"Biggest problem for Pakistan right now is they are not in form" : Misbah-ul-Haq

[MenInG]

Misbah-ul-Haq speaking at Salaam Cricket 2019


Misbah on Pakistan's chances of beating India in World Cup 2019
Misbah: Seems like the least possibility this year but may be we can beat India this time.


India vs England bigger than India vs Pakistan in World Cup 2019?
Misbah: Logically, Bhajji is right but Pakistan is a dangerous team. In cricket, you cannot say anything. This Pakistan team is capable. There was a collapse in the last match. India have a better chance. Like he said, India and England are the two favourites. Given the rivalry, intensity.... You never know what can happen in World Cups. Pakistan were strong in the 1990s yet India would win every time in World Cups.


Misbah: The biggest problem for Pakistan right now is they are not in form. Self-belief takes a hit when you lose 14-15 matches on the trot. But this is cricket so you never know. One good innings from any single player can change things around. But if you see it logically, then obviously India has the advantage.

[Kashmirilion]

Absolute genius this guy how did it he figure that out? Best cricketing brain in the world.

 

[topspin]

Thank you Sherlock-ul-Haq. Would never have known if it wasn't for your analysis.

 

[Technics 1210]

He is spot on about one aspect though, all it takes is one win/player performance, and the winning momentum will ensue. The caveat here being it has to be on the tomorrow vs England!

 

[Syed1]

Damn how did he figure that one out???



Best cricketing brain in the country.

 

[Titan24]

Just need a win from somewhere to get some confidence back and form will follow hopefully.

 

[hadi123]

Wow mashallah what great analysis. He must have done a lot of research in order to make this absolute genius statement

 

[Pakpak]

What a genius. What next, he will tell us our batting is garbage?

 

[Itachi]

Pakistan though losing, was making 330+ scores. How the batsman are not in form?

 

[Major]

what to expect when you have a captain like Sarfraz. The guy has made the team a joke..

He cant take responsibility, doesnt know what to do.

even if a team is out of form, you need the captain to perform and give inspiration to the team, but no. This guy has just lost it.

 

[Runner Up]

They scored 300+ consistently against England recently.

 

[Major]

Pakistan though losing, was making 330+ scores. How the batsman are not in form?

Our preparations were not being focused on polishing the team for the world cup.

We were giving try outs to all the players.

First the Australia series was used as a tryout, then we even decided to use the england series as a try out

We didn't bother to come up with formations and polish a set team.

THose 330+ scores were coming off due to individual brilliance, not because of a team effort. Hence we lost those games due to know no clear way of approaching those targets

and our bowlers are terribly out of form.

As if Misbah won Pakistan any tournament. He is a proven choker.Only thing he can do to play for himself and get out when need acceleration or finish it of.

Still wipes the floor with oldie lover serial loser Misbah.

 

[Usman Chadda]

I know Misbah seems like he is stating the obvious here, but this team is going through a major confidence crisis.

No way are these guys bad enough to lose a game within four hours. The worst news is that they're up against an opponent that plays to destroy your confidence.

I feel sorry for our boys tbh.

 

[JibranAnsari]

I disagree , i think the bowling is not good enough. Batting is average and bowling is below average.

 

[Hawkeye]

Doesn't help they have a tool like Sarfraz as their captain.

 

[AFM]

Quick someone forward this to Sarfraz and Mickey. Misbah has figured out the problem

 

[Mamoon]

How many Pakistani players will get into the World XI at the moment? Zero.

That alone sums up that it is not only about confidence or lack of form. Our players are simply not good enough and we have to accept the fact that we are a thoroughly mediocre team.

Unfortunately, accepting the fact that there is a dearth of top quality players in Pakistan hurts our egos.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Still wipes the floor with oldie lover serial loser Misbah.

Not really.

Misbah led Pakistan to test mace also.

Sarfraz probably couldnt even if it meant being born 3 times.

Misbah's strength was tests and he duly proved it.

 

[topspin]

Still wipes the floor with oldie lover serial loser Misbah.

Even I have to agree with this. At least Sarfraz won something in England, whereas Misbah lost every game when he was leading his side in an ICC comp (back in 2013).

 

[Syed1]

in an ICC comp held in England*

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Yeah lets ignore Sarf winning an international tournament.

Did I ?

You are the one who said Misbah doesn't come close with a supercilious tone.

Both have done enough for their country.

However, Misbah didnt know when to step away.

And it seems like Sarfraz is also going to destroy his legacy unless he somehow magically wins the World Cup.

Sarfaraz has already achieved more as a LOI captain than Misbah even if we come 10th at the WC.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Sarfaraz has already achieved more as a LOI captain than Misbah even if we come 10th at the WC.

Yes.

But Sarfraz has already left the test team clueless.

Unless you obviously avoid watching Tests, it is an issue.

By the way, even West Indies have won the CT. Its value is much less than WC.

 

[HappyWarsFan]

Misbah is a times 10 better captain than sarfraz. He won a lot of important test series.

Also he won asia cup 2012.

 

[Syed1]

Yes.

But Sarfraz has already left the test team clueless.

Unless you obviously avoid watching Tests, it is an issue.

By the way, even West Indies have won the CT. Its value is much less than WC.

Yeah I didn't realize this WC was in test format

 

[topspin]

Yes.

But Sarfraz has already left the test team clueless.

Unless you obviously avoid watching Tests, it is an issue.

By the way, even West Indies have won the CT. Its value is much less than WC.

Care to remind us, what Misbah's record was when he last led the side to an ICC comp. held in England? W/L ratio would be nice as well.

Many thanks in advance.

 

[HappyWarsFan]

Why do you hate Misbah? He is one of the best players and captains in our history.

 

[Hasan123]

I don't get why Sarfraz being better than Misbah as a captain is so important. They both play for Pakistan lol. Don't see Australia fans arguing about Waugh and Ponting reigns as captain.

Even if Sarfraz is better than Misbah , doesn't make him a great captain.

 

[topspin]

Why do you hate Misbah? He is one of the best players and captains in our history.

I don't hate Misbah I hate what he did to Pakistan cricket (especially in ODIs):

- 2007 WT20 final choke against Joginder Sharma (of all bowlers, wasn't long until this cricketer had to switch careers and become a policeman!)
- 2011 WC - Mohali enough said!
- Post 2011 WC - 2015 WC Captaincy: his ultra conservative approach, preference for seniors (as opposed to team development) and preference for defensive batsmen at the top of the order is what paved way for Pakistan's regression, to a ranking outside the top 8.
- Like his ODI career SR, his batting SR during the 2014 calendar year and in the 2015 WC was also 70-75.

This is just a brief summary of the damage he caused to Pakistan cricket. Why should I pretend otherwise?

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

I don't understand why so much importance is given to the game against India. With the current run of terrible performances, I wouldn't be looking past the next game.

 

[ILcricket]

Very profound by Misbah . I think Pak will do better than expected .

 

[chacha kashmiri]

Anyone know when he gets his level one and level 2 coaching badges?

 

[Technics 1210]

Yes.

But Sarfraz has already left the test team clueless.

Unless you obviously avoid watching Tests, it is an issue.

Ahhh another Pakistan fan who belittles Pakistan's performance in ICC tournaments.

Despite CT having less value than a WC, Pakistan is one of 3 teams to complete the ICC Treble. You can ramble on how Sarfraz is not a good captain etc, and I am sure many will agree with you, but trying to undermine Pakistan's performance in ICC competitions just reeks of chronic desperation.

When is the next Champions Trophy?

 

[ShahKhan007]

It takes someone with PHD and a brain like Misbah to figure things out.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Care to remind us, what Misbah's record was when he last led the side to an ICC comp. held in England? W/L ratio would be nice as well.

Many thanks in advance.

Misbah wasnt a good captain in ODI's especially after Ajmal and Hafeez couldnt chuck.

If Sarfraz is better than Misbah its purely in limited format.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Yeah I didn't realize this WC was in test format

Yeah then Sarfraz should better at least 2015 WC.

 

[Technics 1210]

When is the next Champions Trophy?

There isn't one. What's your point?

 

[Syed1]

Yeah then Sarfraz should better at least 2015 WC.

We know you will be hoping for him to fail. Amazing fans.

 

[ShahKhan007]

Misbah is a huge culprit in fostering this meek and defeatist mentality. Its funny how the only way we get to have a chance in winning games is when our most aggressive batsman Fakhar plays 50 to hundred balls otherwise we are toast.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

There isn't one. What's your point?

Thats how important it is.

Now you can harp about it being a a treble and best thing since sliced bread, but not many teams care enough about Champions Trophy to put an actual time and effort to win it.

Tell you what.

Are you stupid?

I would love for Pakistan to win because I have nothing against Sarfraz.

He tries hard.

He isnt good enough.

If he somehow marshalls Pakistan to a World Cup final or a win, I will shut up about him.

I know the CT win hurt "fans" like you.... how can the country we despise so much actually win something.



For the rest of us it was an excellent win in an international tournament. Go back to the cave you crawled out of.

Yes even if it was equivalent to World Cup, its been 02 years bhai.

Do u think we can shut up about it and focus on the current tournament ?

 

[rhony]

Ideal game for Pak to get back into the groove. Nothing to lose. That's when Pak plays it's best.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Who is not in form? Pakistan scored a lot of 300 plus against England recenty.

 

[Syed1]

You are the one who kept harping that Misbah is better captain than Sarfaraz. Now when reality is shown you changing goal posts.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Well at least dont lie.

I said Misbah is equal to Sarfraz because they both won something.

If you think Sarfraz is greater, thats fine too.

It was your utter contempt for Misbah and forgetting he took us to top of test rankings, that irked me.

You are welcome to consider CT 17 and Sarfraz as high points of your life.

 

[saeedhk]

Sarfraz is a mediocre ODI batsman and a poor captain. However, I will take Sarfaraz over Misbah in ODIs.

When it comes to being medicore in ODIs, Misbah is in a league of his own. A horrendous batsman and captain.

Still remember he was 4 off 36 balls in an ODI against the West Indies.

If the CT is pointless, then why did you mention WI won it? You clearly remember past winners of the CT despite claiming it is meaningless. Though let me guess, CT is meaningless if Pakistan win, but any other team, it's a credible ICC tournament/win.

I mentioned the ICC treble to illustrate the fact that Pakistan perform well in ICC tournaments despite your efforts in belittling Pakistan. Even though the CT is now a defunct tournament it doesn't change the fact that Pakistan perform well in ICC tournaments.

Now tell me with a straight face you did not watch the CT17 tournament, or the CT17 final, or any other CT tournament? You cannot. So don't try it.

 

[Chokli]

Pakistan would have been worse if it wasn't for him.

The down fall Pakistan is going through now would have started in 2012ish if Misbah wasn't there.

 

[topspin]

sarfraz fans can only defend the 11 match losing streak of Pakistan by bashing Misbah

DOnt know whether i should call them sarfraz fan or just karachi supporters. munafiqs

You're no different either. I still remember the time you claimed Misbah's a better captain than Imran Khan because he won more tests.

Also I remember the time you bashed Gayle, as if he's levels below Misbah as a batsman. You need to look in the mirror before calling other posters munafiqs.

 

[Syed1]

You come across as very ignorant when you realize that Sarfaraz wasn't even captain for 6 off those 11 matches.



Ironic you will call anyone anything. All you do is personality worship. We all remember how you switched loyalties from IU to PZ because Misbah went there. Never forget your auqaat.

Difference between supporting a national team and a franchise team which has no affiliation to any city in reality.

Also, reread what i post, 11 match losig streak of Pakistan. But you feel insecure about it.

Still Sarfraz is under a 5 match losing streak which is just terrible.

yes we saw taht when we buddled out for 105 or when we came into the world cup by losing all matches againt England.

he sure is wiping floor. good sweeper, hopefully we dont sweep a loss int he wc like we did agianst england.

Don't bother mate.

It's pretty obvious Pakistan was a much better team under Misbah than Sarfaraz.

 

[topspin]

I'd have to disagree mate.

Pakistan would have been worse if it wasn't for him.

The down fall Pakistan is going through now would have started in 2012ish if Misbah wasn't there.

This may seem the obvious perception because he didn't care about developing teams for the future because of phobia for picking younger players, so he looked good with a lot of dead weight in his team.

Moreover he had preference for all the defensive batsman at the top of order, as evident with how he utilised Umar Akmal as a lower order hitter. I don't rate Sohaib Maqsood, but after he scored a 50 at number 3, he was also pushed down to number 6 in the order.

Misbah is exactly what you need if you want to destroy the confidence of new blood in the batting dept. I don't want to think what he would have done to Fakhar, Sharjeel, Babar in ODIs. I can pretty much assure you, his friend Hafeez would be the man opening the bat today, if he was still captain. I still cannot forget, how he gave a test cap to another friend of his: Iftikhar Ahmed during the final test in the England tour 4 years ago.

With the bat in hand he was a serial choker when Pakistan needed him to step-up in a run chase. Along with this, he had a poor SR, so it comes to no surprise that he failed to score a single ton in his entire ODI career. He did play some handy match-saving knocks to help the side reach a competitive score, but in this format, he never played a match winning knock.

For the above reasons, it wouldn't have been worse without him, but we should actually be saying it wouldn't have been any worse for Pakistan cricket if they were without him.

There isn't any difference at all. You show your loyalty to your city the same way you show loyalty to nation. In your case you have never shown loyalty to either so agree with Syed you have shown your auqaat.

In all fairness, Syed has criticised Sarfraz of late. I don't agree with his views most of the time, but he has shown he's the bigger man, because unlike him you have never accepted or had the balls to criticise Misbah despite all his flaws. So overall, you behaviour is far more cultish.

[MENTION=147429]Chokli[/MENTION] Also compare Misbah's CT in 2013 and Sarfraz's CT in 2017. The former lost all games, whilst the latter won it. I despise both of them but this further proof, that Misbah was the inferior of the two in ODIs. Don't forget England has been Pakistan's happy hunting ground in the last 20 years in ICC comps.

Those games could go either way mate. It's a short tournament with no margin for error, we saw what the CT 2017 Champions were capable of right after.

CT 2017 was an anomaly.

World Cup 2019 will give the true picture of Sarfaraz.

The reason for the disparity with their achievements in the CT tournaments they led in England, was the team selection.

Misbah was central to the exclusion of Afridi and Umar Akmal (who was in-form at the time), he selected Imran Farhat and a raw Umar Amin instead, which is just unforgivable really. Can you imagine if we had players of this calibre playing today? This is why I say again:

It wouldn't have been worse for the side without Misbah, but it wouldn't have been any worse for Pakistan cricket if they were without him.

 

[The_Odd_One]

Misbah was the best batsman in his team. Sarfraz is not even the best wicket keeper batsman in domestic cricket.

Misbah wipes the floor with Sarfraz as a cricketer and captain. Sarfraz can only dream of playing a knock that Misbah played at the Lord’s. Sarfraz’s only achievement as captain has been winning a third grade tournament like CT. In everything else, he’s as bad as Azhar Ali.

 

[Major]

There isn't any difference at all. You show your loyalty to your city the same way you show loyalty to nation. In your case you have never shown loyalty to either so agree with Syed you have shown your auqaat.

exactly, but accoriding to them its alright if sarfraz doesnt bat well.

WHenever a team is losing, it is important that the captain leads. When teh captain has to hide behind his team then what could one expect?

Now you obviously havent studied business subjects.

Franchises are brand names. You pay money to use the brand name. In PSL, the teams such as quetta, lahore are all brand names.

its just a way to milk money. A lahore brand will ahve more value than a quetta brand.

Yeah because loyalty is based on business brands, that's why departmental cricket in Pakistan has been such a roaring financial model for the rest of the world.

Mate I would suggest you slide away and go watch some reruns of IPL games and cheer yourself up.

yes and while you go around crying that the pitches were tailor made against Pakistan and its a sazish.

but then again not surprising from a person who equates Brand loyalty to National loyalty .

Now you are getting flustered and making stuff up. If you can provide one quote where I even hinted that pitches were tailor made against Pakistan and it is sazish, then I will happily withdraw all my comments in this thread and apologise personally to you. It seems you are now twisting in a completely different direction because you didn't want to defend your lack of loyalty to your regional team. You could just have said you have no loyalty, you don't need to defend anything to me.

Oh yeah when it comes to centuries can you remind me again how many did Misbah score.... the number escapes my memory.

Ye a baat bahut pahele hi souch ma chahiyetha. Picking and playing players on past performance after sell by isn’t the smartest idea in WC. This is not damn bilateral that there will be soft games - every team tries their best to fight it out. At least I Hope next man in charge will slash average age of the squad by at least 6 years to start for next WCs preparations.

Our preparations were not being focused on polishing the team for the world cup.

We were giving try outs to all the players.

First the Australia series was used as a tryout, then we even decided to use the england series as a try out

We didn't bother to come up with formations and polish a set team.

THose 330+ scores were coming off due to individual brilliance, not because of a team effort. Hence we lost those games due to know no clear way of approaching those targets

and our bowlers are terribly out of form.

And that's clearly Inzi's fault so why are you blaming Sarfaraz who in fact was dropped to try the said combinations.

"Biggest problem for Pakistan right now is they are not in form" : Misbah-ul-Haq. Too bad if we are out of form. The tournament is not gonna care what team is in or out of form. We have lot some ten one days consecutively.
