The difference between Misbah and other batsmen is that Misbah bats with utmost responsibility...

I believe that we did not lose this match but Steyn won it for SA. That over was the turning point. It was a great chase. Maybe Sohaib's wicket came at the wrong time but this was a good effort by batters.

If anyone is to be blamed, its Hafeez. Ran Shahzad out needlessly and left immediately after him. Professor ki professri kuch farigh ho gayi hai.

Finally we have a great talent in Sohaib Maqsood. Reminded me of how Umar Akmal came onto scene. Fearless, convincing & assured. Hope sohaib does not throw it like Umar almost has.

The last 5 batsmen could only make just 10 runs...and the kali billi + Najam Sethi the culprits...hmmmmmmmmmmmm

hahahaaha...make sure these two are locked up for the entire period the match will be played in Sharjah! :)

Re: 4th ODI: Pakistan v South Africa at Abu Dhabi Nov 8, 2013 (15:00 local | 11:00 GM

So what you are saying is, it is solely Misbah's duty to win matches for Pakistan? Why do we then play 7 genuine batsman? That is a messed up logic you have.

As expected Pakistan could not chase 266 which was again not a huge total going by today's standards. It was a decent target at best

Most sides would have won from 180/4 but not Pakistan. This is the most naalaiq batting line-up that I can remember for a long time. Apart from talent and quality, players lack patience (most of our batsmen are prone to brain fades), confidence and self-belief that they can actually win. Sohaib batted well on debut but after doing all the hard work he then threw it away. He played one shot too many when the need was to see off Steyn's middle overs.

And I do not think that RSA is such a strong batting side in ODIs. India and Australia clearly have the strongest batting and both are big contenders in 2015 world cup.

Shafiq has no place in our ODI team. He is solid but he has a very restricted range of shots plus struggles to rotate the strike. Both he and Azhar should only play tests

Bangladesh batting line up with our bowling attack could have beaten South Africa 5-0 - Shoaib Akhtar

he sounds like a disgruntled cricketer and who has personal vendetta against MisbaaH and Hafeez. i wasn’t impressed by his lamentations.

Re: 4th ODI: Pakistan v South Africa at Abu Dhabi Nov 8, 2013 (15:00 local | 11:00 GM

He's just fed up with the old-fashioned defensive mindset of our batsmen.

Re: 4th ODI: Pakistan v South Africa at Abu Dhabi Nov 8, 2013 (15:00 local | 11:00 GM

Something Misbah brought into the team IMO. They have hard time scoring at more than 3 runs an over.
