We are talking about analyzing the historical data and reach well informed decisions. This is a proven scientific method.

Today may be just another such day where Misbah scores a 50 + and we lose - God forbids.

We are most likely to lose today whether Misbah gets a duck or a hundred. What more do you want him to do here??

 

[FreeBird]

Misbah's runs in situations like these have nothing to do with it. He can only do so much.

very much possible.
Perhaps its a consistent coincidence that when he scores a 50, we usually lose?

 

[Swanny]

The trivia that pak lose when misbah proves only one thing that when misbah is out there grinding it out most of pak batsmen are in the dressing room drinking chai

 

[FreeBird]

We are most likely to lose today whether Misbah gets a duck or a hundred. What more do you want him to do here??

He can score 150 today, may be?

 

[pakistanisgreat]

match is so boring

 

[pakistanisgreat]

akmal blind slog

 

[godzilla]

That's only an emotional rant which exposes your secret crush on Misbah and hate for Afridi that you have been hiding for quite some time in a lame effort to portray as a non-bias poster.

Please take emotions out of it and provide statistical evidence.

Pakistan loses more often when Misbah scores 50 + .... It's a proven fact.

bs. its not about the proven fact, its about the conclusion. the team doesnt lose because misbh scores a fifty, its because hes the only batsman who does score. thats the reason w63whatever quit, because of his inability to actually think and from being completely humiliated time and time againf for his half assed idiotic conclusions from some unrelated set of stats.

a bit like pakistan loses when misbah scores, therefore misbah is responsible. idiotic.

We are talking about analyzing the historical data and reach well informed decisions. This is a proven scientific method.

Today may be just another such day where Misbah scores a 50 + and we lose - God forbids.

So if Misbah wasn't playing, Hafeez wouldn't have got out for a duck, Shehzad wouldn't have failed, YK would have scored a century and Haris would have hit a match defining 70.

But because Misbah is playing and scored a 50 the 10 other batsmen in the team failed.

What a career defining scientific conclusion about a batsmen...

Do you know what bias is? That's the sort of statistics that come with observer bias. You only see what you want to see. Look at Misbah score, see match result, and come to a conclusion.


Know what confounding is? Go read it up...

Otherwise just praise Afridi and enjoy the game

 

[Sizzling Soul]

come on umar akmal don't be reckless

 

[Mr Consistent]

inside edge four runs

 

[Arsal_AK]

Akmal in slog mode.

 

[Theo_14]

Milne is so good man.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

wide

 

[dhump]

Akmal is just lucky there at the moment honestly.

 

[Bilal7]

Look to score 8 runs from here on out. Get to 250 odd and bowl well.

 

[Mr Consistent]

8 runs from the over

 

[FreeBird]

So if Misbah wasn't playing, Hafeez wouldn't have got out for a duck, Shehzad wouldn't have failed, YK would have scored a century and Haris would have hit a match defining 70.

That's pretty much possible.

Just look at the shot UA played out of desperation that went for 4. Misbah created this pressure on UA.

 

[Mr Consistent]

drinks breaK

 

[pakistanisgreat]

drink and 4 overs to go before PP

 

[Abdullah]

I'm not comfortable when umar has to face the first ball after the drinks break.

 

[menace2society]

Afridi needs to fire if Pak are to make par score of 250.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

That's pretty much possible.

Just look at the shot UA played out of desperation that went for 4. Misbah created this pressure on UA.

What pressure?

Misbah 43 off 61 balls.

Umar akmal 12 off 22 balls.

It's not like Akmal is playing out of nature. He always slogs.

But since we are playing a blame game, the weather looks very bright today because Misbah is not smiling...

 

[pakistanisgreat]

That's pretty much possible.

Just look at the shot UA played out of desperation that went for 4. Misbah created this pressure on UA.

common ??? misbah did not create any pressure? Akmal even can not get singles today. look at his strike rate

 

[FreeBird]

I'm not comfortable when umar has to face the first ball after the drinks break.

It's because how Misbah is playing on the other end.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Misbah Looks well set for another 90 odd runs dismissal

 

[Sizzling Soul]

Afridi needs to fire if Pak are to make par score of 250.

right, wish

 

[dhump]

It's because how Misbah is playing on the other end.

I am not sure if sarcastic or stupid ???

 

[FreeBird]

common ??? misbah did not create any pressure? Akmal even can not get singles today. look at his strike rate

I never rated UA on any high note. He is an absolute tape ball Galli mohalla type tulla batsman. And he can't take a tiny bit of pressure that Misbah naturally creates by tuk tuk.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

that was single missed by akmal

 

[Sizzling Soul]

Misbah Looks well set for another 90 odd runs dismissal

90 will add goot part to pak total

 

[imshally81]

5th bowler problem for NZ

 

[FreeBird]

I am not sure if sarcastic or stupid ???

read post 1148 plz

 

[Sizzling Soul]

Elliot, is that same Elliot which won the champions trophy match against pakistan when younis dropped his catch and he smashed century???

 

[Hawkeye]

It's because how Misbah is playing on the other end.

Take off your hatred glasses.

 

[imshally81]

 

[pakistanisgreat]

outtttttttttttttttt

 

[dhump]

Umar Akmal

 

[Sizzling Soul]

please learn how to play straig akmal rubbish

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[pakistanisgreat]

poor shot by akmal

 

[imshally81]

Sarfaraz The Destroyer in

 

[Arsal_AK]

Umar.

Just Pathetic.

 

[Sizzling Soul]

5th bowler problem for NZ

and that took wicket

 

[pakistanisgreat]

do not think misbah will get 100

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Kaptaan creates too much pressure to other end by not taking singles and guess what.. desperate bastmen tries unwanted shots and ends up losing wickets like these

 

[Arsal_AK]

The only hope I see for Akmal now is if he starts opening. Otherwise.....

 

[Bickers]

I have rarely seen a batsman have less of a clue than Umar Akmal during those 25 balls.

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Disappointing but he's off to a good tour.

68, 77, and 13 for Umar Akmal.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

18 overs to go

 

[Justcrazy]

This is why Pakistan will fail in WC

 

[Arsal_AK]

When you say what has Misbah been doing against Milne, what have other batsmen been doing against him?

I said that not in the context of this match. The poster was implying that Misbah was the better bat just because Shehzad got beaten by three Milne deliveries.

I don't care if you are 41 or 14...

At the end of the day, everyone should be subject to same amounts of criticism.

Yes and No. You would criticize Amla or ABD more rather than deCock for instance.

I don't care if you don't think if he is the best batsmen in the side, but people having a go at his performance against Milne need a reality check.

Again, no one has gone after him for his today's outing. He has been solid so far.

It's not as if others were carting Milne around the ground.

[MENTION=47981]b[/MENTION]old.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

90 will add goot part to pak total

and that with a SR under 90 would be disastrous for Pakistan

 

[FreeBird]

UA and Sarfaraz in the playing 11 is the most stupid mix.
Only one should play.

 

[amomin]

Lol Its funny that Umar will be scrapegoat and Maqsood will come in. Coach and management will turn a blind eye to top 3

 

[Justcrazy]

115 / 5

32 overs

 

[menace2society]

This is just a disaster performance.

 

[habibi hayya]

Kaptaan creates too much pressure to other end by not taking singles and guess what.. desperate bastmen tries unwanted shots and ends up losing wickets like these

Yet he has the highest SR in today's game.

Keep trying buddy.

 

[tauseefm]

So far 3 liabilities in our bating lineup which need to be sorted out sooner than latter. Hafeez, Younis and akmal.

 

[coy0607]

Take off your hatred glasses.

Every time we talk about Misbah we are at an extreme, either we treat him as a world beater or the reason we lose...

Misbah is a good batsmen, but he isn't Amla or De Villers or Sanga, who can come in any situation and turn the game around.. Misbah will do his best and score his 50, but we have way too many other weaknesses in this batting line up for that to be enough

Don't expect too much from Misbah, and don't belittle his 50's

 

[pakistanisgreat]

why people blaming misbah ???? even umar played with the strike rate of 50

 

[Hawkeye]

The trivia that pak lose when misbah proves only one thing that when misbah is out there grinding it out most of pak batsmen are in the dressing room drinking chai

Spot on.

Some haters here need BURNOL

 

[Justcrazy]

This is the grim reality of Hafeez , this guy should never be playing . Useless batsman

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

No surprises in Pakistan innings so far exactly as per script. Top useless. Middle order under too much pressure. Lower order may or may not come off.

 

[Pete Rose]

Kaptaan creates too much pressure to other end by not taking singles and guess what.. desperate bastmen tries unwanted shots and ends up losing wickets like these

Back on earth, 4 pakistani batsmen played and dismissed playing poor cricket

 

[Arsal_AK]

Umar needs to open. His career is falling apart and he might just turn it around at that position.

If not, he will be playing T20 cricket only pretty soon.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

the amount of hate and criticism that i have seen here for MISBAH, doesnt change even when he bats at a S/R of 70-80 right from the beginning.. and again he is there as the saviour for his team as always... Must be stomach burning for some MISBAH haters and AFRIDI lovers

 

[Hawkeye]

do not think misbah will get 100

How can he get to a 100 when all other team gets out?

Story of his life.

 

[Smbhayi]

I am not sure if sarcastic or stupid ???

stupid, surely.. or blind hate..

 

[Pete Rose]

No surprises in Pakistan innings so far exactly as per script. Top useless. Middle order under too much pressure. Lower order may or may not come off.

No pressure on the middle order plenty of time to get going and not batting second.

 

[Fallen King]

Umar Akmal has been trying to slog ever since he came to the crease. He will never be middle-order batsman at all. Already survived several times in his shortest inning. Misbah is alone now. Pakistan team is in under pressure and he comes and try to slog as soon as possible. What part of him resonates as middle-order batsman?

Now i am doubting his ability as batsman if promoted as opener.

 

[Sizzling Soul]

and that with a SR under 90 would be disastrous for Pakistan

wickets falling consistently what he can do ? Still he is playing best among all

 

[pakistanisgreat]

common boys

 

[Arsal_AK]

UA and Sarfaraz in the playing 11 is the most stupid mix.
Only one should play.

Both should play.

Hafeez and YK are the ones that should have been watching from couches back home.

 

[desi_launda]

Welcome Down Under buys

 

[Justcrazy]

I do not understand why Management has become blind for so many years to someone like Hafeez

 

[menace2society]

Where is the clean hitting?

 

[emranabbas]

no rush guys 4 more days to go

 

[Smbhayi]

How can he get to a 100 when all other team gets out?

Story of his life.

not true.. how many time he left stranded

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan will lose to WI also , if this top order plays.
