Barring the first couple of lines, thanks for the civil reply. A largely (rare) well constructed analysis on the root problem - his lack of first class cricket and fast tracking to the senior team. Extrapolating from this, it might be fair to also build on your same argument and say there was a categorical issue with the selection process - would it be fair, then, to rebut an argument you have sometimes made about how Misbah is not the problem, or how if Abdullah was not selected, fans would be blaming Misbah and asking for him to be included, but now that he is included, we’re asking for someone else?
Essentially, your classic argument is to pinpoint blame back on fans for being delusional. We’re delusional for asking for Misbah to be sacked as Chief Selector for example. But extrapolating on the same argument you just made, which I agree with, you are indirectly helping conclude that fans are not delusional for saying that Misbah has made some terrible mistakes as selector and that proper selection might have allowed a better result (whether marginally better or much better, that we cannot say, but we can say that the process was wrong).
This is a guy who has all the shots, has a lot of time to play the ball, and knows how to build an innings at the grade level, particularly in three day and four day games. Why the heck has he been hyped and thrown straight into international T20 cricket?
) WTH.
