[imshally81]

R u indian ??

 

[Syed2015]

Perfect time for jinxing

 

[zabalestmsm]

Come on Misbah one more.

 

[Watsupdoc]

What was that Misbah on the last over as well? )

 

[Watsupdoc]

R u indian ??

No, but his fav player is Kohli.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Misbah, we need your century now. Come on

 

[imshally81]

 

[Watsupdoc]

What the heck is Misbah doing?

 

[hussain.r97]

Misbah wants his century now!

 

[dhump]

I have to quote myself I predicted Misbah smashing last over

 

[Watsupdoc]

Misbah is looking for his century )

 

[MMHS]

Yay.

Asad you absolute beauty!
[MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION] proved wrong lol

Relax, you are taking out your own joy. This is one of Asad's better innings, looked solid - but again I am going to upset everyone here - I would have played him at 3 ........ In ODI.

 

[imshally81]

What the heck is Misbah doing?

he is brave

 

[dhump]

hahah Another King Misbah

 

[Syed2015]

And another one.

 

[hussain.r97]

)

Looks like a certain player's spirit has found it's way into Misbah.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Watsupdoc]

Misbah!!!

His son is cute!

 

[zabalestmsm]

Yay. Terrific innings.

 

[Fallen King]

Come join the party guys. We are just warming up. [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] [MENTION=10992]Fallen King[/MENTION] [MENTION=57576]MRSN[/MENTION] [MENTION=138241]axl100mph[/MENTION]

Why MENTION me? I want nothing to do with you. Don't MENTION me or Quote me at all. Clear?

 

[Shafi]

Great hundred by Misbah!!! Salute boss

 

[dhump]

Brilliant Inning from Misbah...Great century.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Come on Misbah. 3rd six required.

 

[imshally81]

Century for the Misbah

 

[aukhan]

WOW!

Hundred for Misbah

 

[hussain.r97]

Well I guess that would have blunted the new ball now. Great job.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Take a bow. Whatta knock Misbah!!!!!!!!!!

One of his best EVER knocks in test cricket. Probably his best ton?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Misbah you beauty...

 

[m.shah]

Well done misbah

 

[ChachaCricket]

It's been a good knock from Shafiq. Came in a tricky situation.

Fantastic hundred from Misbah.

 

[JibranAnsari]

What an innings by Misbah , he surprises his opposition like no other.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Take a bow. Whatta knock Misbah!!!!!!!!!!

One of his best EVER knocks in test cricket. Probably his best ton?

No not really, it was entertaining though

 

[Ahson8]

Great hitting, Misbah. Well played
Also that Shafiq cover drive in the 89th over was pure class.

Back to studies now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah has ensured this day belongs to Pakistan, Thanks!

 

[zabalestmsm]

Mard e momin, mard e haq. Misbah ul haq, misbah ul haq

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hundred at a good strike rate.

 

[dhump]

Pakistans day...Brilliant from Misbah ul Haq.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Needs to double his score tomorrow.

Pakistans day in the end.

 

[MMHS]

This guy Misbah is a piece - every time I plan to write something on why he should retire, he comes back to stop me. I 'll not be surprised if he gets a 100 & then plan to tour AUS in 2017.

Playing really well - hardly troubled & looks determined.

Within an hour today, this guy game me the impression that he is under control of the proceedings - hope he doesn't plan for Boxing Day MCG Test now ....

 

[rogue marine]

vukha buddhe ki samne dolly spinner ko bhej diya

 

[Pantani]

Nice knock by Misbah

 

[zabalestmsm]

We will surely miss Misbah's sixes after his retirement.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Take a bow. Whatta knock Misbah!!!!!!!!!!

One of his best EVER knocks in test cricket. Probably his best ton?

His first against India was the most important one.

 

[simpleton]

Wah bhai wah... mazaaa aa gaya. i think Pak needs him back in the LOI squad too, as a # 4

 

[waleed88]

We need some youngsters to learn from him, as well some of those who are making a comeback.

Specially how to handle short pitch stuff. Its easy to panic and get out caught, but it takes determination to stay and fight it out

 

[waleed88]

Misbah was determined today to prove a point. He learnt from his mistake in the last test match.

Didnot get out to a stupid dismissal. Also enjoyed the way he took on the spinners, they were overhyped after the last innings.

I think Cook's knock brought new life into Misbah. He was determined to prove his credentials as a captain.

Captain vs Captain. It should be a good contest.

 

[khalil1986]

Misbah always does the unexpected.

Well done skip you legend.

 

[Abdullah719]

Masha'Allah, very good knock by Misbah. He knows his limitations and plays to them. Excellent concentration and mental toughness.

 

[waleed88]

Within an hour today, this guy game me the impression that he is under control of the proceedings - hope he doesn't plan for Boxing Day MCG Test now ....

He was up for it. I think he wanted to prove a point to his detractors.

Also I think he wants a double ton. He sees this as a flaw in his tally of runs. It would be a good milestone to reach before he retires.

 

[Markhor]

Those reverse sweeps had my heart in my mouth. Surely he'd have blocked the next ball after that close call...nope, slogs the next for six over mid-on

Well done skipper.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

There should have been a Younus hundred as well today. What a pity!

 

[Fallen King]

Well Done, Skipper! I underestimated you once again..

 

[asyed]

Excellent innings, never looked uncomfortable against any bowler (though he was tested with short pitches). He remained focused and determined to do well today.

However, both Misbah and Asad still needs to continue to take total close or beyond 450+. Tomorrow's first session would be tricky, so they must have to survive.

 

[simpleton]

wish this bloke never retires.. yaar. he is just way too good. dont think there can be a better pair than MYK & Misbah.. Just wish the third wall was also around - MoYo...
Imagine, what a difference that would have made to the middle order

Three 40+ year olds anchoring in what can be termed as the best threesome middle order in a while

Who is the third 40 year old? Hope you don't mean Shafiq.

 

[dhump]

R u indian ??

Nope what made you think that ?

 

[simpleton]

Who is the third 40 year old? Hope you don't mean Shafiq.

read the post. i meant if MoYo was still around

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

read the post. i meant if MoYo was still around

Lol Moyo even struggled when he was 33 or something ab tak kya chalte Yousuf sahab. Poor fitness, poor attitude. But yea a few more years of Moyo would have been amazing.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Wow Shaan Masood is pretty tall. Rameez looks like a little guy infront of him lool.

 

[Critical Analyst]

Brilliant knock by Misbah, proved his critics wrong once again, this knock should seal the mouths of those who persisted that he bottles underpressure and is a scratchy player, well actions speak louder than words and Misbah showed it today with this valiant knock in tough circumstances.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Shan's english is really good. Did he study in the UK?

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Shan's english is really good. Did he study in the UK?

Guy got rich parents so probably has had good education somewhere abroad.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Sky sports team impressed with Shan masood's communication skills.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Only if his batting was half as good as his communication skills.

 

[Couch Cricketer]

Guy got rich parents so probably has had good education somewhere abroad.

From what I know he also was in the same school as cook and played for the same school cricket team.

Sent from my SM-G925I

 

[Watsupdoc]

Guy got rich parents so probably has had good education somewhere abroad.

From the way he was speaking, it seemed like he studied in a UK university.

 

[Robert]

Batted Misbah. I think PAK can be happy with that, after a slight wobble at 180-4.

 

[waleed88]

From the way he was speaking, it seemed like he studied in a UK university.

He's a MANU fan, there was pic of him having every MANU T-shirt since 2007 I think (on instagram)

He has a closet full of them.

 

[Slog]

From the way he was speaking, it seemed like he studied in a UK university.

ywp. Loughbrough i think.

did really well too

 

[Cricket lover 27]

From the way he was speaking, it seemed like he studied in a UK university.

Yes he has studied in the UK. Currently he is doing MSC sports science from Loughborough university.
