@ravage

misbah bashers dont bash him because of his overall career average or strike rate

tau bhai recent form dekh letey hein, i.e. games in the past two years!!

doodh ka doodh aur pani ka pani ho jaye..

From another forum

I think people need to realise that this is **a team game **- not an individual sport!
When we won the T20 competition in 2009… what **really stood out **was that everyone contributed!
Misbah is not there to win matches on his own… that is not his style…
He makes **a vital contribution **that others can play around.
If you lose Misbah… it wouldnt matter if Afridi hits a quickfire 20-30… you’d still be miles away from the target!

Matches won (since April 2009) - Misbah averages an incredible 87.12 with the bat

50 times out of 74 innings, Misbah has been on the winning side

Then look at matches lost - Look at each of the scorecards and Misbah’s contributions in those games i.e. without him we would have suffered an even bigger defeat

Somehow I feel that the Pakistani public only sees the negatives of Misbah and positives of Afridi.
