Okay great. Thank you for getting your point across. Now, if you haven't realized Misbah has retired from ODI cricket so you need to stop talking about him in every single post of yours because you come off as a troll.

Bro, I've posted over 70 posts in this thread in only 3 or so on Misbah?

Malik.............. :AAG

 

[Markhor]

Short and wide gets the treatment.

 

[uberkoen]

Malik killing it.

 

[Asif321]

so was misbah blocking malik ?

 

[uberkoen]

so was misbah blocking malik ?

Or maybe Malik was just out of form and not doing enough to get back in the team?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Very good partnership.

 

[Anchorman]

This is sheer class from Malik. Single-handedly changing the momentum of the innings.

 

[m.shah]

15 overs to go.. 280 looks achievable now

 

[Square Drive]

Malik!!! Fantastic!

 

[#GreenRoars]

by Shoaib Malik. Superb shot yar

 

[Bullet Drive]

World class ODI batsman.

Shoaib Malik... many on PP must be crying rn

 

[angrypathan]

malik on fire :AAG

 

[Anchorman]

Malik, you beauty!

 

[BleedGreen]

 

[MMHS]

Sri Lankans are bowling too short for the surface. This is a bit faster & bouncier track, need to pitch a bit up.

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[uberkoen]

Down the pitch.

Wonderful foot work

 

[#GreenRoars]

by Malik and 50

 

[angrypathan]

more :AAG

 

[Pakcricket89]

Malik being served pies

 

[Bullet Drive]

Back to back 50's for the champion.

Once again I hope [MENTION=1080]miandadrules[/MENTION] [MENTION=134250]wasimjunior[/MENTION] are okay. I am really concerned for them now.

#winner

 

[BleedGreen]

Another malik reaches fifty!

 

[Neferpitou]

Malik opening up the floodgates.

 

[walashi]

Shoaib Malik you beauty!!!

 

[Anchorman]

Malik looking a class apart.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Malik!

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Malik you Beauti!!!

 

[akamaka]

Malik has been a man possessed every since his come back. Looks like the absence of Misbah and Afridi has given him some breathing space.

 

[uberkoen]

Beautiful cut shot from Malik for two.

I hope Malik continues playing like this against other oppositions as well and its not just a case of poor Sri Lankan bowling being taken advantage of.

 

[BleedGreen]

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

If you can well in middle overs, you can recover from even 120 in 30 overs to post 250-270.

Pitch has nothing MMHS, nothing for seamers, nothing for spinners

 

[Bullet Drive]

Malik has come in and single handedly changed the whole complexion of the game.

Please guys I'm not hating but please tell me seriously would Misbah play like this in the same situation Malik walked in?

That's why averages are so deceiving. Misbah averages 43. Malik 33. But Malik clearly is the WAY WAY better ODI batsman.

 

[uberkoen]

50 for Malik.

 

[walashi]

Runrate now almost 5

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Malik on fire.

Good to see.

 

[Logical]

Man hasn't Malik given us a reason to smile. Great comeback.

Afridi is fine. Misbah was the issue.

LOL. Just 3 posts then?

 

[Markhor]

What a way to bring up your fifty, superb stuff from Malik and a great over for Pakistan. Need Malik now to stay out there for as long as possible.

 

[Bullet Drive]

49 from last 5 overs. #champ

 

[uberkoen]

Afridi is fine. Misbah was the issue.

Is it still 3 posts?

 

[Bullet Drive]

LOL. Just 3 posts then?

Since you are so concerned, you can count!

I am not speaking about some sort of jinn, Misbah is a Pakistan player. Is it illegal to speak about him?

 

[Theo_14]

Malik has been unreal.

 

[Yatoo]

Babar has disappointed today.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Malik has defo made me like him now

 

[BleedGreen]

Sarfaraz in the inverter ad.. kabhi dhoka nai dega )

 

[m.shah]

Good partnership this

 

[daytrader]

2nd fifty for Malik in the series. Reached both with a 6!

 

[Square Drive]

Must say Malik is looking world-class here.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rain again.....

 

[ExplicitAI]

Matthews and Pathirana have been the best bowlers for SL today

 

[angrypathan]

bowled

 

[BleedGreen]

Malik good 50 though

 

[Madplayer]

Malik gone but that was one heck of a delivery

 

[#GreenRoars]

Malik gone. Beauty by Mathews

 

[Pete Rose]

Super delivery. Set him up with the short delivery.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Superb delivery!!!!!!!! Massive wicket...... worst time to lose wicket but quality knock. Time for Rizwan.... Well played Malik!! But he should have gone on.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Castled!

 

[Stallion__]

Nothing shot.

Loss of concentration.

Played well though.

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Unplayable delivery. . .

 

[BleedGreen]

The RR is back up so please keep the momentum going... send Sarfaraz

 

[Theo_14]

Malik out to a unplayable delivery. Well played though.

 

[Neferpitou]

Malik beaten by an offcutter. Great innings though. Time for Rizwan, Sarfy and Anwar to take us to 280 inshaAllah.

 

[uberkoen]

What a delivery. That was brilliant. Loved it!

 

[habibi hayya]

What's a good score on this pitch? 275?

 

[ExplicitAI]

regardless it has been a good innings from Malik

 

[Bullet Drive]

That shoulda been a ton for Malik.

 

[Square Drive]

Bowled!

Time for Rizwan.

 

[Madplayer]

Pakistani AB in.

 

[Asif321]

malik showed his true color

 

[Markhor]

Bad time to get out, needed Malik to stay out there for a while longer but cracking delivery.

Rizwan the new man in.

 

[Ahson8]

Wrong time to get out. Should send in Sarfraz IMO.

 

[Yatoo]

Malik did his Job. We need Rizwan and Sir to play well here.

 

[angrypathan]

What's a good score on this pitch? 275?

Anything above 260 is a good score, 280ish would be great

That's why averages are so deceiving. Misbah averages 43. Malik 33. But Malik clearly is the WAY WAY better ODI batsman.

Of course this kind of batting is great (genuinely great) IF Malik can replicate it everywhere and where it matters a lot more.

In WCs and Champion's Trophy, he averages 26 with SR of 71.

Misbah averages 50 with 73 SR for the same set.

Plus Malik averages in the 20s against Aus, England and NZ.

 

[uberkoen]

That shoulda been a ton for Malik.

but somehow he wasn't able to score it because of Misbah?

 

[Pete Rose]

Matthews can do everything but captain.
