Earlier on I said Pakistan 115 all out, somebody said I was very optimistic..

I was 4 runs short but I'd like to see what that person says now...
 
Misbah should be shot. Not for sucking but for sucking in the beginning so much that no matter what he does in the end to make up for it, it will never be enough.
 
its not misbahs fault. blame the selection committee for sending openers who have been tried and tested. blame waqar and shahid afridi for not picking alam and shafiq
 
I know this has been said a zillions times but I'm still surprised at our utter ineptness at playing spin...marcus north, hauritz, swan and now botha.

The ODI's and Tests will be fun :yk
 
That sums up Misbah for you. 0 0 0 6 0 W

Either it has to be a boundry or a dot ball. There is nothing between that for him. It'll take a lot of guts but I think Misbah needs to dropped for the next match, while keeping the rest of the team unchanged. Will send a very strong signal to grandpa. It's not about getting runs for yourself only, the team should benefit.

SA will chase this within 17 overs. It all too much even for the likes of Akhter. This is a very good batting pitch
 
Minus out 25 runs from 119 and you will know whatever and however Afridi got out he brought life into this match so no he cannot be blamed for this poor performance coz he did what he had to do.

Its the rest of the team that should be blamed!

50 off 30 is better than 25 off 7. He should have kept his wicket, so I'd say that he's partly to blame.
 
Pakistan are on 7/1 odds to win this match. Bet £10 and win £70 in return if Pakistan win this match.

p.s. don't bet, it's haram

true if he kept his wicket he could make 50 or even 100 Misbah did good job of keeping his wicket but he played in ODI format not T20
 
looking at the scorecard, the 2 lowest strike rates were umar akmal and shazaib! huge surprise there. they also had really low scores (other than 10 from farhat at 125 strike rate) in the top order. what does afridi/mgmt do now. should they drop akmal/shahzaib for shafiq/alam for next t20, that would be really wierd!
