Like it or not he has been our best batsman in ALL formats for the last 6 months by a country mile. In that time he averaged near enough 55.

Misbah got alot of unnecessary slack but I had no problem with his innings in the semi-final, he was the lone warrior and I couldn't have asked more from him.

People need to realise a class batsman and show some respect to only finisher we have in our team.

Im gona go as far as saying, Barring India he could make to any country's playing 11 especially in limited over cricket.

you're probably one of the racist fan i've seen here. You always support Punjab based players. If it was Fawad Alam who would have done that, you would have been calling each and every PPer, sending him a personal msg to kick fawad alam out. I remember you used to make fun of fawad alam's name until Mods came in and stopped you.

I've never ever seen you support any player who's not from Punjab. Misbah played a crap innings in Semis and yet you're still supporting him.
 
yup agreed. i am so happy he proved me wrong as i thought in the year 2009 he was finished. yet his fitness and determination has won my heart.
no doubt he is very good in one day as his stats shows and in test his tuk tuk is as vital.
God bless him.

i am still very upset from that inning!
 
What a dumb thread. Like I said in WLFC's thread I don't mind his inclusion but the dumbass has cost us two high pressure games against India.

He's not a match winner and never will be. Actually a bit of a selfish player at times.

Umar Gull played a crap iinnings, no one said anything to him.
 
Easily the worst thing to have ever happened to Pakistan Cricket. I so regret his flukish run of form for a couple of months in 2007. We would not have had to put up with his phattu tuk tuk tuk tuk.
 
WLFC, that's a disgraceful post. If what you said about him true then your nothing better as your also viewing players by regeion.
 
WLFC has a point. The rest of you guys can pretend no one on PP has any regional bias, but I can certainly see it as well as he can.

Though, OP might just be a retard. Not sure in this case.

Watch Miandad's innings, which i think was from 1996
 
A lot of people in our country, in our society, around us take advantage of the fact that people have short term memories, the fact that people just blindly forgive and do not hold the things they did against them in the long run. Misbah is no exception and deserves no sympathy and forgiveness.

Why is the OP a retard, for giving out an opinion, from which he doesn't agree with you.

If you dont like the thread then don't open it ................
 
'Buh buh he dunt hit dose big sixerzzz lulz'

As for the innings vs India.He came in a tough situation where our top order batsmen threw away their wickets in a hostile Mohali environment.

Not to mention it was a World Cup semi-final,with hype from both countries' respective masala media and of course the politicians loading unnecessary pressure with their 'talks about talks' and bilateral relations etc.

As typical of some Pakistan fans and the masala media,we all love a scapegoat,someone to blame.That someone seems to be Misbah-ul-Haq.

Anyway,sure,he had a big dip in form during 2007-2009 but since then he has gone back to domestic cricket and has proved himself.He has rightly fought for his place in the side.

Since making his comeback,Misbah has played 4 Test matches (in the last 12 months) and averages 112.75 in 7 innings.

This is against South Africa and New Zealand so it is not an 'inflated' average batting against minnows.

OK,the UAE wickets may not be the trickiest to bat on but the South Africa bowling lineup more than compensates for that.

The New Zealand pitches were seaming and Pakistan did struggle in some matches against the NZ fast bowlers,notably Tim Southee and Hamish Bennett.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/new-zeal...ch/473923.html

http://www.espncricinfo.com/new-zeal...ch/473928.html

As for ODIs.

Since his comeback,he averages 48.20 for 12 innings.

A match or should I say,a series winning knock vs New Zealand.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/473926.html

And a vital 83* vs a strong Sri Lankan side,on their home turf in Colombo in the World Cup.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/433567.html

We do not have a Viv Richards waiting in the wings.There will be no 'revolution' of youngsters if they are not properly groomed with the help of the more experienced players in the side,who can pass on advice and guide the youngsters.Then when the youngsters are ready,we can gradually ease the older players out in a transitional phase.

Pakistan cannot afford another knee-jerk,post-World Cup cull that we always initiate after a World Cup or a series defeat.

We tried to pack the team with youngsters such as Umar Amin in the England 2010 tour and that was a disastrous move,with Amin now sidelined for the foreseeable future.

It is about time Pakistan do things 'properly'.Let's have a transitional phase for now,keep the seniors on and have a firm,long-term plan in place for the next World Cup in 2015.

It is so typical of Pakistan to hit the nuclear button and to load so much pressure and hype onto our youngsters.The international circuit is much tougher and strenuous and requires players to use a great deal of skill and exertion to cope.

You can get away with shoddy techniques and a few lucky breaks here and there in domestic cricket.And the fans will start calling for that player to be brought in ASAP as he's the next Brian Lara etc etc.

But international cricket requires a blend of youth and experience.

Why do we go for one extreme to another ?

'No we must have seniors'. 'No,pack the team with youngsters'.

Just have both and use them wisely,long-term planning is not rocket science.

Thats a laughable assertion, the only real 'hate' against Punjab was when Pakistan almost/did field an all Punjabi XI. Which was stupid.

There's a disproportional amount of hate against Karachi based players, threads on their non selection are always lambasted as 'crying' or playing the victim card when usually theres a strong case for discussion.

Whatever though, I'm not going too deep into this lest I also be playing the "victim card".

You may not like his innings, but i'm gussing you still lioked him as a player, as for all his contribution to Pakistan cricket.


The thing is Javaid could had retire at that time as he was not needed, and the team was quiet strong, but today we need Misbah as our team is not that strong, our batting is so weak, and Misbah is still needed. Sure Misbah did bad in the final, but lets not forget his Sri Lanka innings.
 
Then you need to go through the forums. You'll find idiots on the other side as well.

No. Nobody cares about Pakistan. It's all about my "home city". It really doesn't come as a surprise as to why Pakistan is in it's current state.
 
Yes he has been consistent and scores regularly. He has scored big aswell and bailed us out of trouble in limited overs and tests aswell. However sometimes he does play quite slow and wastes alot of balls. And he did not perform when it mattered i.e. the semi final.

But still I believe he still should be in the playing XI, as he is experienced and can offer his advise to the younger batsmen and also guide them. As he is the only proper batsman left in the team.Also he can hit big shots aswell, when the need arises.

We shouldnt judge or make decisions based on one match, as many are doing here. Instead we should look at the wider picture, and let him play untill he retires- which is likely to be in a year or so.

Agree with you 100%.

This is exactly what i'm trying to say.

But sometimes we fans forget about the goods and always look at the bads
 
Wow, you Pakistani's just don't get it. Misbah is the best thing to happen to your batting side recently. He provides the one thing, and probably the most important thing that you lack, consistency in batting. I know you guys are obsessed with smashers and sloggers like Afridi and Razzaq, but you cannot build a strong batting side around them. They are good complements, but they can never be the center piece. Misbah isn't the greatest batsmen in the world, but he's the best you've got. Don't waste him too.

needless...failed it when it mattered the most, had a major brain freeze yet seems to be able to rotate strike easily today...meh
 
There are a lot. I am still laughing to those PPers who were saying Mustafa Kamal's batting is better than Misbah.

He didnt do his job when it was most needed.

Equating a 50 against Windies with one sucking innings he played against India which cost us the game cant be compared. You can't compare apples with oranges.

THIS.

If you're the best batsman of the side, at least he should have taken singles against India instead of blocking balls and creating pressure for the batsman on the other end.

You can't compare 2011 Semi Final loss (probably of higher magnitude as compared to 1996 Quarter Final) with any other random game and random opposition.

I think there is a team member who has to continuously check Misbah's pulse to see if he is alive and well or not.

But today he proved on the pitch that he is alive and well. :p
 
As far as haters go. I still don't want him in the team, but maybe we need him at the moment till Asad and Umar grow into the role of anchoring the innings.

I still don't want him in LoI sides.
 
Haters will hate, end of story. They will always think misbah lost us the semifinal. I personally think his contribution in the loss was not more than 10%. At the end of the day, only one batsman out of Shafiq, Umar, Hafeez, who were all IN, needed to stay with him and the game was ours. Anyway, that's a different debate.

The fact is, he's a world class batsman.
 
Todays innings just goes to show how pathetic he was in the semi. Couldnt care less about the tool personally. Wouldn't mind it one bit to see the back of him, well done on making some runs for my team though.
 
I wouldn't say i'm a hater but I was very angry at him for the way he played against India. Showed no intent to score and I was up for dropping him from the side. However as YK was dropped Misbah had to step up and control the middle order and he did that quite well today. As soon as a player is named in the 11 I will support him wholeheartedly. Misbah played very well today and hope it continues.
 
He played a good innings and he's a good batsmen with solid technique but after 1 decent innings hes by no means an ideal one day player.
In tests yes he is a perfect batsmen for us, and arguably our best in the last year
In one day IF HE PLAYS LIKE TODAY then yes hes good for ODI's as well
but fact is he doesn't always play like today.
He usually has 2 modes of Tuk or 6 theres hardly ever rotating the strike in his game.
As far as his innings in the semi goes there is no excuse for that, it was the worst inning I've ever seen in the final stages of a WC
He hung around but he wasn't making any runs and putting all the pressure in the world on the other batsmen.

I hate him. And I still stand by it. He doesn't deliver when it matters the most. Deserved the criticism for his nonsense innings in the SF. And it was not the first time he did that.

Do you really think so ??
ok lets analyze. When Misbah came to creze pakistan needed 158 run from 26 ours. Misbah played with strike rate of 50 till 41st over.
lets say another batsman was yk and suppose he also didnt get ourt and played with same rate.
so by the end of 41th over pakistan would need 107 run from 9 over with 7 wicket in hand?

You think team will win in this situation on that pitch????

I am sorry I was worng
Misbah played with sr of 50 till 43rd over not 41st

so I gave you another batsman like him on another end and you will be left to chase 101 run in 7 over.

tell me how many time it has been done?

What did Misbah do in this game that Shafiq & Hafeez didnt?
In particular Hafeez.
Hafeez bowled brilliantly, after WI got off to a brilliant start it wiss him that got us the vital wicket of Smith who was going along nicely and then he got us off to the perfect start.

Mat im not a misbah Hater i think until or unless he plays like he did today hes not suited for ODI's however for test hes a perfect batsmen and probly t he best we have.

But you gotta admit here your just blindly supporting misbah a bit
 
against a second string windies attacking while chasing a low total.

HE FAILED WHEN IT MATTERED MOST!

He failed on the biggest stage... and you are acting like all the misbah haters are wrong! which is utterly pathetic.

What if next match he gets out on 0? What will be your response??
 
^^ TalhaSyed fair point. You know me very well and experienced forummers who have been here for a while. I've never supported player based on regional affiliation. Credit due where it's. Misbah and Younis were favorite players but not anymore. You cant compare a measly 50 with what he did against India in once in a lifetime game.
