S Africa v Pakistan | 2015 WC | Group B 29th Match | 7th March '15 | Auckland | Pakistan innings

[Big Mac]

OK, this is a bit slow.

 

[Arsal_AK]

I swear, I am going to smash something.

 

[GreenRage]

Ridiculous from misbah what bad position is Pakistan in now or what demons in the pitch are troubling him that he can't rotate the strike absolutely pathetic.

 

[hur rizvi]

8 off 27

 

[Watsupdoc]

Misbah is doing ok here, if a wicket falls now you guys will all go berserk. So let Younis and Misbah control these middle overs, they are the difficult ones to score.

At least rotate the strike ffs. No one is asking him to hit boundaries...

 

[corleone]

Wow, Misbah doesn't even want to score singles.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Good time to warm some more food up with this partnership

 

[MoinHaroon]

Where the Misbah fans!! Now he will score 50 because everyone around him are going to get out trying to score. What a pethetic player

 

[Gone]

this is really poor stuff, i didnt expect misbah to tuk tuk here...

Killed the momentum

 

[IAJ]

Come on misbah, singles man!

 

[akamaka]

disgusting batting from misbah, selfish really.

 

[Noork85]

Steyn's tattooed left arm looks hideous. Seems as though it is infected.

Ramiz must be pulling his hair out if he was batting with Misbah.

What the heck is wrong with this guy? Why is he such a coward ?

you mean his wig

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Misbah is doing ok here, if a wicket falls now you guys will all go berserk. So let Younis and Misbah control these middle overs, they are the difficult ones to score.

Uhm no. Sarfraz showed its not difficult.

 

[90MPH]

The awkward moment when you would rather have Younis on strike than Misbah

lol, so true.

 

[Lajpaal]

8 off 26 isnt justifiable

If he gets dismissed without accelerating, I would agree with you.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Younus took a single on first ball he faced after 2 overs

 

[Sam18696]

Nooo clouds go away

 

[khanpower]

misbah is only test player..... but for last 7 years he is dreaming of becomming a one day bater...
what a joke . he kills the whole fast pace of this game. we will end up 240 max. thats his best

 

[ekpakistani]

Misbah is doing typical KLPD on fans

 

[SchoolGirlCricketCaptain]

Good platform by Pakistan. By playing sensibly from here on they can set a stiff target and upset South Africa.

 

[Aloo Chaat]

Misbah 9 (28)

......

 

[mnoman15]

misbah has no intention to score ,,, block block .. tuk tukk

 

[ugem]

Misbah not comfortable with good RR. So trying to get it down to his comfortzone.

 

[Zeshan547]

SubhanAllah Maa Sadqay Jaey Misbah Putar single na banen na tay mout pay jaey ge.

 

[Bilsher007]

misbah needs to take singles, dot balls are unaccetable especially too many.

 

[Anchorman]

This is awful batting from Misbah. No amount of accelaration from him at the end will make up for the momentum he has sucked out of the innings.

Meanwhile, Younus is milking their bowlers for singles.

 

[Saeed]

Misbah just took a single,

 

[Iffitheking]

Misbah came and messed up wonderful run rate..

 

[zabalestmsm]

YK must take on Imran Tahir! Misbah is in pressure!

 

[nalsra_ladnog]

Misbah taking up all time to get settled

 

[Greenshadow]

Can't wait to see him retire. Pathetic

 

[ekpakistani]

Misbah... dream of every bowler

 

[Arsal_AK]

PAK 'll not cross 300 for that run out - chance was 325+

True.

I just cant even......

WTH is this??

 

[coy0607]

Pathetic bating this by Misbah- I dont know how people support him so much

 

[waleed88]

Remember virat kohli played a similar innings against south africa

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Where has those glorifiers gone who were saying the Asian Bradman can easily get runs over 100 SR if the team has god start
As usual hiding under the shell just like their idol is doing right now

 

[Aloo Chaat]

Boooooo

 

[adzzy786]

I don't understand what misbah is trying to do? Is he trying to save the match and bat out the day? Does he not realise it is an ODI.. Killed all the momentum. He's not even taking singles! What is he playing at!

 

[Sam18696]

Misbah.

Tez khelo plz

 

[castortroy]

Misbah has truly destroyed any momentum in this innings

 

[waleed88]

He was 9 of 29 vs south africa.

People need to relax.

Afridi lobby needs to know we need to play out 50 overs.

 

[Zeshan547]

And now Misbah fans will so "you see how he stablized the middle overs" what a champion batsman he i Salute to you Misbah.

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Other way to look at misbah's tuk tuk is that if these two stay on till 35th over.. pak could be 165 and then they can go beserk in last 15.. and score 300+

Or be all out for 230.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Dont blame yunis now if he gets out.
Misbah is trying his best.. to put pressure on him.

 

[imshally81]

Tuk Tuk in progress..

 

[IAJ]

Misbah needs to worry less about rest of the batting today, we are not 5 down so up the tempo man, dont get more haters now.

 

[Aloo Chaat]

Tuk tuk film dekhi hai apne?

 

[Bilsher007]

Misbah..needs to lay attacking cricket,..our run rate has slipped from 5.47 down to 4.83....

 

[khanpower]

four old player must be kicked out of team . MISBAH YOUNIS HAFEEZ SHAHZAD ( i know he is young but only playing for himself. )
take out these four we are good again.

 

[Iffitheking]

because of this Inning there is huge pressure on Younus who is managing decent strike rate... I sense Younus going get himself out...

 

[castortroy]

Has to go at AB

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Huge on saffers defensive tactics and an even bigger on Misbah's inability to take advantage of them.

 

[Noork85]

these two need to get a move on it. gotta give the bowlers SOMETHING to work with. Given their batting line up 250 is not enough.

 

[GreenRage]

Even Arun Lal is ****** at misbah lol.

 

[akamaka]

last 9-10 overs only 20 runs

 

[GreenKnightRises]

This is why The opposition fans love Misbah especially the Indian fans

 

[Sam18696]

Atleast smash AB yar

 

[FreeBird]

Remember virat kohli played a similar innings against south africa

9 runs on 29 balls?? Was that Kohli ?

 

[TNA]

Misbah not comfortable with good RR. So trying to get it down to his comfortzone.

Yeah Sarfraz destroyed all the gameplan

He is trying to to bring it in balance.

 

[adzzy786]

He's batting so slow for he part time bowlers! We should be capitalising not letting them bowl out. They were all under pressure earlier, but misbah wants to give the SA bowlers confidence do he's batting like he's saving a test match

 

[akamaka]

Even Arun Lal is ****** at misbah lol.

what did he say?

 

[nads_rocks]

Uhm no. Sarfraz showed its not difficult.

Misbah aint no Safraz, Umar, Maqsood or Afridi, keep trust in the captain, am sure he knows what is required. I know runs have dried up but we can easily go from 115-2 to 150-5...

 

[yadunoe]

Yaar ye Misbah Hume made ga

 

[Arsal_AK]

This is simply inexcusible, even if makes a ton.

Disgusting stuff.

 

[ekpakistani]

I think misbah really believes that he can bore opposing teams to defeat

 

[Watsupdoc]

Good time for AB to ball, with Misbah tuk tuking...

 

[rhony]

Guys..relax..we still have 6 overs of Duminy

 

[Ottoman]

Time to hit out now. Stupid Misbah is putting pressure on himself and Younis.

 

[Greenshadow]

Misbah needs to worry less about rest of the batting today, we are not 5 down so up the tempo man, dont get more haters now.

He is incapable of doing so. Can only score when a match is already one. He is a true match loser

 

[Bilsher007]

Misbah needs to worry less about rest of the batting today, we are not 5 down so up the tempo man, dont get more haters now.

I agree...Misbah please rotate strike

 

[the Great Khan]

need about 30 in 6 overs ..

 

[coy0607]

He was 9 of 29 vs south africa.

People need to relax.

Afridi lobby needs to know we need to play out 50 overs.

its not the 9 off 29, its how he's doing it.. forward defense for 6 straight balls to Imran Tahir, the same guy Sarfraz was smashing around the ground.. this is truly inexcusable, pathetic batting

 

[dhump]

They must go after ABD

 

[ekpakistani]

Misbah can't even hit de villiers haha

 

[MMHS]

Misbah is killing the momentum, at the same time if it's 3 down, I don't have much trust on YK, Umar & Maqs. This was one classic example when PAK could have sent Afridi at 4............. & take PP may be after few overs.

 

[Aloo Chaat]

we're 15-20 runs short of where we should ATLEAST be

 

[Jabo]

10 from 31

What the hell is misbah excuse today

 

[imshally81]

 

[nads_rocks]

, lucky

 

[FreeBird]

Should have sent in Umer Akmal instead.

Misbah, PLEASE GET OUT !!
