West Indies v Pakistan | 1st ODI | Gros Islet | 23/04/11 | Pakistan Innings

[Bilsher007]

Misbah nearly OUT with that catch to first slip which did'nt carry enough. Misbah already wasting balls in this bishoo over, WHAT A RUBBISH BATSMAN IN ODIs. Misbah's presence is depressing, this is why we desparately need batting consultant/ coach immediately. Shafiq is also now wasting balls in this over of roach.

 

[sam]

Another failure from Shehzad

He played okay today. No rash strokes and quite a controlled innings, at least by his standards.

Was done in by a good delivery from Bishoo.

My friends on facebook are always telling me I should become a commentator or a pundit hehe. Even a coach / manager

hahahahaha same is the case with me!

Misbah at the striker's end. What will this be?

Dot
Block
Run?

 

[NJamal]

99/2 after 20 overs

 

[sam]

99/2 off 20.

Somebody keep that a secret. Misbah may want to make it 100/2 after 25.

Epic.

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Because Umer is our best batsman he should come one down, thus giving him time to settle in and end up making a big score.....Then again that is my opinion.......

97-2 19 ovs

Umar Akmal should be our No 4.

 

[nads_rocks]

Misbah is getting angry

How dare Asad make a single!

 

[JibranAnsari]

current partnership 20 balls 14 tuktuks

 

[CrickFan]

Why blame Misbah ...it is the selectors who should be blamed for selecting this guy who is well past his shelf life date

 

[sam]

Misbah takes a couple of the first ball and compensates with a block off the next. And a dot after that one.

 

[forza_rossi]

Uncle ji cant take singles or doubles. Whats the point of him in an ODI middle order?

 

[Bilsher007]

What is waqar younis doing as head coach to advise batsmen regards regular rotation with importance of singles ?

 

[cricfan4ever]

after being 63/0 in 10, we end up 99/2 in 20...just goes to show how badly incompetent we are at rotating strike...score should've easily been in excess of 115 right now!

 

[Looney]

Last 5 overs our tuk tuk rate has been 3.80

needs to be 4.10

 

[NJamal]

100 up for Pakistan

 

[JibranAnsari]

He played okay today. No rash strokes and quite a controlled innings, at least by his standards.

not really , 4 boundaries in 22 and yet played 39 balls. Doesnt know how to rotate the strike.

 

[amirfanforlife]

Misbah takes another 2, 6 runs from the over.
105/2

 

[RAZZAQ-FAN]

I swear Misbah premeditates a defensive shot every ball

 

[NJamal]

105/2 after 21 overs

 

[nads_rocks]

Distributing pop-corn to keep the crowd awake...

 

[amirfanforlife]

I want some popcorn.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Strike rate above 70

 

[sam]

I swear Misbah premeditates a defensive shot every ball

Of course he does. That's always his plan. Irrespective of the situation and the opponent.

Wonder whats at the bottom of those packs...

 

[Khan6575]

There is no purpose in Misbah's batting, he is just not a ODI player, instead of blaming him I would blame the selectors for putting him in situations where the only result for Misbah is failure. Get this guy out of the ODI team NOW! Its painful watching him TUK TUK TUK TUK..............................................................

 

[nads_rocks]

No single taken on a wide Hmmm...

 

[sam]

Bored Roach bowls a wide to Misbah.

 

[NJamal]

Big wide by Roach

 

[nads_rocks]

Bacho. So jao so jao warna Misbah Chacha Aa jayega!

 

[cricfan4ever]

Shafiq going into Misbah mode

 

[sam]

There is no purpose in Misbah's batting, he is just not a ODI player, instead of blaming him I would blame the selectors for putting him in situations where the only result for Misbah is failure. Get this guy out of the ODI team NOW!

He's the test captain which effectively means free spot in ODIs and T20s.

Misbah should do the honourable thing and retire from the shorter formats.

 

[Looney]

there is no point blocking balls

He is a good ODI player.... just needs to rotate strike more.

 

[nads_rocks]

Misbah having words with Asad Shafiq after hitting that 4.

He is saying look there is no need for boundaries!!!

 

[sam]

Bacho. So jao so jao warna Misbah Chacha Aa jayega!

More like, Misbah chacha batting kar kar ke maardega.

 

[pakcricketfan]

Oh ho.. this tuking is contagious.

 

[sam]

Misbah takes a quick single.

pakistan gain psychological advantage.

 

[nads_rocks]

Afridi seems to have gone to sleep watchng Misbah play...

 

[Strike!]

Ramiz still bitter about that semi loss, Don't worry ramiz. We share your pain.

 

[amirfanforlife]

and it goes for :4

lolz.

 

[Looney]

having a real go at

* misbah takes a single finally *

thats more like it -

Afridi looking at the ground hoping it'd split and take in Misbah.

 

[NJamal]

118/2 after 22 overs

 

[KingKhanWC]

Luck going Asad's way.

Windies need a wicket asap.

 

[cricfan4ever]

Shafiq responds with 2 4's )

 

[tauseefm]

Damn its boring. I am switching to NHL(Washington vs NY rangers). Its more exciting then washing Misbah bating

 

[sam]

When people run out of sleeping pills, they watch Misbah bat

 

[Khan6575]

He is a good ODI player.... just needs to rotate strike more.

Which he is unable to do on consistent basis, therefore his batting style is not suited for ODI's, you can't just hit a four and block 10 balls than take a single and continue in the same fashion until the 45/46 over.

 

[JibranAnsari]

oner very good interview

[RAZZAQ-FAN]

Comms discussing Misbah's innings in the WC semi-final.

Ahrrggh what a bad innings that was... :'(

 

[attock]

I would rather have yousuf than tuk tuk master, atleast he rotates the strike

 

[forza_rossi]

Misbah with a 6 !! SAXXXXXXXXXX

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Misbah is good....

just needs to rotate strike more...

 

[KingKhanWC]

Misbah possesed by something, six.

 

[pakcricketfan]

Whatta slap from Misbah

 

[Looney]

misbah sathya gaya hai

 

[khankhan]

Misbah special!!
tuk tuk tuk tuk SIXXX Single

 

[cricfan4ever]

) @ EDIT...hits a 6!!!

where was this intent in SEMI-FINAL?????????

 

[JibranAnsari]

whats the purpose of blocking four and hitting the fifth to boundary. useless

 

[attock]

did Misbah actually hit a 6, now thats a surprise

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Which he is unable to do on consistent basis, therefore his batting style is not suited for ODI's, you can't just hit a four and block 10 balls than take a single and continue in the same fashion until the 45/46 over.

You need a team of batsmen with different skills...

He is one of the few batsmen with a brain....

He can definitely rotate the strike more...

 

[Looney]

Holding discussing books and computers

 

[forza_rossi]

Holding is discussing technology in general. Guy's got a point still.

 

[sam]

96 needed of 26.3

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Ramiz has been reading from a Kendle.

 

[nads_rocks]

Misbah is capable of hitting big but he just leaves it till very late when there is no hope left and in a losing cause to up his SR and get to his 50 which is always what he aims for and if it means eating up 20 overs or 25 then be it. This is why he is trash in Limited Overs.

He is a Test player which is why he is solid and is hard to get out and is good at occupying the crease.
