I speak for a lot people when i say this, MISBAH Y ARE AWFUL AT STRIKE ROTATION!!!!!!!!
 
They should take PP early...I dont want to see misbah playing PP without afridi on the crease...

People may not have articulated the problem with Misbah, Let me give it a try:

Technique flaws:
Misbah's fundamental problem is that he does not have shots. If you look at his batting 90% of the time he blocks the ball, mostly right in the pitch or not more than 10-15 yards near the pitch. He does it intently since he does not have shots on the front of back foot. Like drives, nugh around the ball, pull and cut. He seldomly plays those shot. He also does not have the foot work to play those shots either. When you compare him with past main batsmen of Pakistan team (Inzi, Yousaf, Younis), they all have shots in their arsenal. Those were the exact reasons he was never selected ahead of Inzi, Yousaf, Younis in early part of his career.
His scoring shots are mostly slodge, he does block block or go bang bang... When he tries to play checky shots, mostly he gets out...

Spreading out Misbahism is a hugh strategic mistake
He is not a good role model for main batsmen in the team. You need an alround player to be main batsmen. Who can rotate the strike and has a foot work. Not having a foot work is a fundamental flaw... You cannot build a team around such a batsman.

Building team around past rejects
We are building team around past rejects (Misbah,Gul and Hafeez). They were into the team because we lost two great bowlers and PCB did not manage two great batsmen (Yousaf and Younis) the way they should have. Ideally Pakistan should have being building team around those four player (Younis, Yousaf, Amir and Asif) back in 2007/8 but we end where we are... without experience players its very difficult to built the batting line up, this is something PCB did not understand and let go Younis, Yousaf so easily, they rather bet on Afridi and Razzaq... There is no comparison between the skill and importance of Younis, Yousaf Vs Afridi, Razzaq...
Now Misbah is trying to create more Misbahs as batsmen... In the shadow of Inzi and Saeed Anwar we got Yousaf and Younis... What we are going to get in the shadow of Misbah is terrifying, we are already seeing the effects of that...

That is one of the stupidest things ever posted in the history of the web.... yup, its THAT stupid.

If I had to reply on all those points, it would take so long. But by your stupid logic, because Cook bats defensive, that means now E. Morgan and Kevin Piet for England have magically become defensive and loss their "aggression"?

The fact that our top order is the worst in the world has nothing to do with Misbah. He is the best batsman in Pakistan right now.

I do agree that Hafeez needs to get his ego in check. He needs to bat 5 or 6 down, he cannot play ANY swing at all. For him to be a top 3 batsman is a joke.
 
all pak batsmen need to to do on these type of tracks is make a respectable total and let ajmal and co takeover if they cant even do that then un ka allah he hafiz hai
 
:four 50 by afridi very well played .... looked good also.. now make it a hundred. :p nearly got three fours.
 
TBH our top order need to learn this is the way to attack and destory them otherwise they will kill you in your defensive shell...
 
They said projected score 196 on this RR...They don't know while afridi on crease you can predict things...
 
83 runs partnership... afridi scored 53 and misbah scored 17 and the rest were scored by west indies.

THIS TAKES The cake for MOST stupid comment? Explain the reason of Jaali professor being in the side. I would rather have Faisal Iqbal playing in any position over this tullaybaz.
Misbah is just a mediocre bat instilling fear/negativity in the other batsmen. Look at his batting against pace bowlers. He is jammed in all the time or hanging his bat out if boall is moving. He does play spinners well but he had his brainfart moments of reverse sweeps. He is no captain material
 
I noticed onething throughout Afridi career...He can hit 4 easily thn why the hack always go for sixes every ball...
