So he should have been super-subbed in 1st test when his 80 runs pretty much gave us a match winning lead.

Please do give me a list of all the brilliant replacements you have to bring in then?

Any youngster like Usman Sallahuddin, Umar Akmal who believes in taking the attack to the opposition. I personally do not like Misbah's batting in ODI's and T-20 especially in crunch games, situations, his phattu pan gets the better of him.

Perhaps he is an Indian in disguise as the only way we can get worse now is to get rid of Misbah. You know like those sleeper agents who pretend to belong to a particular nation and are activated as soon as his/her owner's need to bring down their enemies. It seems like the only logically explanation!

What they dnt understand is in future series against the likes of Saffers, Australia and away to England, this measley 2rpo will be the main damage factor then I wanna see what these ppl say, thats all am waiting for coz not all the time will we restrict stronger teams at under 200, there will be a time where we will be faced with a 1st innings deficit of 400,500, 600, I wanna see what Misbah and the team do then!!!

You're right, we're incredibly lucky we managed to take England's wickets during this series, because they were flying at 5-6 RPO throughout.

You aint alone, am with you on everything you said about Misbah's approach in batting, good captain yes! But he does not know how to approach a situation or how to bat on the required situation!

I have said it time and time again and yes many will disagree and start with go watch T20, go watch the Afridi's and the Umar Akmals etc...

My point exactly to all those basking and drunken enjoyment of the current victory. We won primarily due to our spinners, the same spinners were ineffective against South Africa in 2010. England just didnt prepare sufficiently and underestimated the spin threat big time.

Besides England's main goal is always Australia specific, the motivation levels of the squad is just not the same when they face other teams.

Different argument though. His approach just helped us whitewash the worlds no1 team, in the toughest form of the game, the form of the game that matters MOST.

Why is that so hard to accept?
 
I suggest you listen to the press conference today to make sense of the RR issue. Savak, you are just sounding like an England whinging fan, no offense. Stop listening to Andy Flower.

as far as i remember , in our most past austalian/english/south african tours we never lost due to slow scoring rate but batting collapses. in other words we can avoid defeats if we stay on wicket. to me it make more sense than go and play great strokes and lose in the end.

lets take australian tours from past,

1971 - our team has great sroke makers saeed ahmad, majid khan, zaheer abbas, asif iqbal, mushtaq mohammad and we were whitewashed in australia. ian chappell said in the end, pakistan lacks habit of winning.

1977 - we had majid, asif, zaheer, plus youngsters like miandad, haroon, raja, imran. we barely save first test due to assif iqbal epic 152N having last wkt partnership of 96 with iqbal qasim. lost 2nd test badly due to usual batting collapse. win 3rd test due to imran 12 wkts and asif iqbal 120. series 1-1.

1979 - we more or less have same nucleus of team while australia severely depleted due to kerry packer defections. won 1st test due to sarfraz nawaz amazing 7-1 spell. lost 2nd test badly again due to batting collapse.

i can go on and on and on.

Savak,

So your using winning series in England, Australia and South Africa as bench marks for great captaincy? So basically we have no great captains then as pakistan have never won series in Aus or S.A so why single Misbah out? In regards to winning in england thats been done a few times.

Also you keep harping on about run rates? So pakistan are scoring to slow? Yet are winning tests. Please remind me of all the fast scoring SL and England have done in these conditions.

Lets getting things straight this pakistan team isnt great and it has flaws.

Lack of an attacking batsmen in top 6

Needs a top keeper batsmen

Long tail

We struggle knocking over oppostions tails.

even with these issues weve beaten Sri lanka and england.

Yeah real test come away from home but you can only beat whats put infront of you. Weve just hammered an england team unbeaten in 8 tests series and your making out as if its nothing and weve just beaten zimbabwe.

Seriously not to get personal but are you really this stupid?

They Play slow on these wickets because of how the pitch is. And Inshallah in the future this team wont allow them to make over 500 to 600. You guys just need to appreciate the players and the team for once. Stop going for negatives.

Mate your talking about games from before I was born!!!

End of the day, if you look at this performance, it shows the only person who had a backbone in this innings was Younis Khan and Azhar Ali!

Younis Khan batted at a Sr of 57 in the same conditions, on the same pitch as Misbah!

This same Misbah who eats up over 100 deliveries for a mere 20-30 runs!!!

Why did he not bat with the required situation, game was safe 250+ run lead take the game away. Explain to me 31 runs with 1 boundary in over 110+ balls?

Yes we won brilliant but do you think this mere 2-2.5 rpo will help us win against tougher opposition away form the UAE?

Do you think this tuk tuk defensive approach will work against the likes of Saffers and Australia and England at home?

No don't get me wrong I am all praises for the series win and the white-wash but I won't ignore the fact that there are still alot of improvements to be made.

Just coz I criticise and post comments about SR, Run Rates, Approach to an innings and a situation does not entirely mean I aint happy, am delighted and over the moon BUT where I feel the need to post anything I will bcoz thats my opinion.

I dnt care about cheap attacks and responses like go watch T20, you dnt know what Test Cricket is all bout and etc...

If I feel the need to say something I will and will not be holding back.

I am not the biggest fan of Misbah bcoz for me PAKISTAN comes first before all the Misbah's the Younis Khans and the Afridi's!!

I want to see Pakistan come up top and that can only happen if we improve on the weaker links ie, batting, scoring, rotating, taking the game away, attacking etc...!!

Then why don't you go couch Pakistan to make this happen? I mean seriously these boys will improve inshallah. I don't see them scoring this way in other conditions. We do lack a serious attacking batsmen but that batsmen needs to make the team first. My advice to you is be patient.

There are reasons for a sides defeat. If you replace Ajmal with another offspinner, England could have had an easier task. The fact that England had to deal with 2 quality spinners made their task even tougher.

I believe this England team will gain a lot from this tour and be even better prepared for India and Sri Lanka.

These issues remain but our slow uninspirational batting will allow other hungry oppositions an opening which they should never have in the first place. At 331/3 we were perfectly placed to accelerate and set a target of 450 but the players resorted to mind boggling tuk tuk.

As far as England is concerned, these guys arent used to these conditions, we are and we should have done a better job with the bat.

Couldn't you argue that at 331/3, we were doing just fine, but then we tried to do something different to up the tempo, and ended up collapsing?

Fact is, all fans will have differing opinions as to what works for the team. What the team is currently doing is helping us win. Changing that approach might result in losses.

What would you prefer?
 
why most of peoples are always over misbah on some v.stupid reasons ?

* Except misbah , you would prefer malik or other morons to lead team and again our team facing monopoly ?

* Why you always blame Misbah for mohali ?? what your fav. batsmans like afridi & razaq did on that day ??

* Wow misbah is still responsible for T20 final against india 2007 ?? we would have lost that match by 40+ runs , it was misbah who guided the match v.close...

When our team is doing all fine and united under Misbah captaincy from many months .... why he's still under such criticizm ?

Grow up you Misbah haters...:zaka

although it didn't change facts, whether that happens before your birth or not but lets move to comparatively recent matches and when we were having top players of world.

how about pakistan's tour of 1999/2000

1st test
1st Inning : Saeed Anwar 61 (SR 61.61), Inzimam 88 (44.22), Youhana 95 (54.59), Moin Khan 61 (89.70)
2nd Inning : Saeed Anwar 119 (68.39), Youhana 75 (64.10)
Result: Australia won by 10 wkts

2nd test
1st Inning : Mohammad Wasim 91 (SR 74.59)
2nd Inning : Saeed Anwar 78 (50.00), Inzimam 118 (61.78), Ijaz Ahmad 88 (66.12)
Result: Australia won by 4 wkts

3rd test
1st Inning : Azhar Mahmood 39 (SR 60.00)
2nd Inning : Ijaz Ahmad 115 (71.87), Wasim Akram 52 (130.00)
Result: Australia won by inning and 20 runs

Keep in mind our bowling side was Wasim Akram, Waqar Younus, Shoaib Akhtar, Saqlain Mushtaq, Mushtaq Ahmed, Abdul Razzaq, Azhar Mahmood. What more you can ask for.

In this series strike rate of our leading batsmen Saeed Anwar 47.00, Inzimam 49.42, Ijaz Ahmed 62.95, Youhana 54.47, Mohammad Wasim 54.66, Wasim AKram 58.77, Moin Khan 51.67, Azhar Mahmood 42.61.
Yet we lost series 3-0. A Whitewash.

Lesson learn Strike Rate is not that important in Test Cricket.

it may happen that hungry opposition will take advantage of that or it may not happen, who knows. but whats happening at this moment that we are winning against top teams. we beat two teams ranked above us (England, Sri Lanka) and drew with another (South Africa).
And talking bigger picture which is this team is playing like a Team and enjoying the success. They may lose few too in future, nobody claims they are invincible but thats part of the game. As long as we have steady progress and no scandals, I am not complaining.

and thats the point. why we want to play there game. isnt it better try to make them play our game. we may survive and atleast drew instead of getting whitewashed which we did in this series and next two after that. like in soccer how italians or spanish try to play against brazil or argentina. it may not pretty but can be effective. atleast no harm in trying, we know other way is not working anyway.
 
When Misbah took over pakistan captaincy with the mess the team was in all i wanted was for the team to be competative. Will pakistan ever be ranked number 1? I dont think we realistically ever will, Our aim as ive mentioned before should be to be a top four ranked test side so we can compete in Test championships. Our team isnt full of superstars and we are playing well as a unit. Yeah we have issues with the batting, keeping and long tail and those can be resolved. Misbah even said himself after the game next series is a fresh start and we need to show we can win outside of Asia, hes fully aware we need to test ourselves in all conditions.

One thing is obvious with this team it is competative yeah and we may lose at some point id much rather have a team which is competative and gives the oppostion a game then the pretty poor showings we had to put with before hand.

Misbah aint going to resolve all pakistans issues and maybe no captain will, but lets just remember the fact weve been playing good solid cricket for 12-15 months and we are improving, if thats not enough to keep a fan happy god knows what is!
 
Well said.

Batting needs to be worked on, and fast bowling department needs to be looked at (as per Misbah in presentation ceremony), apart from what Amjid already mentioned.
 
Why are ppers mixing a team victory with individual performances?

Misbah and Azhar need to rotate the strike better, period.
 
This is Very Good you make it, "Say sorry to Misbah Haters"

You also need to make it "Say thanks to Misbah Lovers"
In fact I was the 1st and only one who start the campaign in favor of Misbah in 2007.
Search the threads under my user Id. you will get many.
 
Good batsmen, Great captain. Should lead us in the T20 WC.
 
Re: Misbah Haters Report! | And Eat Some Humble Pie While You Are Here! [Merged]

Just for @marshland. ...

Misbah has made people eat humble pie quite regularly
 
Voted Misbah as my man but didn't expect him to score a 50 in our 1st match. Besides I haven't tried Apple pie for sometime
 
I still hate Misbah for his decision to stay in our ODI team.

and it was infuriating to see him try to slog peterson for a maximum when what was actually needed was his tuk tuk.

It's like he cannot differentiate between ODI and test.

Anyway the sooner he leaves our odi team the better but he is required in tests.
 
I don't mind his Tuk Tuk innings especially in todays circumstances . May it continue for another two days. InshaAllah.

I'm sure you have seen Misbah bat against spinners before. Today was not the first time he has done this and it won't be the last. Misbah has done this on numerous occasions against and I can't recall him ever getting out from it. It is really a calculated risk taken after assessing the spinner, the field and the line and lengths bowled. He doesn't come down the track so he has time to adjust if the ball isn't in his arc (unlike Shafiq's which looked a lot riskier). The result is not only a boundary, but to unsettle the bowler and make him think twice about bowling a standard line and length.
 
never questioned him in test matches, he can play in test matches until he turns 50 for all I care as long as hes performing

One day is a totally different issue
 
Deja vu.

You just need to wait till their own illogic overwhelms them.:)
 
I don't think any sane person would hate our legendary kuptan Tuk Tuk , only problem is he is making all the top order a stroke less wonder, even when YK used to go for singles & two's with moyo and inzi now due to the Tik tuk highness has taken every one in a shell!
As for today the pitch has gone to being a three day pitch so to tomorrow when the new ball comes in we wait and see how our Legendary Tuk Tuk does.
By the way it is wonderful stand with Asad Shafiq,over all this the first time he is captaining out side against the top 3 and away good luck tuk tuk.
One thing for sure he is no ODI OR T20 player at all, he deserved all the criticism due to his batting on those occasion no sympathy there!

I think people are missing the point
People hating on him.. are saying keep him out of the ODI side
which i agree with 100%
dont need his tuk tuk mentality in ODIs
but in tests.. hes a good player
 
What is the with the chest beating here? As far as I know the guy has scored 44 runs...when he makes a 100, then we can talk.
 
Never doubted Misbah's potential but saddening to see he reached it about 5 years too late. He can still do a lot to groom the next generation of new batsmen.
 
Such have our standards fallen that people are going gaga over just a half century.

He should have gone for a hundred, I can buy the excuse of him still having 0 hundreds in ODIs because he bats late but just 3 hundreds in tests and just 1 in the last 6 years is a very poor return.

But that is what he is good for, a smart little fifty, stabilizes the innings for couple of sessions and then throw his wicket away.

A very limited batsman. I don't think anyone has to eat a humble pie.

What a legend this guy is. Cool as a cucumbar and yet striking the ball like a beast :viv

This should assure his place for at least 20 more ODI's.
 
problem is this sort of innings only comes once every 20 matches for Pakistan and Misbah

Should I bring up the number of times Pakistan collpased and lost games while chaisng low targets before Misbah came in?
 
My take on this:
As an opposition :If I am defending score>200 , Misbah is a definite threat.
BUT..If I am defending a score of OVER or around 250, I will want Misbah on the crease all time.
This remarkable ability to do tuk tuk no matter WHAT THE TARGET IS whether batting first or second has more NEGATIVES than positives. How many matches do we see scores below or around 200 now???? Scores in that Indo-Pak series in Dec was a one off , we don't see odis in Christmas season in India.

Just a humble opinion.

He gets a 50 every 6ish innings.

Could not careless about a fifty every 6th innings. How often has he taken pak home chasing?

There are plenty of pointless fifties around with a strike rate of 60ish which I would not watch for free.

Should I bring up the number of times Pakistan collpased and lost games while chaisng low targets before Misbah came in?

I'm sure you'll also kindly bring up stats where he tuk tuked an innnings, ate up the power plays allowed the run rate to rocket sky high and then did one.
 
The bowlers bailed us out last game.

Today the batsmen need to whats more, hundreds are needed. Will Captain Marvel hit his first? been a long time in the wait
 
Has batted very well in SA ODI's which is good to see.

Has captained like a fool though. Silly decisions in the field, silly bowling changes & stupid team selections.

Batted nicely today. Cashed in on the part-timers well.
 
The man always stands up when we're in a bind, the guy's an entirely different player when we're chasing and the target is less than 250.
 
not his batting thats the issue

if he didnt have such biased and retarded team selection id love him in the team
 
I think the only time Misbah will get his century is when people stop bumping this thread everytime he gets a 50.

Misbah played well, but , should have stayed till the end, like in Mohali to switch off the lights

Very very good innings. Another bad day for Misbah haters.
