I dont think its a bad strategy by misbah.

Its about keeping wickets in hand

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Misbah treating AB as a part timer :MV ... Oh wait isn't AB ....

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[azamcricketer]

.P .D F . . . To Z for Misbah

[Sam18696]

finally you do something

 

[angrypathan]

by , almost got out though

 

[On_the_up]

lucky boundary

 

[ekpakistani]

ABD pitied our run rate

 

[the Great Khan]

ufff..almost got out..cmon yaar..just need to be sensible here..this ground has tiny boundaries..

 

[ShahKhan007]

YK should just run out Misbah. Its amazing how kills any momentum.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Thank god a 4!

 

[imshally81]

10 from 31

What the hell is misbah excuse today

To See Off Styn

 

[waleed88]

should have sent in umer akmal instead.

Misbah, please get out !!

oh please relax akmal lobby.

Misbah is the best player in the side.

[Red Devil]

Shot yaar

 

[Aloo Chaat]

Nice pull from Younis

 

[ekpakistani]

Or saffers want to chase a big score.. ABD wants to score fastest century today

[Ikball]

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.

What difference he would have made? Golden duck on cards

 

[Mr Consistent]

boundary by

 

[Shafi]

Misbah should learn from Dhoni how to keep scoring and put pressure against opposition. He does not have any understanding about game situation. He plays all game in same way just like robot.

 

[Logical]

De villiers couldn't stand this tuk tuk

 

[Bilsher007]

This is a better over...need 5/6 runs every over...YESSSSSSS bounary by younis... 11 runs off de villiers !

 

[Arsal_AK]

YK showing how its done.

 

[Pak_Jazba]

I dont want other players taking on the pressure due to Misbah playing slow.

 

[castortroy]

ABis bowling some absolute trash

 

[KingKhanWC]

Love you AB

 

[zabalestmsm]

Good to see Misbah has started to play shots!

 

[Saffer_XIII]

De Villiers trying his best to get Pakistan back on track for 300.

 

[Sam18696]

oh please relax akmal lobby.

Misbah is the best player in the side.

Please. This is inexcusable.

 

[akamaka]

thankyou AB, both captains trying to give other team momentum

 

[Idreamofcricket]

People who think Misbah is killing the momentum seriously have no clue about Cricket.

fifth bowler 5-54 (Duminy + ABD)

 

[sachin-10dulkar]

misbah can play spinners all day long

 

[Pete Rose]

Devilliers bailing out pakistan everytime.

 

[Saeed]

Run Rate back to 5+.

 

[Zeshan547]

Only if Misbah Can match YK's strike rate we will be fine.

 

[Bilsher007]

misbah don't waste morkel's over..milk him !

 

[TNA]

AB should stick to his main role.

 

[Gone]

Both captains with baffling tactics.

One is trying to help the other

 

[ekpakistani]

Commie says... .. charity from AB hahhaha

 

[Lajpaal]

Bumble - the best commentator every!:yshah1

 

[SchoolGirlCricketCaptain]

I fail to understand why Misbah is so despised in this forum. He has a sound cricketing acumen, plays very calculated cricket and is perhaps the most consistent of the Pakistan batsmen.

 

[imshally81]

Good Running

 

[zabalestmsm]

RSA made a blunder by going with 4 specialist bowlers!

 

[castortroy]

Anyone else worried about the size of these boundaries

AB could get the total himself

 

[Arsal_AK]

Misbah get a move on.

What is he doing.

agreed. somebody tell these imbicles the coming batsmen are walking wickets.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Good run from Younis. He can see that Misbah is struggling

 

[battler]

alright chaps where do we need to be at 30 overs?

About 160 with no further loss of wickets.
Tbh I would have send jr akmal ahead of misbah, misbah has a strike rotation problem which tends to suck the momentum of the innings.
Anyways your lot bat sensibly here 300 is really there for the taking.

 

[nads_rocks]

These 2 batsman are very experienced old timers, they know how to play out the middle overs. If they start risky runs, there could be another case of a run out, if they hit and get caught out, then 126-2 can easily turn into 150-5. We all know how Afridi bats. Umar Akmal gets a start but gets out and Maqsood is a big hitter and Saffers are amazing at fielding. So I think these 2 are doing well to play out the overs as long as run rate is 4-5 an over its fine.

 

[Anchorman]

De Villiers needs to realize that he can't bowl.

 

[fahadshah]

Pak should not throw away this good start

[GreenKnightRises]

We used to get scores around 220 only during '92.
I think misbah is trying emulate this strategy .

 

[iafzal]

YK is quietly playing a very decent innings. 35 of 39

 

[On_the_up]

Are SA taking Pak too lightly?

Those 400+ scores making them complacent?

 

[imshally81]

RSA made a blunder by going with 4 specialist bowlers!

and we don't .. Thanks to Selection Committe

 

[Bilsher007]

Misbah has to change his game here otherwise we will lose out on making big score.. must be positive and attacking.

 

[Mamoon]

Pretty ordinary batting so far.

 

[Scorpion]

Team man playing well

 

[Pantani]

Fair strategy to score 100+ off Duminy and de Villiers and just take it easy against the specialists. You can still easily get a good score that way.

 

[waleed88]

pakistan could be from 128-3 to 150-7 in a space of 2 overs if Misbah and Younis get out.

 

[Bilsher007]

Run rate up to 5.02... goood

 

[imshally81]

De Villiers needs to realize that he can't bowl.

After facing Irfan... he will realize that he can't bat too

 

[Scorpion]

Pretty ordinary batting so far.

Welcome

 

[ekpakistani]

Misbah six coming up

 

[Watsupdoc]

agreed. somebody tell these imbicles the coming batsmen are walking wickets.

Even then it doesn't mean that you just completely shut shop. Take singles at least. No one is asking him to hit boundaries.

 

[Bilsher007]

need a boundary

 

[coy0607]

pakistan could be from 128-3 to 150-7 in a space of 2 overs if Misbah and Younis get out.

so the solution is to have 16 off 35?? this is pathetic batting any way you look at it

 

[zabalestmsm]

Good to see the run rate back to 5!

 

[Aloo Chaat]

We need to be at 170 atleast at the end of 30 overs

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Runrate around 6 has been dropped down under 5.
Thank you Lord Misbah. Plays according to the situation. [emoji144][emoji144]

 

[nads_rocks]

Good to see some partnerships, something that has been missing in the Pakistan team.

 

[waleed88]

Even then it doesn't mean that you just completely shut shop. Take singles at least. No one is asking him to hit boundaries.

Morkel and Steyn are great bowlers. Just dont give them wickets away. I like this strategy.

They dont have enough pace bowlers. You can take apart Tahir and the part timers.

 

[Bilsher007]

need to score a big over

 

[Aloo Chaat]

With the start we've got we need to push for 350 at least. COME ON

 

[zabalestmsm]

300 must at least be the minimum target!
