Sorry but what was his job? Eat balls score at a slow rate put pressure on the rest and depart? If yes then i agree, job well done misbah!

He got the team closer to the target by 60 odd runs with riskless cricket....

That is not putting pressure on the rest... that is him doing his job.
 
Cant believe people are calling for the Power play.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO NEED to take it right now.

The only thing it will do is make the players lose concentration and give their wickets away.

I disagree, it will mean that ones will more likely become twos and the odd boundary will sneak through

Yes, there is a danger of losing your head but let's hope they use their heads instead
 
44.5 Mooney to Umar Akmal, FOUR Too short and smacked between Joyce and Stirling through point


we all knw hw he played that shot!!

So his job isnt to finish the match and win it for us it is to score at an incredibly slow rate and then get out?
 
A six from Younis? :O

Great partnership, how can they not televise this? :facepalm:
 
End of the over,15 from it ! Very productive over for Pakistan.

Pakistan 210/4 (45.0 ov)

Misbah got out when we needed 91 runs...not what I would call getting the job done, instead he put pressure on the team!!!

45.3 Johnston to Umar Akmal, no run. Straight back and good fielding by the bowler
hhmm he will go for a big one nw
 
imagine umer as an opener, how much of a good start he will give us there. he will have like 5x more impact on the match in that position. ahhhhh, if only they play him there.
 
45.4 Johnston to Umar Akmal, 1 run. Stirling too deep to stop the single
 
45.5 Johnston to Younis Khan, FOUR Beutifully timed through extra cover

Ideally yes... by being at one end.

Its never a ONE MAN show.... he has to get us as close as he can... with riskless cricket.

We could have AFRIDI in there at that time... Strike rate 120.... but if its HIGH RISK cricket... it will only succeeed one in 10.

At each batting position you need different type of cricketers.

PS: From what I understand (and I may be wrong as I havent followed it all) he wasnt out when he was given.

He didnt get the job done fully..... Its an 11 man game.

He did what his job is to do.... not as successfully as most days but successfully none the less.
 
Younis Khan is a top class player with a fantastic personality. :14:

What a display from him, check out the SR! :O
