We screwed up the game big time
Misbah shouldn't have come when he came. Hammad Azam or Umar Akmal or even Afridi should have batted up the order and finished the job WAY before and we wouldn't have been in this mess.

Misbah should retire from ODI and T20
Re: 3nd T20I: England v Pakistan at Dubai (DSC) Mon, Feb 27, 2012
Q: When was the last time Misbah played for Pakistan's win in T20?
**
A:** Don't know. They did not have Calender at that time.

Were they ranked higher?
Re: 3nd T20I: England v Pakistan at Dubai (DSC) Mon, Feb 27, 2012

Batting wasn't that easy. But yes, Pakistan should have won this game.
Re: 3nd T20I: England v Pakistan at Dubai (DSC) Mon, Feb 27, 2012
Lots of things went wrong IMO. First he should 've gone with spinner when Gul was being spanked, why was Shoaib Malik there? Or could've tried Hammad Azam (he is an all rounder). Then in batting he should've let Hammad Azam and Umar Akmal play before himself. Then nobody could play straight balls.

We have a Chetan Sharma of our own. Thanks to Cheema Sharma..last ball six was the difference.
Like GoldenAsif mentioned before, we are still stuck in the 80s style of chase yet we don't have finishers like Miandad or Moin Khan
Misbah should own this loss.

Re: 3nd T20I: England v Pakistan at Dubai (DSC) Mon, Feb 27, 2012

Re: 3nd T20I: England v Pakistan at Dubai (DSC) Mon, Feb 27, 2012
Umar Akmal should be sent to Domestic once again
Bhut hogyi
Time for Hafeez to go back too
Re: 3nd T20I: England v Pakistan at Dubai (DSC) Mon, Feb 27, 2012
The biggest problem our batsmen have is not knowing how to pace their innings. The habit of keeping wickets in hand and trying to slog at end has come back to slap them in the face and not for the first time. **Pakistan never seem to understand the concept of trying to get slightly ahead of the rate early on. **Their approach is the same whether they are chasing a modest or big total!!! ... quite old-fashioned really
A very badly paced innings, two stupid run outs, wrong batting order and clueless batting from Umar and Misbah! Why take the game to the death and leave things till the last few overs when the target is not particularly big? why not try and finish it earlier.

slip back to 7th ranking, that is..
Re: 3nd T20I: England v Pakistan at Dubai (DSC) Mon, Feb 27, 2012
They could have at least attempted to finish it earlier, why on Earth didn’t they considering they had all those wickets in hand
