What's new

Is Misbah-ul-Haq the absolute worse thing to happen to Pakistan cricket ever?

More proof of this being true. Shameless Misbah won't rest till we reach the bottom of the rankings.
 
Has anyone ever heard of the coach being chief selector? Also someone who only retired from playing a couple of years ago,,,
 
With this guy at the helm, there's no choice but to accept and embrace mediocrity.
 
Can’t wait to see Imran and Sohail Khan storming in next game, because experience is the solution to everyone of our problems.

The decision to play Shadab when it was apparent that they have no faith in his bowling was pathetic.
 
A little unfair to say he is the worst thing to happen to Pakistan cricket. But he is arguably the luckiest person in Pakistan Cricket history.

An average batsmen, lacking talent but hard-working. Ignored rightfully when we had actual stars in the 90's and 00's. Somehow enters the team in his 30's, ends up captaining across all the formats where he leads the ODI and T20 teams to some of their darkest days. And immediately after retirement is given the 2 most important roles in the PCB - without any background in either one.

His primary qualification for captaincy, coaching, chief selector.... an MBA
 
My major issue with Misbah is not his lack of experience . Is that he is not someone who screams coach. He doesn't really like playing youngsters. His batting wasn't something very technical or something you want to be coached. As a captain he was defensive and didn't really think outside of the box.

Misbah just doesn't come across as someone who would succeed as a coach.
 
Team selection has improved, but too negative in bowling out teams and plans.
Needs to move away from Yasir Shah and Azhar Ali.

Everything I expected from Misbah and Azhar Ali team is proving true.

Pretty much this.

You expect an MBA holder to be analytical and open minded as opposed to be single/narrow minded, and also receptive to new ideas. However, ever since he was captain till present, he has proved to be the contrary.

Pakistan deserves the humiliation for appointing him as a Head Coach and Chief Selector.

I would love someone to ask Wasim Khan about why he chose Misbah as coach. And explain to him Misbah not backing young players and his technique as a batter not being one you want to coach. With this information why did Wasim Khan choose Misbah?

Misbah doesn't back young players?

Naseem Shah, Shaheen Afridi, Dropped Sarfaraz for Rizwan, Shadab Khan, Abid Ali (not young but new), Musa, Ahsan Ali (T20), Rauf (T20). In his 1 yr in charge he's played and backed plenty of young and new players. Players are getting chances. At some point players have to step up.

I'm wasn't for the Misbah appointment but he hasn't **** the bed since taking over either. Where was Babar the great in the second innings? Shan? Shadab? Players also need to step up and play innings/take wickets when required.
 
In India, he's one of the most well respected Pakistanis.

Because he has turned this Pakistan team into cowards so they respect him and gave India a helping hand in Mohali and let's not talk about the brain fade paddle shot in T20 final. Yes mans get respected everywhere but sometimes you need abit of aggression especially as captain and coach.

The reason misbah is respected in India is that whenever pakistani team collapsed he was the one who stayed till the last .
Misbah's odi batting was similar to ms dhoni (2015-2019).
Their stats don't show how ineffective they were and how they let the team down in every occasion.
Players like Jadhav,misbah,dhoni(2015-2019) belong in the same category.

They will play a scratchy innings Whenever they were required to accelerate and in the last overs when there's no hope left they will start hitting sixes and fours to boost up their averages and strike rate and impress their gullible fanbase.

Actually the quote from usual suspects perfectly describe them-
"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince the world it doesn't exists."
 
He took over captaincy just after the fixing scandal.

His W/L ratio is 1.37. Pakistan became a mediocre side post 2003 and barring Misbah & Rashid(who captained only against Bangladesh) no other captain had a positive W/L record. Inzamam had 11 wins and 11 losses. Younis, Yousuf, Afridi, Malik, Butt, Hafeez, Sarfaraz, Azhar all captained Pakistan in between and under them Pakistan lost more matches than they won.

As a batsman, he wasn't a world beater yet ended with an average of 45+. Not many Pakistani batsmen have achieved that. He played a part in their Test series win in NZL. Also had his role in Lord's test and the 2nd test they won in WI on 2011 tour.

As a test cricketer, he has been one of the biggest contributors for Pakistan Cricket.
 
No Pakistan fan should take heed to the opinions of Indians fans when it comes to Misbah, simply because he was their 12th man in Mohali and also gifted them a win in the 2007 WT20 final.

If Pakistan had won those games with Misbah in the playing XI, I would bet my bottom dollar that the vast majority wouldn’t hold him in such high regard.

Misbah didn’t approve of Shaheen in the beginning of 2019 WC. Later in the tournament, he admitted he was wrong about him. This not only goes to show how inept Misbah’s reading of the game really is, but also if Misbah was captain or coach from 2018 to 2019 WC, he probably wouldn’t even be in the Pakistan squad let alone in the XI.

Picking the odd young player here and there doesn’t cut it when you:

1. Pick Umar Akmal and Shehzad as your first assignment as Head Coach and Chief Selector.
2. Make a declining batsman captain of your test side
3. Have yet to replace Azhar Ali and Asad Shafiq in the test team

He played for himself and always handed India an easy victory in the WCs, that's why he's respected there.

I would love to know as well but also makes you wonder if there is someone higher up than the PCB who was behind his appointment. Without saying his name, I’ll give you a clue, it was the ex-player who didn’t take a liking to Afridi’s captaincy during the 2016 WT20 and would have preferred Misbah to have led the side instead.

He also blocked out Babar so he could play useless oldies and himself. Just as well Babar was head and shoulders above everyone else that he couldn't be ignored for long.

I still remember how Babar was ignored after scoring heavily against Starc and Hazlewood for Pakistan A in 2014, just before the Australia test series in UAE.

It’s worth checking the scorecard of the match and you’ll see that it’s exactly as you say, head and shoulders above everyone else in the side as a batsman. Misbah stunted his development but fortunately Mickey Arthur helped him elevate to be the batsman he is today.
 
IK was the best and Misbah the worst thing happened to Pakistan cricket. Both Niazi from Mianwali, one ATG other all time disaster to Pakistan cricket. Will throw a party the way Misbah will be sacked but doesn;t look like I have to anything anytime soon as PCB is being run by shameless people.
 
Anyone remember how as captain of IU Misbah the great gave Babar just two games and sat him out the rest of the season in the first edition of PSL. Good thing Babar was smart and changed teams from the next season. Otherwise if it was left to Misbah our best bat in decades would still be on the bench.

Yes. Never forget!

He also left Haris Sohail out of the team for years.
 
He is the worst thing ever happened to Pakistan. He knows nothing and keep playing losers even when he was in the team and now he is still doing the same.He has destroyed many careers and he will destroy a lot more.

bro its a hate thread, there is no point in arguing here. If you hate a person, you will believe what you want to believe. Even though alot of the stuff is made up and stupid, but all those points have been argued before,

We lost, emotions are high and people want someone to be blamed, and as usual it would be Misbah. Had he not been coach, he til would had been blamed trust me.

Thing is, the guy is the coach and is here to stay. People can say whatever they want, but fridays line up and game strategy will be decided by that one man and no one could do anything about that. Haters can go cry and even blame misbah for WW2.

The only guy who has an influence and who wil be making decision is Misbah. The rest of the haters could go on social media and post potential line ups, or talk about what they will do if they were coach captain or watever. Some posters try to post hateful comment against him after a couple of hours just to get attention.

In Misbah i trust. I feel confident with whatever decision he takes as he knows better.

I m watching that 2011 semi final right it's really boiling my blood.He lost that match single handedly first by dropping the catch and then putting the pressure on other batsmen.Shameless character.

I hope Babar voices all this in public. No one can touch him as he’s the best player in the side. Need our star player to force him out, just like what Kohli did to Kumble.

You can't really take the process seriously of Misbah being selected as head coach as he was on the panel to decide Mickey Arthur's future and he was being linked with the job.
 
The worse thing to happen to pakistan cricket has been years of a combination of years an inane domestic structures, terrible pitches, lack of playing spaces and a fall in club/schools cricket.

If you're diagnosing the cause than this is it. Misbah can be blamed, and some of his selections have been uninspired. But, at the end of the day, it comes down to your options, and whilst Misbah's staid selections are symptom of these defeats. they are not the disease itself
 
Also [MENTION=135038]Major[/MENTION] before dismissing this section of the forum as a “hate thread”, may I ask why did 80% (of those who participated) not approve of Misbah’s appointment? I can bet that % would shift to almost 100% now, as few of the posters on here were willing to give him a chance, but I’m sure they’ve seen more than enough to want him gone for good.

I’m curious to know, does that make all of us haters?

Just a reminder, a few days back, I gave Misbah the credit for retaining Shan when there was pressure on him to discard the left handed opener from fans and the media.

As Mamoon highlighted earlier in the year, the process was corrupt from the beginning and clearly designed to filter out everyone, so Misbah could secure the role. It was all premeditated.

Misbah is good and I'm behind him. He doesn't deserve this hate. Thought be has made some errors I would agree. Azhar is a bad captain, and certain players need to be dropped.

Admitting he was wrong and now continuing to use him is a bad thing and should be held against him? Clearly he self corrected. Nothing wrong with that. Shaheen was/is a very young and inexperience player. His initial position wasn't something completely out of left field especially given a WC. Admitting mistakes and correcting isn't a sign of ineptness. Thats maturity and ability to self-reflect.

"Picking the odd young player here and there doesn’t cut it"
How many series has he been in-charge? This is his 3rd Test Series as HC, that too after a 6 month layoff due to a global pandemic. Can't blood a completely new team in 1 series. Transitions take a few years.

1) This one I will grant you. As a side note though, he was in a new unfamiliar role and people tend to gravitate towards things they know when in new situations. I credit him for discarding them fairly rapidly after they failed.

2) Were there any other options on the table? After Sarfaraz was ousted, there was no ready replacement. This is on Arthur for not developing someone alongside Sarfaraz to be able to take over. So the PCB went with a known quantity. Sucks that injury and age have caught up to Azhar and his time has come. Hopefully this is his last series as a player, but if not that then certainly as a captain. Besides, I don't think this is a long term appointment to begin with. They probably want to ease Babar into the captaincy.

3) Again, he has been HC for 1 year. He has had 1 FC season played (under new conditions). This is his third series. Azhar up until recently was a reliable player with a good work ethic. Shafiq, probably should have been gone by now. However, I'm willing to give Misbah time to sort the team out.


Look, Misbah wasn't mine or probably any fans 1, 3, or even 5th choice to become HC. However, now that he's got the job he has to deliver obviously. He (or any coach for that matter) would need time to make changes to the team. This isn't a club team where you had out caps left and right. He's got a 3 year contract, if by then the team isn't on the right track then bring out the big guns. He came into a set-up with a solid but not spectacular ODI/T20 team and a Test team that was off the rails. Mickey for all his good work with the limited overs team never got over losing Misbah (the batsman) and Younis. IN 2 years Mickey couldn't stabilize the Test team. You expect Misbah to do it in 3 series? Point to the Australia series as the big failure, but tell me who from Pakistan has won there in 30+ years especially in his first series? He also tried out new blood there too. A bit of courage and a bit of folly. The home series we dominated as we should have. What has he absolutely demolished for everyone to be up in arms over?

The England 1st Test was very competitive. Our team coming off a 6 month layoff, England fresh off a series win and in match form. We held them to a 100+ first innings lead. In the second innings, we failed, but guess what? The young ones also failed there. Babar, Shan, Rizwan...noone came good. Then with the bowling we had them up against the wall before their up and coming stars played a hell of an innings. Yes, Azhar captaincy was lacking at the end but give credit to England batsman too. We held our own in their backyard when they were supposed to thrash us. I hope the competitive series continues. You win some, you lose some, as long as we compete to the end.
 
I don’t think Misbah has shown his worst series yet. This is just the beginning
 
DNA & USP of Pakistan cricket was aggression which is completely destroyed by Misbah in last 8-9 years , this legacy he has given to Azhar Ali , 117 for 5 and spread the field who does that , this is style of Misbah being copied by Azhar Ali , bitter truth, Those have seen, Pakistan cricket in 80's & 90's they can understand this .

Its best time to quit watching Pak cricket. Its the most awful phase but I can assure you this isn't the worst. There will be huge backlash from public once Pakistan loses badly to India or gets thumped by Australia or New Zealand in the most vile manner in a multinational tournament . Pakistan haters will intrude on Pakistani social media pages and abuse Pakistan to the max. The indians main aim is to anger and make them feel shame of the team.

One shouldn't take away the credit where its due Misbah is certainly not the worst thing to happen to Pakistan cricket. It is Wasim Khan and Ehsan Mani. They brought him in whatever the mafia pressure upon them its they who decided this. They screwed livelihoods of domestic cricketers. Destroyed their source of income through dept. cricket. Wasim Khan must be thinking his tenure will be smooth sailing once he adheres to the mafias in PCB by bringing in Misbah. They were testing him and they knocked him down on round 1.

[MENTION=149994]Faiz1978[/MENTION] is right, Azhar's defensive captaincy of captaincy last Saturday mirrored what we used to see from Misbah during his days as skipper.

A good case in point here is the Edgbaston 2016 test, when Pakistan also had a lead of just over 100 runs. If you go back to the footage of that game, you'll clearly see that Misbah went on the defensive after the first hour after failing to get any of the openers out. Azhar did the same when Buttler and Woakes went on the attack in the last test.

Misbah is like dietary fiber. You need enough of it but too much of it can give you constipation.

You need someone like Misbah in the setup but giving him too much power can be counterproductive.

In other words, Misbah has done damage to Pakistan team.

Yep you have to watch out for them because they are ever so deceptive. They commend Misbah because they know that his presence for Pakistan benefits India, as we witnessed in Mohali (2011) and during the 2013 CT group stage fixture.

I am flabbergasted by the comments of Misbah-ul-Haq and his defenders after his appalling start to his international coaching and international selection careers.

Let's just rewind, shall we?

1. Misbah captained an elderly and underperforming international team.

2. As soon as he retired, Mickey Arthur rejuvenated the white ball teams with young blood, and results improved massively.

3. Misbah engineered the departure of the Head Coach Mickey Arthur.

4. Misbah then applied for BOTH that job - for which he had zero experience at any level - AND the Chief Selector position, and obtained both.

5. He then replaced young players with much older ones, and obtained far poorer results than Mickey Arthur. Goodbye youngsters, hello Iftikhar, Shehzad and Akmal.

And now he tries to shirk responsibility, saying "I didn't coach right-handers to become left-handers".

I'm very sorry, but if you become the most powerful cricket supremo ever, both Head Coach and Chief Selector, the Buck Stops Here.

Misbah is 100% responsible. End of.

Are you still sticking to your guns?
 
I will never change a winning combination even if .......

It's a turning pitch...
I have a specialist spinner in the team.....
Pace bowlers didn't really fire in the last game......
England are playing 3 spinners (not something he wouldve known obviously).....

Because I am Misbah ul Haq, the greatest strategist who ever lived.

Even if pak win this game by a miracle, this is still rubbish team selection
 
I will definitely remove him as T20I coach. Not playing your best T20 bat Sharjeel is criminal. Sharjeel should have played all these T20I matches before world cup to get his form back, but Misbah has wasted all these matches by not selecting Sharjeel. :facepalm:

Rizwan and Babar opening is fixed now.

Sharjeel could only revive his T20I career by playing at 3 instead of tulla Maqsood.
 
From the starting eleven today.

How many have relatives that played cricket previously or in the heirarchy.
It will be interesting to know as with Babar, Rizwan, Shaheen and maybe
they look good in their own right but would be good to know of rest.....

Having both Sharjeel and Azam Khan on the field would be easy way of conceding 40 to 50 runs. They will be key targets for any batsmen.
 
Good and bad coaches come and go. Most of them have some sharam after a few disastrous performance, get sick of the media and quit. This leech will never let it go because all he sees is free money without any accountability. And the pcb with their colonial bootlicking mentality (even to this day) will never let him go because he speaks a few sentences of English (never mind how boring, uninspiring and uninsightful it is).

They just lap all the excuses he comes out with. “Young team”, “covid situation”, “lack of preparation”, “covid situation”, “Young team”….

I,m sure if they do studies of Misbah's brain , he would have no center for dignity, self respect of sharam, what curse on Pakistan cricket he has been.

Good and bad coaches come and go. Most of them have some sharam after a few disastrous performance, get sick of the media and quit. This leech will never let it go because all he sees is free money without any accountability. And the pcb with their colonial bootlicking mentality (even to this day) will never let him go because he speaks a few sentences of English (never mind how boring, uninspiring and uninsightful it is).

Exactly. Misbah and Waqar would never leave such a lucrative job on their own. Misbah is earning Rs 30 lacs each month for doing absolutely nothing!
 
Guy picks players on personal bias. For someone who struggled to get a spot in the team during his prime and then got to rule everything…I’m disappointed he’s actually a huge mental midget.
 
As much as I dislike Misbah as a coach, the worst thing to happen to Pakistan cricket was Bob Woolmer sadly passing away too soon!

Very sad

But I think Woolmer most likely would have moved on after that World Cup

Woolmer was keen on another term with the team under the condition YK be appointed captain and that he have the authority to pick plenty of youngsters in the team
 
Misbah’s backward ways were very much evident in this tournament. I’ll give 2 examples:

1. Iftikhar’s batting in the tournament. As one poster mentioned yesterday, he scores 1 or 2 sixes and then goes asleep for the innings in Misbah style.

2. Babar’s captaincy. It was cowardly and super defensive despite being on the verge of bringing out the opposition tail enders in after reduced them to 58/5. Unforgivable.

Misbah must never be allowed near a cricket ground in Pakistan let alone a role for the PCB.

Chalo bhai. Ghoom phir kar laat Misbah ko hi parti hay. Guys here :facepalm:
 
Unfortunately, we've still to fully undo all the damage that he caused as it was going to take time.
 
Lol what has misbah done.

Posters looking to hate someone but cant find anyone so ab misbah kay pechay par gaye ho.

Let the guy rest

This one is all on babar.

Misbah never wanted babar as captain in first place. Our ex pm forced this decision
 
Even though I don't like Misbah but that guy tries his best which is not good enough.

Compare Misbah vs Saqlain:

1. Misbah can offer test batsmen some sorts of help where Saqlain cannot even help spinners to improve performance

2. Misbah made lots of mistakes but his mistakes are unique like select wrong players in wrong format or out of form players but Saqlain will keep same players 3-4 series until selectors discard them.

3. Misbah at least try to work on strategy which is not up to the mark but Saqlain relies on dua and luck.

4. misbah can be a decent coach for local teams if works on his old mind-set and try to adopt better coaching techniques where Saqlain is a total fraud

If anything Misbah deserves all the credit for introducing all these youngster beauties on the international stage
 
Some ridiculous decisions . No way misbah was better than Mickey . Yes we lost under Mickey but attitude of team and player development was going well . Misbah came back and messed up everything . Rizwan ifti these people all follow misbah school of thought
 
Ahahahaa ppl still blaming Misbah..? He must be using kinetic powers.

Someone had said Ifti was the ultimate Misbah prototype, couldn't agree more. His legacy lives on.
