Its a fair point but one could argue that if you are fat its also quite likely that you won't tick off any of those points. Rohit Sharma being a notable exception.
Yes, his vision was this current team. This is his legacy. I hope he’s happy with his “vision”. Personally I think he should have gone to specsavers
Ignore him. That poster is a troll. Just see that name.
Agreed, Look at Malik how toxic he is. He himself played 25 years of cricket despite being mediocre and walking wicket against any half decent pacer.
Exactly I was laughing about it too. Misbahs backing and safety first, no aggression has killed the Pakistani team a lot. I rmb in 2019 WC and series before that against England under MA Pakistan was scoring 330+ regularly and not happy with their poor batting efforts. To chase against NzL in a hell wicket to bat was an awesome pieces of display by Babar Hafeez and Haris Sohail after losing the openers early. Suddenly after the WC were Misbah played his dirty politics to become Coach cum selector the team start to trundle to score past 230 and returned to his olden ways for 250 being the new 350 for them, bowlers coming to save every time. He even benched an inform Haider Ali and played his Asif Ali , Danish Aziz, Ifthikar and Khushdhil. Finally Haider Ali became a slogger to say the least. If Misbah is around he will suck all the momentum, attitude, aggression, energy from any team.
Good to point that out he lost to England C team rmb. There are players but they simply don’t get the chances they need bcoz the friendship , like and dislike culture cultivated few decades ago from the top brass to bottom. Will keep Pakistan the way they are for more years to come.
Indeed beyond toxic . Started groupings , form favourites around , after marriage he improved as person but now looks like going back to those old days.
No he never changed, I guess became more toxic. I was furious to see him in yesterday's show. If he cares so much about Pak cricket, why dont he along with other so called experts work with domestics teams? What have they done to improve Pak cricket at personal level? They are not even ready to coach U19 side, all they want to become part of national coaching staff.
It’s a type of all talk no action. To say stuff to please the masses while on TV. We all know what kind of safety approach was taken by having Kamran Akmal keep. What was happening when Imran Farhat was opening? What was Asad Shafiq doing playing LOI? Nothing made sense during the Misbah days.
Under Misbah's captaincy in white ball, we played Champions Trophy 2013 and World cup 2015. In both the tournaments we couldn't even reach Semifinal.I hope people remember 0-4 vs WI and who can forget his legendary innings in Mohali.
Based on his TV analysis one would think he's the 2nd coming of Ponting as captain! Why didn't he do anything that he suggests when he was the captain coach and selector?? That mohali innings was legendary. I mean as an Ind supporter I didn't mind at all as it helped Ind win but boy if you are a Pak supporter that was an absolute disgrace. Scoring runs and hitting 6s after the match is done and dusted was pathetic.
@Markhor had a fantastic posted earlier in the thread where he pointed out how the 2017-2018 was the fittest pakistani team with the best catching percentage in the world.
Misbah was caught unnecessarily criticizng Shaheen as well once, and saying he was been blooded too early. And he was exposed back then as well.
I’m very glad you pointed out the Indian viewpoint. I’ve been saying for ages that the Misbah way would have been appreciated highly by the opposition.
Yup, that was his propaganda piece. Unfortunately, a lot of our “fans” fell for this hook, line and sinker.
0-4 vs WI , when did that happen lol.. i thought he was whitewashed by England 4-0 when he had Afridi lala, Ajmal, Abdur Rehman and Hafeez in UAE turners... when this man has to talk about white ball cricket OMG is just baffling...
Yes that England 4-0 series i rmb he played Imran Farhat, Azhar Ali, Asad Shafiq and Younis Khan in the top 4 along with Hafeez as the opener... He rotated these 4 and when he lost 3-0 in the final match he promoted Umar Akmal and Shoaib Malik ahead of him and also he was desperate to save his face against the whitewash he played 1 seamer in Junaid Khan and 4 spinners (Ajmal, Rehman, Afridi and Hafeez) yet cant post a score of 250+, KP sealed it with a big century 130
Exactly , i was one of those who believed and then later realised that it was full of lies and not being able to compete or adapt to the evolving game... He was one of those who was so stubborn for a change and also at sometimes i thought this man has a grudge against Pakistan and PCB for starting his career late in his 30s.....
Bhai mere it is not about series result, this is Pakistan's score vs WI in WC 2015. 0-4 yes you read it right.
Could be quite few factors
yes always an embarrassment under him... he will never let any youngster to prosper unless they are 30+ years old to debut... He made an in-form Haider ali to warm the bench an entire tour of England then giving him the last T20 , he took Abdullah Shafique as backup opener and then made Rizwan open the inns in the T20... If he is away from the team and PCB setup, the team kinda do well and win matches when he is around in some capacity they fail like pack of cards.
Not true thier has been many other players who have been cramping.
