Pakistan v England | 2nd T20I | Dubai | 25/2/12 | Pakistan Innings

[shane]

I think if it wasn't for Misbah's captaincy then he would not be in this side. I also think that his captaincy no longer justifies his inclusion anyway.

 

[Maher96]

Shuld have sent gulldozerr.

 

[VolcanicAsh]

WAQAR "Its good for Pakistan Misbah got out"

 

[saeedhk]

Misbah's torture is finished

 

[xkalibur80]

Alright with that, the game is over, Afridi to go next in this over.

 

[PakPosheeda]

Misbah thinks its funny how he tortures everyone. He leaves laughing.

 

[coy0607]

pure retardedness from misbah, first he blocks like 20 balls, then when afridi has it going and has the momentum he goes for the slog and throws it away.....why cant you just take a single

 

[Shayan]

Must say, that was a very poor innings by Misbah.

 

[Phool]

Misbah ne gaind ko seedha fielder ke haathon main thamadia! unhon ne socha ke woh kun Afridi se peeche rahoon! aur ab bokhal qadmon se sar ko jukhaye wapis ja rahe hain!

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Dropped

 

[Sledger]

Afridi dropped, Swann trying to save his face.

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

dropped )

 

[chui_kadoo]

Mistuk must be the most annoying cricketer ever period.

 

[TigerJat]

Pakistan need an AbdulRazzaqesque (vs SA) innings from Afridi today

Can he do it

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Dropped, hopefully a broken finger.

 

[Phool]

Misbah ne gaind ko seedha fielder ke haathon main thamadia! unhon ne socha ke woh kun Afridi se peeche rahen! aur ab bojhal qadmon se sar ko jukhaye wapis ja rahe hain!

 

[Hamxa89]

Someone please defend Misbah.. Please..I so want to hear what you've got to say this time

 

[Anwar_194]

:dropped

 

[Maher96]

Chal hammad. Bachey we need a special innings grom you.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

WHY MISBAH WHY,

WHy not just rotate the strike and let the other guy take the chances.

Agree.

 

[Osama_B]

really poor innings from misbah

 

[Amjid Javed]

dropped! afridi survives!

 

[xkalibur80]

LOL @ Waqar's comments

 

[saeedhk]

Misbah - please do not play the next game...just admit it, this game, your style and your strategy is not made for T20 format...

And also odIs

 

[chui_kadoo]

Mistuk has no place in this format

 

[Sledger]

Hammad isn't that good against spin..

 

[Inswinger]

Misbah digs a deeper hole and leaves the team hanging.

 

[ahmed16]

Rotate the strike Misbah....Afridi just go for it, poor shot from Malik but I can see what he was trying to do, its good to see that he is starting to get back into touch, he looked good today, no edges, good solid defences and good attacking shots and given the form he has been thats a positive, we need a batsman like that at number 5/6 for one days, if Malik can play like that with the rate at 5/6 in an odi he will do well.

I agree in Misbah/Malik we have two players who know how to play the situation, but the issue is they come together when where 4 wickets down?what the hell are they supposed to do? start going for it at ball one knowing only afridi is to come? I would cut them some slack! they need to come at 3/4 imo.

 

[TigerJat]

another single from Afridi, I would take a few singles here

 

[Maher96]

Afridi dont do anything stupid.

 

[Justcrazy]

Azam finally in !!!

 

[donsrk]

Hammad & Afridi seal the t20 thriller...

 

[PB]

dropped, hopefully a broken finger.

Lol..

 

[DOOSRA95]

a technical match drop by Swann

 

[chui_kadoo]

Lala top scorer for Pakistan

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hammad off the mark with 1.

 

[Sledger]

Just a single. Hammad needs an even number here really.

 

[MVP26]

Hammad gets his first run

 

[Fireworks11]

Tonight's the night for Shahid

 

[TigerJat]

nice shot, single

 

[Phool]

international cricket main aik run se aghaz kia apne career ka hamad ne!

 

[chui_kadoo]

Hamad Azam playing well

 

[Sledger]

Who the hell is Smith, Waqar?

 

[Maher96]

Well done hammad jus keep doing that boy.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Nice batting by Azam and Afridi Masha'Allah

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Hammad showing a lot more skill than Misbah.

 

[TigerJat]

another single to Afridi,
Still too many runs needed

 

[Hamxa89]

Hammad doing something which our captain couldn't do the whole innings.. Taking singles

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hammad isn't that good against spin..

Niether was Razzaq!

 

[wazzy]

Hammad & Afridi seal the t20 thriller...

This would make some awesome headlines tonight

 

[talha3]

Still 2 overs to go of Bopara/Patel. Need to smash them to have any chance

 

[chui_kadoo]

most mind boggling innings by Mistuk. SHOCKING

 

[IAJ]

Come on young Hammad!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 78/6 after 13 overs.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Someone please defend Misbah.. Please..I so want to hear what you've got to say this time

The problem is not misbah, didnt you see how 5 wickets got out, not misbah doing, the problem is, pakistan have serious batting problems, blaming misbah or cutting him out won't solve them.

 

[Maher96]

Come on need a big over hereee

 

[Hamxa89]

Who the hell is Smith, Waqar?

Did he also call Broad, Broady?

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Bopara back on

 

[TigerJat]

See Misbah how its done, just take a simple single,

that keeps the scoreboard ticking

 

[Sledger]

Bopara bowling.

 

[adilmomin]

STOP telling Misbah to rotate the striike!! He simply CANNOT due that.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Pak needs to take a leaf out of England's book....Misbah for tests only please.

 

[saeedhk]

Misbah should only stick to test cicket

 

[PB]

The problem is not misbah, didnt you see how 5 wickets got out, not misbah doing, the problem is, pakistan have serious batting problems, blaming misbah or cutting him out won't solve them.

13 off 24 is unacceptable.

 

[Justcrazy]

I do not see Pakistan get another 73 here.

 

[Sledger]

Did he also call Broad, Broady?

Yes, makes it sound as if they go way back.

 

[TigerJat]

The problem is not misbah, didnt you see how 5 wickets got out, not misbah doing, the problem is, pakistan have serious batting problems, blaming misbah or cutting him out won't solve them.

He needed to take singles, nobody was asking him to hit a six off every ball

 

[Iffitheking]

Hammad got a chance finally... but situation is like this.... I wonder if he can do justice to his talent...

 

[Hamxa89]

STOP telling Misbah to rotate the striike!! He simply CANNOT due that.

I thought I'd give up.. but it is torturous to watch him

 

[Maher96]

I have sympathy for hammad.

 

[xkalibur80]

I do not see Pakistan get another 73 here.

I can't believe you actually put in an effort to type this - well known fact my friend

 

[cricketpassion]

hammad

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

 

[Hamxa89]

Classic from Azam !!!

 

[Maher96]

Shot hammmaddd.

 

[A-khan]

:4 by azam

 

[qamar84]

 

[Sledger]

Four to Hammad, good shot by the youngster.

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

The problem is not misbah, didnt you see how 5 wickets got out, not misbah doing, the problem is, pakistan have serious batting problems, blaming misbah or cutting him out won't solve them.

Misbah was busy playing test match cricket in a T20 and you want to keep him?

There's a reason teams like England don't play Strauss in T20s, and Strauss is a better batsman than Misbah.
