Australia v Pakistan | 2015 World Cup | Quarter-Finals | 20th March, 2015 | Adelaide | Pak innings

Misbah legend? How did he deserve that status? Over 160 odis and ZERO hundreds, a decent player at best

Almost 400 games and 8000 runs with 6 ODI centuries and an average of what 23? Thats Afridi
160 ODIs - 5000+ runs no centuries but 47 average and alot of 50s to his name... Thats Misbah!

Afridi 19 years career
Misbah less than 10 years career...

So who is decent and who is a legend...

MISBAH!

Afridi is rubbish, Misbah was average/good.

But in Pakistan Misbah is legendary OD batter for some and Afridi the clown is legend for others.AWFUL
 
Everyone got starts. I think the word "aggressive" got us. Trying to impose ourselves when we didn't need to.

I hate the word "aggressive".
 
Pak badly needs an Indian batting coach, i'm now not even against Saleem malik to coach the batters
 
come on adil, you can hit sixes i know. i spent time following nz warm up games even

Misbah is definitely not average. You can argue that he isn't a legend but to call him average is incredibly stupid when you look at his stats. I guess you are one of Misbah's irrational haters.
 
commentators still think Pakistan can defend this, what the hell

May be the pace battery of yesteryears - 2W, Shoaib, Aaqib or their kind, but not this attack. The current bowlers are very good don't get me wrong, but I haven't seen them run through sides yet...
 
We need a massive change for this team start from Waqar (Coach), Shehzad, Jamshed, Akmal, Maqsood and Younis to be kicked from the squad

I said he's between average and good, but again, you guys needs a batting hero badly
 
Impressed with Ehsan Adil's batting. Reminds me of Razzaq. If he can improve a bit more on his batting, he will be useful

Defendable Total

in old days with wasim akram, waqar, mohammad zahid, saqlain, etc.

has to be a miracle to win. not just we have to bowl superbly, field superbly, but aus have to throw away few wickets as well, as pitch/conditions/runs are big enough factors to extract mistake/wicket
 
I think we got this not because we got 211 but we consumed too much time which means Australia will bat in night

He's carried this brittle line up for so long on his shoulders. Ganguly was made the captain around the same circumstances and he had his team rallying around him. Misbah however was a lone warrior and it's such a shame that no one else supported him

How many ODI wickets Misbah has as his contribution with the ball,???

Yes, but he's in no way a legendary batter, he has done a great service to Pak at a difficult time (Spot Fixing) he did well with his OD batting, but he can't be considered great.

Imagine playing at that consistency when you are 40 years old. He is under pressure in every single game and the man just soaks in the pressure. He never had a chance to play freely. He was always rebuilding. I consider him a legend because of the role he played in making Pakistan atleast competetive in the last 5 years

Agree brother.

We can label him as legend or great, but internationally he won't be ranked so high.

WE need 5-6 proper batters or we will be behind Bangs in some years.
 
On the bright side, Indians have been getting Australian beat downs for the last 3 months :))
