed to think he is right -- atleast 2-0 if not 3-0 if we could have picked up MBH early in the matches. I thought I'll see what others feel about it. Ofcourse it is hypothetical. Nothing serious here.

[Donny]

Yeah. No worries. I just meant that sort of thing has no relevance unless you do the same to the other team. Turn Dada's 102 in the second Test and his 239 & 91 in the third into 10, 23 & 9. What do we have then ? 1-1, 1-2 to Pakistan ?

Had India not prepared pan cakes pitches in 2 & 3 test, who knows Pak wud have won 2-1.

Its Mohammed Sami ....who saved Pakistan in a strange way by holding one end up
