Is Misbah-ul-Haq responsible for the destruction of Pakistan's fast bowling legacy?

[Rana]

It took pakistan 2 years to win a test at home yesterday, meanwhile Misbah maintain an unbeaten streak at home as coach and as captain.

But nahi jee, Misbah is the problem

This is what happens when you put your learn into places where you have no business.

Misbah had no business getting involved in white ball cricket after his retirement.

Misbah's results was the second best after Imran. Unbeaten in UAE. Series win in NZ, WI, and Srilanka. Draw in England. South Africa and Australia are the only two place he failed in. During the 90's and early 2000s Pakistan lost 2 series to Aus at home, and 1 each to SA, England, zimbabwe, srilanka and India. 7 series lost where Pakistan were the hosts.

Funny you mentioned Australia, England and South Africa were the only places Misbah failed , what else ?, they are the only strong teams . Winning against team like SL, and particularly the weakest them of all, West Indies is nothing to be proud of . What was the result of when he took the team to New Zealand last time in 2016-17, he failed as a batsman and also as captain , lost all tests and same story when the team went to Australia after New Zealand under him. He was in mid 40s and failed as batsman and captain but refused to resign, until he was kicked of.

Winning some test with the help of two chuckers at the substandard pitch of UAE is nothing to be proud about.

Shoaib akhtar should be blamed more than misbah
He set the trend of fighting with the pcb, feigning injuries, being out of shape and not nurturing or leading any of the youngsters

Akram wasn't lightning fast, neither were asif,gul and amir

Wahab and akhtar and sami are pretty much the reason why pakistani cricket has an obsession with pace but not the results
I think talha played two tests, mir hamza is in and out of the team, tabish khan and abdur rauf played one test, abbas was thrown out of the team, junaid was hardly picked and I don't know what happened to ehsan adil

Thankfully Misbah on any TV for CT analysis ,his analysis has been memorised by most of Pak supporters.

Come out of the wicket to play over mid on/off to break shackles.

Use feet to sweep to disrupt the spinners

Bowl pacers with long off to have a defensive line.

 

[Greenstorm]

T20 cricket has destroyed our fast bowlers. Misbah has played some part as well but his negative effect is more visible with our batting.

 

[Mohraheem]

Misbah is the reason why Pakistan keeps failing! His relatives and friends selecting Tuktuk pathetic players!

Another Papa ki pari cricket analyst.

No wonder she’s always interviewing guys like Azhar Ali and Imam ul Haq

Looks like the female analysts of Pakistan love the tuk tuk brand!

 

[Mohraheem]

Misbah was happy with all the tuktuk pakistan did! Cant believe we gave him coaching position after winning CT17

 

[Kianig89]

Misbah took fast bowling for granted by preferring guys like Ehsan Adil, Imran Khan Jr. Aizaz Cheema etc.

Like consumer court , can a case be made against him in Court of Arbitration

I would pay to see Urooj Mumtaz give her a Stone Cold Stunner, Urooj aint here to play with this toxic regime

In the tournament that Pakistan hosted, they suffered consecutive one-sided defeats, mainly due to the "safety first" approach in their batting. This playing style reflected the philosophy of Misbah. Misbah promoted Rizwan to the opening position in T20Is, which marked the beginning of statpadding culture. Babar Azam, who was a promising young player at that time, also experienced a decline. Instead of developing as an aggressive batsman, Babar lost his flair dull. With the inclusion of Imam as a replacement for Fakhar, Pakistan unit added even more slowness to their already slow lineup. This batting lineup almost mimicked the dullness of the 2013 Champions Trophy squad, where once again Misbah was the captain. And the results were also similar.

 

[Major]

ok

 

[Major]

They should hang Misbah and give him the death penalty.

Like a guy not working with PCT needs to be held accountable. Either you jail him like Amir or send him to the gallows.

 

[Kianig89]

Very difficult question, let's agree Misbah is to blame for tuk tuk approach, whom will be blame for pathetic bowling.

 

[gazza619]

Just accept you are mediocre. One man cant make you. One man cant destroy you.

 

[shaz619]

What has this thread got to do with Misbah? Even though he has won an ICC tournament.

Point is, Akhtar is getting personal with Babar who unlike Akhtar has won an ICC Trophy and has also won a personal ICC achievement trophy aswell.

A guy like Akhtar that dragged Pakistan's name around with his antics should be the last one to get personal with Babar.

What did Misbah achieve as a player in ICC tournaments in comparison, what did he actually do personally for his team ? He is largely remembered for costing his country two world trophy’s to their arch rivals, if there’s something I missed beyond that let me know, Misbah surrendering to India is far beyond any controversy which Akhtar was involved with. You’ve turned this into a piety contest opposed to sticking to the cricket, did Misbah grow his dari and tickle your backside with it or something.

 

[shaz619]

He has struggled most against bowlers who turn the ball into him. His strike rate against off spin is something like 65 in this period and teams are targeting him just like NZ did in this Champions Trophy.

I bet though majority of the attacks were weak as well, he has an obvious flaw against spin bowling but in those 41 games I doubt he faced full strength attacks every single time, apart from in an ICC tournaments.

Easy to call others as fraud, when you yourself bought a shame to Pakistan.

1. Is that Alex Hales?

2. He can drink whatever he wants.

Yes that’s Alex, he was inspired by Akhtar in those days, who wasn’t.

Who is Misbah going to inspire besides the cowards who played India last week.

 

[Major]

As a representative of Pakistan, he cant.

 

[Kianig89]

Yes, Misbah asked Imad Wasim to play 65SR in a low chase against India in Wt20 24, he instructed Amir to bowl a pathetic Super Over.

Misbah has plotted to include Haris Rauf in every game

 

[Asif321]

Awais Zia was right about Misbah . A very defensive captain hence Pakistan was at rock bottom in Odis under him . He tried super hard to bring his faisalabad wolves players into team . But they failed miserably. He didn’t even let Sarfraz come in till adnan akmal got injured and was forced to pick Sarfraz . A good test captain but a miserable ODI captain with zero vision in developing players . Rizwan is similar to him . Apna kaam chalta rahe baaki bhaad me
