He played consistently well through out all of our WC games - finished wicketless in the SF but let's not pretend like a catch wasn't dropped off his bowling.

Misbah did not have nearly as spectacular a WC for anyone to view him the same way.

He's done well as Test captain and as a batsmen in series, which he gets credits for. If Misbah was topping the batting charts in the WC as Afridi did the bowling ones, I honestly wouldn't be as harsh on him for his innings as I have been.

Well wasnt he blamed for the T20 WC finals as well? And my reply was meant for all those who said he would never be forgiven for his semi final innings
 
T20 Final is debatable since he took the team that far as a consistent performer in the WC, then had a big performance in the final. It is proof he's a bottler and can't handle pressure though, we were in a winning position that game.

I won't forgive him for the SF innings ever, but that doesn't mean it'll take away from any future innings.
 
Misbah's stats since his come back in the team.
He played 13 innings in odis and have scored 629 runs with a staggering average of 78.62, this also includes 7 fifties.

Since his comeback he has failed only once in seven test innings and has scored 451 runs with a legendry average of 112.75,which also includes 6 fifties.
Now this is absolutely fantastic record and if he continues he might end up icc player of the year or atleast in icc team of the year.



Only in Pakistan a player like him is not appreciated.
 
A timely bump is needed. This guy is our best test bat by a country mile. Averaging about 90 since he took over as test captain and has hit more fifties in the last year than Afridi has probably hit in the last 5.
 
Well played today, he's been doing well as cuptaan.

But today even my grandmother could've cracked a ton the way the Windies were bowling.
 
In tests he has hit 8 50s in 11 innings. None of those innings in India/Pakistan/Srilanka or where scores have been consistent 400, 500 e.t.c.
 
A very good innings by Misbah, a real captain's knock.

:moyo remains the best batsman in Pak atm.

Not everyone was hitting 50s and NZ second test was pressure knock, but fair comment on pitches.

Yawn. You can't even give credit where it is due. Even though I can't stand Afridi I will give him his due for his bowling and fielding even though his captaincy and batting are below par. I don't see anybody else anywhere near the form Misbah is in.

He's still got that unnerving ability to just pack up all shots and go tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk for five or so overs. But he's getting runs and anybody who knows Test cricket knows he's playing superbly at the mo'.

if you comparing afridi batting to misbah batting then compare misbah bowling to afridi bowling as.well.

and yes misbah captaincy has been fantastic especially this series.

But on the seriouses he's batting quite well as Test captain and I'm very happy to see it. Let's hope he gets that maiden ton as captain today and this is indeed a match winning knock.

Should not be ODI captain though.
 
Any thread on Misbah ul Haq should be avoided. No need to waste any time on him.
 
Im not a misbah hater but i still cant forget mohali

the way he's batting right now, he could've done the same in Mohali :facepalm:

I'm not saying that was the right thing to do but the reason he didn't play like he is now is because he can afford to lose his wicket whilst at that time he needed to stay there.

All he needed was one batsman to stay there with him.

This.
 
I think you guys are forgetting the absolute king of Tuk at Mohali. It was a bad innings, very bad in fact but he's trying to redeem himself so we shouldn't bring it up all the time.
 
Well done, Misbah. Certainly the best batsmen in the team at the moment - ahead of Younis and all the "youngsters". Still would like to see him bat this way in England and SA before concluding much.
 
Don't think that will happen, our next encounter with England will be in the UAE and we play SA once every five years.
 
Cannot argue with performance.

Go on and on, Skipper! :misbah

lol you're pathetic :yk
 
Should've declared an hour ago, pathetic selfish business from Misbah as usual.






Hating.
 
Whether its ODIs or Tests, he has been very consistent

Haters, time to dig yourself a hole
 
24 more Test tons and maybe we can discuss if he's made up for Mohali. Still hating.

^^^ Mohali hurt will remain. That's near inerasable.

But the point is he did not single handedly lose us that game, so why only remember Misbah for Mohali.

Remember Younis, Afridi, Razzaq, Hafeez, and all others who did something stupid that hurt the side
 
Oh sallu, don't open up the can of worms. Misbah had 7 overs f dot balls. 7 overs. Hafeez bowled well and almost scored a fifty, Misbah dropped catches and batted slowly. He wasn't the sole perpetrator but he was the biggest.

of course, what if misbah got 13 off 20, (faster than younis 13 off 31) and then got out. he wouldn't be the sole perpetrator then but we would still lose even more embarrassingly.
 
Once in a blue moon if he succeeds, this guy summons all the opposition. Does he know why their is so much oposition for this Tuk Tuk, because he succeeds once in a blue moon, but fails when it matters most, he is not the one of Pakistani tradition, where likes of Miandad and Inzi and others delivered when it mattered most, so stop posting ridiculous subpeonas when your favorite batsman scores after a millenium or does something that is worth raising an eyebrow to,
 
Mohali is over.

Either keep cursing the bad past or set the foundation for strong future its your choice.

I would honestly rather die trying then lose meekly. We aren't Bengali, we don't need to bat out 50 overs just for fun :P.

But I'm just teasing with my previous posts, I won't let his ODI failures get in the way of his Test exploits. Man is on a run of 1 ton, 7 fifties in 6 Tests. No hate.

Yes, all had a poor day. However, Misbah takes the majority of the blame due to his illogical, mystified innings that played a key role in the loss and he dropped Sachin first. He was the main culprit that day.

Fair enough :)

tbh i hate talking about mohali anyway
 
I'm here and I still hate him for Mohali. And that T20 world cup final.

Whatever he can play tests.
 
LOL at the Mohali references. The T20 crowd is in. Or so seems to be their attention span when watching test cricket. Lets see.

Misbah is an FTB --> Guys scores a 50 on that pitch
Misbah is just a test tuk tuk'er --> Guy scores a ton at a 70+ strike rate
Now, Misbah is the evil behind Mohali, Kashmir, and what not ... :facepalm:

We lost in Mohali because of Younis, K Akmal, Razzaq, several others, and THEN Misbah - in this exact frigging order. More importantly, time to get out of your dream worlds and realize Mohali is history. Today, Greece is about to default, China's PMI numbers are looking scary, and we are on the verge of levelling the WI test series.

Didn't Hafeez play an equally mystified shot?
Didn't Younis play an equally mystifying innings and his dismissal?
Didn't Afridi hit a full toss straight up in the air?
What about Kamran Akmal?
What about Umar Gul's shocking spell?

Yes, Misbah played dot balls, which he shouldn't have. But wickets for falling from the other end as well. He could and should have played better, but he was trying to stretch the game till the end rather than going all out.
At the end of the day, we lost the game because we ran out of wickets, and we could have chased what we needed in the last 8-10 overs easily if we had wickets in hand.

Also, I find it hard to understand how people blame Misbah for the other batsmen's dismissals.
Hafeez, Kamran and Asad were out before Misbah came in.
Younis got out because he built pressure on himself.
Umar Akmal and Razzaq got out defending the ball, not because they went for big hits under pressure.
And Afridi hit a full toss straight up.

Its shocking how much unfair criticism Misbah has had to deal with because of Mohali.

If there is a biggest "match ka mujrim" it is Umar Gul, and even he doesn't deserve the majority of the blame
 
I would say Hafeez or YK were bigger mujrims.

but forget Mohali, its done and dusted! like someone has already said, people need to get over it.
 
7 half centuries and a century in the space of 6 Test Matches since takes over the reins of captaincy. Don Bradman would be proud of this. The fact that this is a player who is still getting mocked & criticised amongst his followers can only be because of overwhelming double standards & individual favouritism with the idea of him replacing Afridi as captain in ODIs. I mean people are still questioning his place in the team & criticising his batting style which I cannot understand for the slightest. The results are in front of you & they are remarkable in any case, but especially for a side who has been continuously changing captains and been fading away in Tests not so long ago.

i think the main thing missing from misbah captaincy is that killer insinct, sometime he is too defensive but one can understand as he is new to the job, hopefuly after few more series he will overcome this weakness.

in odis he has to retire, you cant get much by investing in a 37 years old. also he bat nymber 5, which doesnt suit his batting. he isnt a good rotater of strike,even younis is way better than him in rotating strike.
so for me he should stick with tests, retire from odis to extend his test career.

Fantastic Posts! Sadly most Pakistan fans are looking for a scapegoat to blame for the World cup loss, rather then the obvious collective failure!

Excellent post! Even Gul I don't blame so much because Sehwag can do that to the best of bowlers. If anyone deserves criticism it's the fielders for dropping catches, and Hafeez and Kamran Akmal for throwing their wickets away when well set.

Some very good points made. Some of the children here won't understand it. They don't see the whole picture and instead they pick one player they hate and spread the hatred in every single thread and the jokers I am referring to are well aware of this.

Correct. I get all the haters are kids, probably under the age of 21 who are so tied up with what happened at mohali and thier continious blaming of Misbha, that they cannot even enjoy any of the matches where he does well of which there have been pleanty. Their loss i guess...
