Not a great display by the batsmen.

What is batting coach doing?

Mickey Arthur played with two all-rounders for exactly this reason.

Misbah was exactly the same as skipper as he is as coach: he never saw a problem with selecting 4 Number 11’s.

What is batting coach doing?

Coaching, scouting, and of course planning for the PSL.

What results did Mickey achieve by playing two alrounders?
What was the team ranking when he was ousted?

 

[aukhan]

Green pitch was prepared on Misbah's request. We batted first after winning the toss. Misbah and his atrocious and idiotic decisions.

I was hopping for some 290/4 at close lol

They played 3 Tests in Australia in 2016-17 without suffering the hidings that Misbah’s 2019-20 team just did.

And they had a spell at Number 1: this team is in line to be dead last in the World Test Championship.

Azher should also be mentioned here

Eating the money he gets as a CS, Coach and many more things he has took over.

Pathetic person

Afridi was right all along this guy is a defensive kitten

164/4 was there in the first place because of Babar and Asad. You are never set on this wicket and when a wicket falls new batsmen are always gonna struggle more to get started. Though one can still argue better effort should have been put in.

Yes it was a combination of tough pitch and very ordinary batting. Still at the end of the day game is very much in the balance.

 

[Manager101]

That is what happens when you keep selecting Parchis and abysmal batsmen. Misbah deserves this humiliation for not selecting a team on merit.

Bro, same Mickey Arthur is the coach of SRL now and they are playing with 3 no 11s, no all-rounder (Dilruhan is there for his bowling, they have 6 specialist batsmen), and still doing quite well I guess.

You always see a problem of bottom 4 number 11s (though it’ll be a bit injustice to Yasir), but never see the problem with the batting of front 7....

 

[Amjid Javed]

This wasnt a 191 all out pitch. When we were 100+ / 3 and cruising before daft shots by babar and the tail. Pathetic school boy batting is to blame here.

 

[Mamoon]

This is a 300 pitch and Sri Lanka should get close to that mark if they do not self-destruct tomorrow. We deserve to lose this match.
