There were 10 other players playing for Pakistan. People have played worse innings than Misbahs chasing such a target but other players have contributed leading to victory. Misbah is used as a scapegoat for that match. I'm not saying it was a good innings. But just because he was the only one who was responsible enough to bat that day, he's blamed. I can say more but there's no point because you probably won't change your mind.
 
Misbah played probably one of the best innings of his ODI career today..

I would say his second best innings after that 70 odd against Newzealand in Newzealand...

Yep. It was 93* against Nz and he's played a few other good knocks chasing but this one against SA in SA is second best.

What about gul? What about kami? Younis? Umar akmal? Razzaq? These players contributed less than Misbah.

Very well said. Veterans like Afridi who threw their wickets on full tosses are not blamed but someone who genuinely tried is abused so much. One has to question the IQ of such fans.
 
Today was easily his best ODI innings.
Rotated strike well, hit the boundaries when required and apart from his dismissal, he didn't really play too many rash shots.

have posted a million times in the umar gul is rubbish thread. The rest weren't made captain were they? If you watch the match instead of looking at the cricinfo scorecard you will find out what caused akmal and razzaq to lose their wickets. :misbah_old

Of course you can't. Just like you cannot remember the blind slog of Afridi of a full toss when the RRR was only 7, a very achievable rate on Indian pitches. In the end you list the match because of lack of wickets, not because of rub-rate. Blind fans like you are the reason why Pak despite having so much talent never reached the peak. You will always praise blind sloggers and abuse genuine triers.

I watched every ball of the match live so let's stop with the cricinfo references. Great logic here, just because they aren't captain they have an excuse not to perform? Akmal and razzaq both got bowled. Neither were playing slogs so you can't use that excuse either.

One of the most stupid post ever. No other country fans think that their players are so immature that they will lose their wickets because one batsmen is playing slow.

And what did the rest of the team do? Infact, it was Hafeez's shocking shot that caused us to lose momentum after a good start.

lol@ the misbah fanboys who're getting personal. He cost us the most important match of my life so i hate him, and it kinda irritates me that other pakistanis praise him and have forgiven him so quickly. But the people jumping at me just for the sake of their love for misbah..C'MON. His tuk tuk created pressure for those at the other end, anyone who watched the match live would know that very well. I still wouldn't call anyone here blind and foolish though. Grow up kids.
 
Can't blame misbah for mohali even if we had viv richards we would have lost that match, result was decided before the match.
 
Everyone blaming Misbah, if he had gone out playing aggressively in Mohali you still would have blamed him. Face it this test series proved our batsmen are nothing but average and our batsmen are no different to the batsmen in Mohali. What's the point having Afridi, U Akmal, Razzaq batting so deeply if they can't chase a target at a run rate of 7 per over. You need partnerships to chase totals which they failed throughout that innings.

Re: Misbah Haters Report! | And Eat Some Humble Pie While You Are Here! [Merged]

Misbah and Farhat winning us a game. Is this some sort of twisted joke of fate?

:)) at venoms quote about the most important match in his life. Lol.
 
How fickle an 80 is meant to make up for the tuk tuking in ODI's. Today's knock could be taken as freak knock for him goes against his grain, surprisingly brough him a victory , see what happens when you keep on top of the run rate!!!!

More importantly though the bowlers once again turned up. Cannot hide the fact he is 39 and still hogging up the seat along with Younis Farhat and co of the young guns.

Two things concern me. Firstly, that you are unable to let go of a loss after such a long time.

Secondly, that you are unable to see the more obvious culprits for that loss. I've said it so often, Hafeez and K.Akmal are more to blame for that loss than anyone else. Threw their wickets away when well set, when one of them should have taken the responsibility to go on and make a 50+ score (like Misbah did, I hasten to add).

The person that tries and fails is criticised. The ones that don't even try are blameless. Sums up the attitude of some fans.

Poor example, You probably cannot remember the game well perhaps because of the jubilation. But Misbah had screwed the game up big time by the time Afridi came on the park. What we do remember well is Afridi did extremely well as captain to take the team to the Semis.

I think we all realise he has played slowly in the past series but give credit where it's due, he's playing really well in conditions (and against bowlers) where others are struggling.

Never discredited him as you might think, don't let the love blind you like others too. Push the emotions to the side, I know we won today chasing a score set up by the bowlers.

But whats that got to do with his lack of ability to rotate the strike, 39 and counting, 2015 World Cup, blocking youngsters his strike rate, his ability to allow the net run rate to soar despite todays innings with a freak strike rate.
 
Some excellent points by IndiaFan and Talha3, Haters gonna hate no matter what. Both games we have won Misbah has been crucial but the typical Pakistan fan will remember that 88 from Afridi and talk about that six. It was a great innings by Afridi but what was the end result? We lost.

Misbah the batsman is needed however I agree he is way too conservative in his captaincy. He should be the only 35+ batsman in the team. Jamshed and Umar Akmal should be playing instead of Younis and Malik and also Farhat isn't a solution either. Kamran and Afridi need to go too and youngsters should be played instead. Bowling is fairly settled and wouldn't change it too much except Afridi.

The format of the 2011 World Cup was such that it guaranteed the 8 established test nations a place in the QFs which is what exactly happened

And in the QFs we met the Windies (not exactly a great team any more).

Exactly if you break it down it was pretty much guaranteed we were going through and when it mattered Afridi bottled it.
 
can we for once just fricking enjoy a win, rather then talking about our personal likes and dislikes of players, I am a huge Afridi fan but I support the players who turn up on the field to represent our beautiful country, I suggest everyone else do the same...when pakistan were 33-3 alot of threads opened up regarding various players anod now they look like idiots. So Enjoy the victory

and Mubarak to everyone from my side on the win

Point is given the tournament structure, Pakistan's place in the semis was guaranteed and Afridi's captaincy had very little to do with it.
 
That being said Afridi bowled well in the tournament

Agree the format made it easy, but we still topped an incredibly tough group which resulted in an easy quarter-final. Gotta give credit where its due.

This is the best that Misbah has played in years, so credit to him for that. His strike rates in this series have been very good, particularly considering how slowly he has been playing in the recent past.

I have major issues with his team selection though, and some of the hate for Misbah is because of that (not only performances such as Mohali).
 
Most of the hate with misbah is due to team selection

Younis khan makes one 50 agaisnt India - get 6 chances and most likely will get another
Umar akmal has 2 50s in his last 4 Odis - droppe
Jamshed scored 2 tons and a 97 but gets 3 chances before being dropped
He is happy with Malik scoring the odd 20 even if he failed in each our big chases

The double standards are self evident
And now By selecting farhat a man who is known to be selfish he has put the team back further.
 
How do we know that only Misbah is picking the team? Sure he has a say and everything, however he is not the solo selector.

There is a radical difference between the t20 team and odi.

The selectors have picked young players in the squad who never play despite mediocre performances by the "seniors "

Misbah has a track record of being over eager to drop young players

So yes these are his selections
 
BAba Tuk Tuk should retire from ODI's after SA tour. He captaincy is really pathetic...... we dont need a player whose SR is in mid 60's in ODI's.... Really he is ruining our team..

It was all by accident and sticking to the thread topic Misbahs 80 with a freak strike rate was all by design!

Well at least your love for misbah is consistent!

winning captain, and best player in the team must always get his way.
i hope some of these young players are not influenced by fan feedback..which will lead them to blv that they are out of the team not because of others...but because they did not seize their chance.

Hopefully not, they'll only need to look at their stats, high averages high strike rates and age on their side, Jamshed and Umar will wonder how they did not seize their chances but Younis, Malik, Kamran, Farhat somehow have!!!!!!!!!!

No Umar Akmal, no Asad Shafiq & no Nasir Jamshed for the final ODI. Do PAK realize there is a world cup in 2 years! #SAvsPAK

Junaid has played a better innings than Hafeez, Farhat and Afridi too. This hate against the captain is unwarrented expecially since he won us two games in this series already.
 
Misbah needs to be brilliant in the field today. Has to use his bowling resources intelligently, especially Ajmal.
 
After a captaincy stint of 7 years, the haters could finally rest in peace
 
Pakistan ATG and legend. One of the best Test captains in the history of cricket. Excellent temperament and technique as a batsman. The only flaw in his batting was the lack of a 2nd gear. 1st and 3rd gear were there. As time went on, he was stubborn in leaving the team even though his batting and reflexes were on the decline. He has molded some potentially great players for Pakistan and will be sad to see him leave after such a long tenure; But he has to go, the team doesn't need him anymore. Still, he is a real hero and great role model for the young people of Pakistan.


Looks like a saint these days does Misbah.

:misbah4 :misbah3

Thank you Misbah!
