Rich coming from someone who posts gems like "Babar should come out to bat in a super over because he can hit 6 x 4s" and truly believes Joginder Sharma had a more impactful career than Shoaib Akhtar.
If I'm in a committee and I vote in favour of sacking an individual in my organisation, only to then decide to put my name forward right after their role becomes vacant, what I've done here is a conflict of interest regardless of what the outcome is.
Misbah's conflict of interest would've been disregarded had he performed well but there was no chance of him succeeding because his cricketing IQ and the brand of cricket that he wanted Pakistan to play was quite simply substandard and archaic. He's by far the worst captain I've seen in tests played in Australia. I remember very well how he was bowling Yasir Shah to the ground with all those leg-side fields. He was being mocked and ridiculed by the Channel 9 comm. box.
2017 CT was the most memorable memory for me because of how Pakistan fared in the previous edition of the tournament due to Misbah's archaic cricketing mind. As soon as he was gone for good from white ball cricket, there was a complete contrast in fortunes:
2013 CT
Host: England
Captain: Misbah
Outcome: Lost all matches including a game against India.
2017 CT
Host: England
Captain: Sarfraz
Outcome: Brought the CT home after beating India in the final by 180 runs
Just to make it clear I don't rate Sarfraz. All I'm saying is he just wasn't substandard as Misbah.
You may or may not be be smart in real life but the more you parrot this, the more you expose your cricketing intellect.
You have no absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
I wanted Younis Khan dropped from ODIs after the 2011 World Cup - I actually said this recently to
@mominsaigol
As expected, you failed to address this:
I will answer it for you since you are incapable of doing so.
It tells us that hardly anyone on PP rates Misbah's cricketing intellect and his supporters have the same struggles when it comes to their understanding of the game. This is evident from the following gems that you and Major have bestowed us with:
- Misbah > Inzamam in ODIs
- 300 off 800 balls is a better test innings than 350 off 400 balls
- 40-0 > 66/1 after 6 overs in T20 cricket
- Babar should bat in the super over because he can hit 6 x 4s
- Joginder Sharma was a more impactful bowler than Shoaib Akhtar
The bottom line is you and Major are the two biggest Misbah fans here and collectively you have come up with these gems, which are by the worst takes I've ever come across since joining PP. It perfectly sums up your cricketing intellect and why no one should take Misbah fans seriously.
