Misbah/Younis in 2011 Semi-Final vs Taylor/Williamson in 2019 Semi-Final

[Slog]

What has been more match losing?

 

[Markhor]

Let both teams bat on the surface first.

 

[Rana]

Torture watching this performance by Taylor

 

[SM1989]

Williamson/Taylor has been worse by far.

NZ batting has been an utter disgrace. They should not have been allowed to play this semi final. Pakistan were straight up wronged.

 

[Hasan123]

Teams are allowed to bowl which India have done.

 

[Slog]

Pitch isn’t as bad and bowling isn’t as good as these two made it seem

 

[Hasan123]

Must be watching a different game. India have bowled well. Not everything is selfish.

How do u know this sitting on your couch somewhere in pakistan i assume ?

Kohli, Sharma and the Indian batters will prove it

 

[ali061091]

Fully expect Indian batters to show how 'difficult' this pitch is.

 

[Hasan123]

Kohli, Sharma and the Indian batters will prove it

Well Kohli and Sharma are leagues above all NZ batters barring Williamson. So it's a lack of ability you should be questioning rather than lack of intent.

 

[Slog]

45 runs from last five overs

 

[Mercurial]

2011 seemed pretty dubious just like India's approach against England in this WC. NZ batsmen struggled or the pitch is slow, but clearly didn't look dubious at all.

 

[Extreme Pace]

New Zealand batting is struggling/out of form for many games

 

[hur rizvi]

Taylor and Williamson worse than younus/misbah

 

[superman]

Either ppl didnt watch the 2011 match or just want to protect Pakistani batsman. Misbah and YK was atrocious they came in knowing what score was needed but decided we wont chase that score we will just tuk tuk

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

misbah/younins

they were actually given a decent start and knew exactly what they needed to do

I dont want to reopen old debates, but that performance was disgusting

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Younis and Misbah. It is a real travesty that a player like Younis played so many ODIs. Worst cricketer in history to play more than 100 ODIs

 

[aukhan]

Our batsmen were simply horrendous. Hafeez and Kamran gave them a decent start. Asad also batted decently for his 30 something runs but Younis and Misbah messed it up big time in the middle overs.

misbah/younins

I dont want to reopen old debates, but that performance was disgusting

Pakistanis became poor chasers after Inzi retired. How many times you have chased a 250 plus scores successfully against a non-minnow around 2011 even in a JAMODI? The moment Raina helped us cross over 250, I knew we would be winning this. Misbah and Younis tried what they could but it was just out of their ability.

 

[Mamoon]

Younis and Misbah. Pakistan had a decent start and they were not chasing a massive total. The pitch was pretty good too, but they completely bottled under pressure and made Yuvraj and Harbhajan look unplayable.

That match truly exposed Younis for the average batsman that he really was. Only good for flat pitches in Test cricket with no scoreboard pressure.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

That’s why they say let both teams bat first. Match winning knocks from both Wilkinson and Taylor

 

[ZaudStorm]

Taylor and Williamson worse than younus/misbah

Lol

 

[Hasan123]

Williamson and Nichols partnership was key. It saw off the new all and then gave the middle order the platform. Look at how India collapsed. All of PP was saying how pathetic NZ batted. Now it looks like high quality batting in a high pressure situation.

 

[topspin]

Which WC semi-final knock was worse ?

Dhoni's today: 50 off 72 balls - SR of 69

OR

Misbah's Mohali innings: 56 off 76 balls - SR of 73

Both innings closely resemble each other statistically at face value. But which of these losing knocks was worse?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Younis’ was the worst. Followed by misbah. Dhoni wasn’t that bad. He’s been finished for a few years. People need to realize that. Ruining his legacy

 

[JaDed]

Kohli.

 

[The_KING]

Dhoni’s was worse

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

In 2011 Misbah or should i say Mis-Block Blocked Pakistan out of the finals.

 

[Hasan123]

Dhoni should have shown more intent instead of leaving on Jadeja and waiting till the end. It was a risky strategy and it didn't pay off. But India got into the mess they did because of the top order.

 

[warcry]

misbah and Younis's odi career should have ended after 2011 world cup, so bad their performance was.
Lets not forget both dropped tendulya as well. yet those two continued till 2015 world cup.

Dhoni's innings today was just as bad and as match loosing. putting all pressure on jadeja, the same way misbah put pressure on umar akmal.

 

[superman]

Dhoni wasn’t that bad he had a plan and he knew neesham had 6 balls left. Misbah and Younis were just trolling the whole nation

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Dont compare these pathetic innings with Wiliamson's great innings. Taylor's was good too but it was Willy who steady the ship.

 

[Savak]

Lol Dhoni did not bank on Guptill pulling off an impossible super fast direct hit from such a lengthy distance. Guptill won NZ the game

 

[Syed1]

How can you compare pathetic Misbah/Younis with Kane/Taylor.... Misbah and Younis were tuk tuking for no reason on a dead pitch, while Kane and Taylor assessed very early on that it is a very difficult pitch and they just have to get to 250-260 some how.

 

[Slog]

Mods please close thread. I’m embarrassed lol

 

[Rayyman]

Stupid thread.

Comparing a great partnership from two legends with a terrible partnership from two nobodies.

 

[Syed1]

Lol Dhoni did not bank on Guptill pulling off an impossible super fast direct hit from such a lengthy distance. Guptill won NZ the game

You do realize that when Dhoni got out the RRR was about 15 and there was a proper tailender at the other end. Very disrespectful towards NZ to say that had the run out not occured India would have won.

 

[moghul]

Nisbah's inning was a selfish one, lost the game for Pakistan, Williamson's , for team's sake, result showed it.

 

[Rayyman]

Let both teams bat on the surface first.

Exactly. Instead of match-losing as stated in OP, it turned out to be match-winning.

Us Pakistanis should be the last to analyse a batting performance.
