Hafeez The Review Wasting Man

 

[hussain.r97]

Howzat!

 

[Big Mac]

Why are you such a big fan of Misbah? I know the rest are pretty below average but he's just the best of a bad lot.

That gif was just a response to a truly terrible post, from a pretty terrible poster. Don't need to like Misbah to see that.

All the umpires call in favour of Aussies

 

[MRSN]

Hafeez has to be a very unlucky guy.

 

[MRSN]

This guy is a just a pathetic umpire.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

He acts like he is the best of bad lots, by not including better players in the Team.

 

[Sam18696]

Howzat!

Look at that footwork

 

[Big Mac]

All the umpires call in favour of umpires

Fixed that for you.

I'm not talking about that. I just find any criticism of Misbah you portray this defensive narrative as though he has been a great player for Pakistan. Again, during the last 2-3 years he's been our best batsmen, but it isn't really much of an accomplishment when we've been so awful in that department.

The Younis Khan LBW?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Hafeez's action still needs to be assessed imo. Could be borderline.

 

[Amjid Javed]

This umpires call result on some of these reviews is just plain stupid

 

[GreenKnightRises]

A Century each from Johnson And Marsh will seal off the game

 

[Sam18696]

Why are they focusing on Misbah while talking about Polio? Is it his fault or something

 

[Justcrazy]

Come on get wickets.

 

[MRSN]

Howzat!

What about Lyon's double ton?

A lot of bowlers can be boderline.

Any criticism? Really?

Or unfounded criticism from complete idiots?

Go back and find a single post where I've responded to someone that made a proper criticism about his limited range of shots or lack of big hundreds.

Go on.

[Justcrazy]

Hafeez needs to contribute with the ball.

 

[Sam18696]

Johnson struggling against Hafeez

 

[Justcrazy]

[Sam18696]

What about Lyon's double ton?

Or SOK triple?

 

[Sam18696]

Babar back.

 

[Justcrazy]

Hafeez cannot play on his bowling alone , he is not wicket taking option.

 

[Big Mac]

Gonna stick a couple of drops in his chai at the tea break instead of sweetener

 

[GreenKnightRises]

noise of bat hitting pad

This is an international game. !! You are not an Umpire if you can't understand the sound difference of bat hitting the pad and ball hitting the pad.

 

[hussain.r97]

Look at that footwork

) appeal karra hai ya dance karraha hai)

Best footwork in Pakistan

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar needs to turn a few balls to create doubts.

 

[Justcrazy]

Direct hit ... but not out.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Nintendo Videogame jaise dikh raha he

 

[Justcrazy]

Johnson using his feet well.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Should go for a review

 

[Justcrazy]

Review. Looks not out though

 

[Sam18696]

Another review. Papa Marsh nervous

 

[Big Mac]

This looks bloody close

 

[GreenKnightRises]

[Nikhil_cric]

Gonna stick a couple of drops in his chai at the tea break instead of sweetener

[Amjid Javed]

We need a 100 run lead here so need to keep picking wkts up quickly, cant allow Aussies to get on a par with us

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar strikes.

 

[Sam18696]

Crap umpires

Hafeez The Review Wasting Man

 

[Sam18696]

Papa Marsh disappointed

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hopefully this should be out

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Marsh gone.

 

[Convict]

All out for under 300

 

[m.shah]

this umpire is a terribl terrible guy

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Umpires couldn't even give that plumb decision.!! what a pretty low standard Umpiring,!!

 

[saiyan0312]

gone is marsh. man umpires need glasses here.

 

[aukhan]

 

[Amjid Javed]

Right into the tail now, MJ can slog and siddle is a good bat so more hard work needed here.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

poor umpiring. that was plumb.

 

[akamaka]

Cmon boys wrap it up now.

 

[Big Mac]

A lead of 150+ is on here, which would be amazing after 7/2 and then that century opening stand from Australia.

 

[aukhan]

Zulfi got the talented one :zulfi

 

[Sam18696]

SOK to make a triple. You heard it first here!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

This was from Zulfy

 

[the Great Khan]

out this time. Love the way Pakistan are bowling as a unit!!

 

[aukhan]

Wonder Boy Marsh out.

 

[Ahson8]

Come on boys; just 3 more wickets.

 

[the Great Khan]

Like Aj said we need to get some more quick wickets. Jonno can bat!! they will fight to give us as low a lead as possible. Then attack us hard!

Go on.

Neither do I care about it, nor do I have the time for it.

You can't say to me you don't have at least some bias towards Misbah.

If you say to me that it's only for the people who underrate him severely or attack him for things that he doesn't control, it's not always the case. Many times I'll see a post regarding a Misbah criticism and it will deflect to X or Y player.

Misbah scored a 50 at an SR of 50, but everyone else around him fell, it's their fault, not Misbah's. Giving a surface answer like that in every case becomes a bit tedious.

I don't think Misbah is to blame for Pakistans problems, our lack of talent is, but I just am not a fan of glorifying him unjustly.

This man would not make any team barring West Indies and Bangladesh. Not that the others would make other teams either but he's just an average player who knows the value of a wicket.

He's not a winning player, and if you say 50s and wins, well you'd have to do a deep analysis of that and see in the match context. Our bowling won is matches, not Misbah for the most part. For the last year or so it's been the kids.

I wish we brought him on when he was in his late 20s because he would have been much better than a lot of the awful players we brought on, but in the last year and a half he's been a limited batsmen who makes most runs off odd boundaries and wastes too many deliveries. I understand the concept of wickets falling and not getting out, but consolidation and playing positive cricket to win the match still should be on the cards. It's not that hard to take a single every other ball.

A lot I'll admit has to do with his age though and he is definitely a man of honour so it sucks he has been given the cards he has.

 

[IAJ]

Yasir shah should have been there instead of Rahat

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Terrible fielding. And the fielder acting as if has made an awesome save

 

[IAJ]

 

[Sam18696]

Hafeez gets his first

 

[Justcrazy]

Out


Eight down
