^^ Aray bhai…its not over analysis, its a very obvious observation that Mr. Misbah can be replaced and he is not the cure all that some people want to think of him to be.

He is definitely not ‘indispensable’, all we need is an alternative, going back to Younis is just reverse gear IMO.

And as far as Azhar’s stats, thank you to both you and Ehsan for picking one thing out of what I was trying to convey. I know its an old style here at KK to start an argument with some one. As far as I am concerned you just proved my point about Azhar. He started with a 41.3 avg. (your analysis is wrong) while in England and then never grew even after 3 years instead is steadily dropping in his SR. Thanks for proving that via the above data.

I hate to say it but you read the data wrong, the “unfiltered” data is his career summary while “filtered” data is for specific time so in England his average was 26.45 while in rest of the matches his average was 49.09 :D… I rest my case.

Now lets come to the real question, do you really believe Misbah can really groom a replacement? That’s the point I am trying to make and question I am posing to PCB. You can chose to take sides of this argument if you like, but the fact remains that Misbah is not suitable to groom the next test captain unless the next guy is also going to be the same style leader.

All Misbah has to groom is Hafeez, Gul and Saeed Ajmal as experienced player to “groom”, Hafeez was already touted as the next probable captain so I wouldn’t be surprised if one day Zaka wakes up and decides to make Hafeez as captain.
