Isnt Asad Ali 24? I'm still shocked that Junaid is dropped.

No I was asking who you were criticising already. Junaid should be in the team, but Asad has done nothing wrong. He has a lot to learn.

By the way it is not Asad's fault that Junaid was dropped.

Asad Ali's line was poor earlier on. For someone that bowls at his speed he doesnt get much swing.

Mazher Arshad weighs in with the numbers, as always: "Misbah has 600 ODI runs this year - the second most by any batsman, only behind Ian Bell (645 ). He has three 50s in last four innings. He always rescues the innings when Pakistan are collapsing, still people talk about his removal. In last five innings when he came to bat Pakistan's scores were: 18-2 vs West Indies, 56-3 vs India, 48-3 vs South Africa, 15-3 vs WI, 13-3 vs Ireland."

Best Pakistani skipper since Imran Khan!

easily KING Misbah

think pak cant bat later on it looks sunny now
might not be that much swing

There is no swing now but the wicket is 2 paced and has spin. Still reckon we might rue not batting first with our chasing record.

Boom boom.... Boom lala boom

great decision by Misbah to put West Indies in

4 maidens on the bounce. WTF

5 maidens. I give up.

lol what the hell they playing at lmao at last 4

This is an absolute disgrace!!! It really is

Misblock effect this!

Jamshed started as a free flowing Saeed Anwar type and now he has become the next Farhat.

IT'S NOT MISBAH'S FAULT- HE'S THE ONLY ONE THAT SCORES THE RUNS, YET YOU STILL BLAME HIM!- Just because others are fackin inept kaants, does not mean he is to blame. This problem has stemed for years- Way before Misbah came.

Whatever it is, it's tedious. Sack the lot I say. Misbah has to take his share of the blame, hd needs to lead from the front

If Misbah is making a career with a strike rate in 50 in some games it's only going to rub off on the young players.

Jamshed should have been out for a 21 ball duck. That is just pathetic. Someone is killing this talent.

Here comes Ricky Ponting

"In last five innings when Misbah came to bat Pakistan's scores were: 18-2 vs West Indies, 56-3 vs India, 48-3 vs South Africa, 15-3 vs WI, 13-3 vs Ireland."

Of the above what do you not understand? In RSA he upped his game by playing quicker, yet the batting was inept. We all saw what happened in the CT, practically a lone hand from him and guess what he play positively!!!- Misbah said before the RSA tour that the only reason he plays in such a containing manner is because he feels he needs to take responsibility. But he said he will up his game for the RSA tour and he did.

What do people want? Misbah sacked? Who will lead the line then? Lets make Hafeez captain!- On a consistent basis if it was not for Misbah- Pakistan would get bowled out for less than 100 for the majority of their time. Yet when experienced batsman at number 3 whether it's Kamran or Hafeez or Farhat opening play slow it is Misbah's fault. When Misbah scores it is his fault. When he doesn't it is still his fault.

Amir, you're right that he occupies the crease when needed most and can protect his wicket. But in doing so he forgets the purposes of the game - score runs, as many as you can in a limited overs game. That's the problem. He's slow. Puts pressure on others. Goes into his shell effects the rest and its result is we crumble

Hafeez what a joke of a batsman.

Let's Misbah does not block 20 overs now. Rotate!!

You can argue that point if A) We are winning or an in a comfortable position. I don't remember that last time when he came into bat we were in that position. So who is he putting pressure on when he comes into a pressure situation already? That's like lighting fire with fire!

As for Hafeez he fack off for all I care. Drop somewhere you waste. I rather Azhar Ali bat at 3 how many times do I have to say. We don't need Hafeez anymore. If not Hafeez at 3. Babar Azam. Played in the last two U-19 WC's and performed very well. And has performed well when called up for Pakistan A.

Azhar Ali at 3 and Misbah at 4
