Thrashed you pretty everywhere after that in ODIs .

Gave that trophy to you as bakshish so that PAK fans have something to cling on to especially when both their economy and sport is falling apart.

Try not to lose every Test when you tour the Southern Hemisphere and then we can talk :inti

Ok, you won 2 series. But when it mattered in the Test championship final a bruising battering. Same in the world cup final, and same in the CHAMPIONS TROPHY FINAL.

Yes. Winning a meaningless Champions Trophy that nobody cares about has been the high watermark of Pakistan cricket in the last 15 years

Come on dude, we all agree India is the better team last years or even decade compared to Pak, but you cant dismiss the CT FINAL of 2017 as ''nobody cares''. How many times has there been a final between the 2 teams in ICC 50 overs events? It was a huge game and not some JAMODI. There was an actual trophy on the line.

So pack your bags mid series and whine about a poor team? Is that what a good captain is supposed to do?

Why are you bringing Shahid Afridi into this? Do you think I'm some fan of his?

This is the problem with all you blind followers of Misbah, you have to bring an even worse example to deflect from any criticism that is made towards your favourite player.

You fail to miss the point that keeping up a team's morale after a defeat is important. Some cope by drinking and visiting pubs. Pakistan coped by eating cake.

We've had debates on Misbah before and I know you well enough to know that you're being disingenuous because you're obviously going out of your way here to clutch at straws, as you're incapable of criticising Misbah. It's almost as if your life depends on him despite all the damage he's done to Pakistan cricket.

Having said all that I'll play devil's advocate with you. There's an obvious need for Misbah to keep up the team's morale to ensure the side does not become demoralised following the loss to Australia in Brisbane, as there are two test matches left in the series. In response to the defeat, he decides to arrange a cake cutting ceremony right after the game, with full knowledge of the cake cutting being video recorded. The footage of the cake cutting has gone public on social media and can be easily found. Fans/ex-players wonder why is cake being cut at this moment after a test match is being lost?

It doesn't matter what coping mechanism you use, you simply cannot justify the timing and the damage this footage has done.

Cake cutting was a remnant of the Misbah era and he brought Pakistan cricket to a new low after facilitating the events that occurred after the lost Brisbane test. It was nowhere near as profound, prior to his captaincy. Now, it's become more and more of a frequent event in Pakistan cricket. It's safe to say that Misbah is the one who set this low threshold to justify such celebrations. He proudly said in an interview that 5fers and tons would always be celebrated with cake, regardless of the outcome of the match. The bottom line is it was his own policy, so stop resorting to lame coping mechanisms to justify his actions that have completely ruined the psyche of Pakistan cricket.

no Indian fan can deny that they would have wanted their team to get better results in the recent ICC events. At the same time, no Pakistan fan can deny that they would have hoped for better result from their side in important overseas tours like Aus. We have plenty of threads for Indo-Pak banters but this isn't the one. This thread is on Pak players and their celebrations. @topspin raised a point of how Misbah encouraged mediocrity and someone was finding it difficult to defend his hero as Topspin had counter to his every response. So he turned it into India vs Pakistan. That's how Subcontinent cricketer fan-boys play their games. An experienced poster such as you must be aware of all this.

An ICC final is more important than any Test series.

ODI World Cup - Yes
T20 World Cup - If it was every 4 years I would have said yes but it’s every 2 years so loses the charm and value of a World Cup IMO.
CT - No

For fans of old cricketing nations test series win in SENA will always hold high value.

However, the way things are going once our generation dies or becomes irrelevant tests will lose its charm.

I haven't mentioned anybody. In general though that's the standard of Pakistan captains, they think they're bigger than the team. Misbah was a fresh of breath air compared to the lot of the past.

I'm glad you recognize the obvious for the need to keep up a team's morale. Similarly I hope you recognize another obvious which is that Misbah's era was bereft of any genuine super stars of the 90's 2000's. He carried a team of no body's and made the best out of them, took them to # 1 that very same year. There was genuine hype for that Australia series. The PCB wanted to cash in and make some super stars by giving performers attention. They cut a cake and recorded it, what's the harm in that? Bear in mind, fitness standards in Misbah's era were very high. The cake didn't harm anyone.

The footage you're referring to clearly has a title that they're celebrating Asad Shafiq's century. You posted it yourself so I'm not sure what leads you to believe that they're celebrating a test match loss.

come back with some actual criticisms of Misbah which are valid not some cake cutting ceremony as the root of all evil.

Not only Misbhah Ul Haq brought mediocrity and killed the culture of Pakistan Cricket, he is hypocrite and a corrupt person as well.

He sat on a committee determining the future of Mickey Arthur, only to get the same role for himself later and enjoy the perks
and high pay. What a pathetic and corrupt individual he turned out to be.
Power hungry with a loser mindset. Talks about fitness standards these days lol.. Why the hell did you select Azam Khan then ?

It’s refreshing to read this from a non-Pakistan fan because the fact that you can see this speaks volumes about how it’s become so profound, regarding the damage that Misbah did to Pakistan cricket.

If Misbah was Indian, there’s no way he would be revered by Indian fans like he is by a minority of Pakistan fans who have this loser mentality. I don’t know whether to feel sorry or to have pity for those who simp over a guy who never cared about the best interests of Pakistan cricket.

Truer words have never been spoken. He ousted Mickey Arthur after going behind his back merely to take his job for himself despite holding no relevant experience and coaching qualifications.This is how low the standards have become in Pakistan cricket.

Pakistan players such as Babar and Azam Khan have received further increases from the PCB in their Daily Biryani Allowances (DBAs). The outcome is visible to all as their bellies are there for everyone to see.
 
The thread is derailing guys. Please stay on topic. We have misbah and azam khan, fitness thread available for this conversation.

Mohsin Naqvi threatened the team in their first meeting that if they didn't deliver, they will face consequences. I hope he lives up to his promises and treats them Punjab police style because these cabal of average cricketers deserve it.

issue is that Naqvi Sahab is also not sure whether he will still be the chairman by then to take action against them as the musical chairs game is currently going on in the PCB.

Naqvi is the most powerful man in the country after the COAS, he is even more powerful that the PM Shahbaz Sharif. He will be here to stay as long as GHQ desires.
 
What the ....
Are these guys for real?

How can one even think of such a ''celebration''
We are seriously doomed as long as we have these jokers playing for Pakistan.

Any sane person with 1% dignity would be full of shame and in no mood for such pathetic stuff.
They treat it is if they are playing for a 5th grade Sunday team in a local league!
 
I don't think even teams like Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, Netherlands etc. celebrate their individual milestones in such a brazen manner after crushing defeat and when series is on the line
 
This is apparently part of the PCB's drive to boost the team's fan engagement.
 
Pak should target 100 of the last 12 overs in the next game.. should be a piece of cake.

Thats why so many folks are done with these clowns. Nobody cares anymore. Its like a Sunday level 7 team on in a local leaugue.
 
Imagine paying to see them lose to Ireland and the next day they’re eating cake as if they weren’t humiliated the day before.

This is easily the worst era of Pakistan cricket, I genuinely feel sorry for all the young kids that have to grow up watching these clowns represent Pakistan cricket team.

We went from the WWF Attitude Era to the current WWE PG Era. A bunch of grown ahh men eating cake probably every other day.

PSL money has made them soft. They don't care about internationals anymore.

They treated the world cup in India like a holiday.

They way they were munching on food was so embarrassing as if they never had seen food before.

In canada, i get so many indian options but i just dont like indian food. The way they use garam masala is just so off putting. I make it a point to find a Pakistani eatery option. Even my non pakistani friends once they get to know the difference prefer pakistani food.
 
I think PCB should have avoided these kind of celebration to be posted on social media. That is fine if they are celebrating a birthday but it does not sound good for fans when they saw this happy chappy things on social media 1 day after getting humiliated by a minnow team.
 
Really poor management. Need some serious business there. It's right before world cup after losing to Ireland. Come on man. Reminds of that guy whose meme got famous who gave that interview during 2019 wc.
 
I used to be a bit indifferent towards this stuff but now it’s making me hate this group of guys with a passion. What a bunch of clowns.
 
At this point I think the PCT is trolling all of us. It’s like a running joke. They have a cake guy in every city they travel to, even on an airplane.
 
They are not soldiers and they are not fighting a war so totally harmless having a party during non-game down time or post match.

Western teams enjoy a drink after the game regardless of the result; let the boys enjoy cake at least :)

The right reason to have a cake

See this is the difference in mentality between Misbah and the Indian team right here.

If Pakistan lost the final but if any of the players took a 5fer or scored a ton, he would have asked for a cake to be cut. This exactly what he said when he was asked why cake was being cut after a lost test match against Australia in Brisbane. For those who don't remember, the cake was cut to celebrate Asad Shafiq's hundred in a losing cause.
 
Cake celebrations are still going on...

Sidra Amin's birthday this time...

Cake isnt the reason.
The melt down regarding the cake takes place by pakistani posters that live overseas and think pakistan is like Uk/Canada/USA

They eat a slice of cake once in a while, and some of these posters start having meltdowns as if the whole thing has been eaten.

Meanwhile, top atheles like Alex Ovechkin eat cheetos, subway sandwiches and drink pepsi before games.

Our players only get to taste such luxuries when they get to this level.

It shouldn't be posted on social media, but yeah, it's slightly cultural, too.

Aussies will have beer in the dressing room whether they win or lose. Same with English or Saffers. It is a way of unwinding.

What can Muslims do to unwind and bond? It is really only things like this isn't it?

But from a fan perspective, posting it on social media after a lost match doesn't seem appropriate as the cake is usually seen as something celebratory.

There's nothing wrong with them eating cake or even celebrating among themselves but when they post on social media people are bound to react a certain way, especially when the team is performing so poorly. The optics are very negative. You're telling people that we are celebrating mediocrity. It's not just posters here, you should see the comments sections of these videos.

Me and my friends celebrate alot of things but we don't feel the need to constantly post everything on social media.

Also don't think that cake is a luxury that they can only access when they become elite athletes. A Layers cake (which is pretty good) is an affordable luxury even for lower-income bracket individuals.

Not talking about the women cricketers celebrating Sidra Amin's birthday. But there have been numerous instances in the past when the team was getting thrashed and after the match these guys were cutting cakes for personal milestones and posting videos.
