What's the point of playing at even 200 when we can't play out 50?

Yesterday Australians were bowled out for 150 trying to play too fast. The good news was they had the bowling to do same back to NZ.

We have neither.

Can't be choosers in this case.

True that, but only justification for Misbah is rest of our batsman are even worse... so one eyed man is king in the country of blinds...
 
Again you are not getting the point. His current strike rate is fine given the way other's have batted, but there is no excuse for scoring only 3 runs off 30 odd balls.

What difference does it make when he's able to correct it at the end.

Scoring rate doesn't matter for us. We're unable to play all 50 overs. It doesn't matter if you score at 10 an over when your batsmen are going to get out at 150-170. The point should be to conserve wickets and try to take the game into the late overs. This will allow us to get to the 250-275 mark. That is the only way.
 
Why Pakistan bowlers are such a mug with the bat?

Just look at Wahab Riaz.

He is playing EVERY delivery the SAME EXACT WAY.

A tentative block. Just cannot swing the bat in power plays.

Unfair on Wahab.

He can actually bat really well.

But he doesn't want to slog like others before him, or get out like clueless players before him.

Misbah has been scoring consistently. I don't understand the reason for the hate.

Absurd really.
 
Only positive thing from this world cup is that Misbah will no more be captain of ODI.
We will miss him as a batsman though
 
Same old rubbish, Pakistan cricket is done and dusted. There is no for the future.

I'm done. Complete waste of time.

I can utilize this time for something more productive.

Welcome to another horror show today with your signature line - Pak cricket is done and dusted. Sad times for PAK fans.

Absurd really.

The point is he has no ability to score runs by scoring singles and double, he has no sense, captain should lead from the front, blindly supporting someone is stupid, as a leader he has to up his game.
 
Umar akmal time is up so is maqsood and jamshed should all be classified as TTF

It makes all the difference to the other batsman, one he is not getting enough strike and secondly it kills all the momentum for the team. If he had gone at a strike rate of even 40 or 50 at the start, we probably would have been in a better position at the moment.

Or he could have got out, and we would have been even worse.

Hindsight is always good.
 
is Ramiz seeing the match from studio , he couldn't see the fielder on the ground!
 
if everyone would bat like Misbah no one would get out but the score will only be 100 or 150
 
just got home from work to watch this game online which i paid 30 dollar. wish they offered a refund. wat a waste of money

Absurd really.

The horror actually isnt only the team performance this WC, its also the reaction that the majority of fans here have come up with...the collective intelligence of this nation shines brighter than ever every time you scour away at the surface.
 
Who think Misbah is a good captain in terms of
1. decision after winning toss
2. selecting playing eleven
3. field placing
4. attacking captaincy
 
Pakistani commentators have no brain of their own, they all observe which way the wind is blowing and change their comments to fit in.

I find the same with 70% Indian commentators as well.The Aussies not on Channel 9 were wonderful yesterday that even when Shikhar dhawan caught a good catch at slips they said it wasn't the right way and he would defn miss like that in future.
 
What does scoring at a run a ball achieve when you can't bat all 50 overs?

The lack of cricketing knowledge on this forum is astonishing honestly. Not only cricket knowledge just basic common sense.

And whats the point of playing all 50 overs with a SR of mid <40 :murali. What do you acheive?
 
How the heck is trying to take singles equal to getting out? :facepalm:

Communcation gap, wrong calls.. plenty can happen in a frenzy.

I am not actually defending him here..

I think he played a tad too slow at the start, but now when I see Pakistan team like this, I feel he has done the right thing..
 
Misbah will not get a century clearly he needs a lot more than 50 overs to do so! Best thing for us will be to lose evry game from here on forward and kick every single player out and start afresh with new board management and players I rather have youngsters fail over and over to have these TTFs break my heart over an over again!

Wahab as always giving 100% and playing according to the situation. Our top order should take notes.

If everyone stuck to the crease like Misbah they would achieve more than Misbah because they have other gears and after getting set, they can attack comfortably.

Misbah weakness is inability to close out pressure innigns, and I don't think anyone else suffers from that.
