All those having a go at Misbah's captaincy, you've made your point to some extent. Might well be time for a change but who will you make captain? Hafeez?!
 
Dhoni with injury still fighting and misbah made this match nai;-bitting by his poor captncy :(
 
WICKET! Bishoo is bowled by Ali for 28. GUY 239/10 off 49.4 overs Wintz 9* PAK wins by 7 runs
 
asad ali bowled the last over and bishoo is bowled. Pak win by 7 runs and 2 balls ... it was this close.
 
Lol Pakistan win, and fans say it's an embarrassment.

A win is a win, and plus it's a warm up game.
 
giving Rehman and Afridi overs and overs after they keep on failing is ludicrous.
He's probably trying out bowlers given it's a warmup. Remember him doing it in other warm ups. Afridi especially is going to play so might as well see how he is.

Afridi isn't very adaptable as a bowler. Can't bowl with the new ball, can't bowl at death. Bowls when it's easier generally and even then doesn't keep down the singles great. Misbah struggles to use him. Plus he's out of form. When Afridi does fire it's often unpredictable, so Misbah's taking the time to see how he can best use him and his strengths. Misbah's probably just testing him out seeing if he's in form or not.

and misbah give asad ali long run resting juni and gave rizwan and umin good situation bcoz if they play they will definetly play at number 6 and 7 so i think misbah was 70% good in this warm up as captain.... what u say ?
 
this match kinda left a bad taste
Why we won and Misbah was trying out things. According to those stats you posted Hafeez only bowled 4. Misbah usually gets 10 out of him. And some more from Irfan too likely. Add those in and Afridi wouldn't have bowled nearly as much, don't think Guyana would have got anywhere near the total.

I won't be surprised if his captaincy has the same level of "pathetic" in the coming ODIs.

experiments or not it was too close for comfort. why would you think afridi wouldnt have bowled nearly as much... when he went for 6 an over in SA he still bowled 7 overs...
 
oh really if Misbah was trying out things why was Riaz given a bat ahead of Rizwan etc and why didn't Haris bat?

Irfan was injured. And Hafeez was getting smashed too.

Rizwan won't play Umar will keep. Might as well give practice to those who are playing. Misbah wants Riaz to perform with the bat, it's why he's picked. To not make our tail as long.

Harris didn't bat as he again unlikely to play in the match. Asad Shafiq will be preferred over him.

why should Asad Shafiq be picked over Haris? what has he exactly done in ODIs except for that supposed experience of 40 games??

He shouldn't but he will.

I thought he'd pick Harris, but by not playing him in the warm up and sticking with Asad, think the other posters were right, Asad's gonna be picked.
 
think logically if haris would have been played first choice over asad, then no point even taking asad in squad. i think you'll see asad in first 2 games, if he continues to fail then haris will be given chance.
