Clearly misbah is also taking chances now and logically got more chances to score as he is in there for quite a time now.

Misbah out, nothing against a good debate, but this is exactly what I was referring to.
 
Still, good knock from Misbah. Allows Afridi and Umar to hit out at the end.

Come on boys, take us to 230-240!
 
Afridi in. Another bouncer ducked, expect a lot of short stuff in the next game.
 
Misbah is probably the only batsman in the world that when he gets out he helps his team more than when he stays at the crease.
 
well done misbah, despite what the naysayers say - anchored the innings once again, top scores by a long way at a strike rate not far off the highs so far - in and amongst the lowest quality top six batters in serious world cricket.

well done.

:facepalm:
 
i have every right to blame misbah for slow run rate today ..he is selfish ,he plays for himself and he is wasting our youngster ...
 
They should start accelerating at least at the 40 over mark. Last 5 overs, 28 runs.
 
Adding 75 runs to the total looks good enough but the SR of 66 and 112 balls consumed decreases the value.
Unfortunately we are stuck here, rest of the batsmen are not good enough to survive 112 balls and score faster than SR of 66.
 
Great innings by Misbah, again under immense pressure. Did very well in the last 10-15 overs.

Well supported by Harris. Imagine if there was no Misbah! Salutes.
 
Problem with Misbah's Era:

Historical Pakistan team take a lot of inspiration from the Captain. In Imran's Era players were at time performing better than their potential because of his positive and attacking approach... In Inzi's Era more than half of the team become Tebeligi, little bit more submissive, even though his Captainacy was defensive but batsmen where still some what attacking because of their style of play (that developed in flair era)...

Misbah's natural style is reflecting in the entire team. Jamshed has changed his game completely (after dropped from the side)... Umar Akmal gets dropped by playing one slog shot where as Hafeez can play 125 consecutive games without any substance and continuous failure...

Umar is the only batsman left who try to play positive stoke making, but Misbah is trying his best to make him a slogger, why not try to develop him a quality batsman by playing him at one down? Nobody in the world can do worse than Hafeez.

Today one a flat deck Misbah had 50 dot balls at 30 over mark, and all his boundary shots were slogs... Misbah is convinced that only way to play boundary shot is slogging, there is no other way... Now the whole team is thinking that way. They either play with soft hands or go for brut force.

Today it was pitty to see Harris Sohail bat, his foot work (specially when coming forward) and balance is better than Hafeez and Misbah. He is too scared of playing any shot...

How a batsman is going to be develop like that???

Misbah and Hafeez has taken Pakistani team, specially batting a step backward... Pakistan is not just loosing, but they are very boring to watch as well... PCB next worry would be how to find sponsors for such a boring loosers!!!
 
What if these 2 are also not able to score at 6 per over whose fault it will be ??
 
Afridi ***! 2nd most ODIs for Pak, playing for like 20 years now and still hasn't learn a THING!! Pathetic display of his attempted slogs
 
+=><[+*%^#{*%]^+*^%+%}%][+^{}%][^#% to afridi and all afridi die hard fans
