Re: Misbah-Ul-Haq Performance
Are you Indian?
I disagree with anyone supporting Misbah. The fact that Misbah could not rotate the strike and played dot balls put pressure on everyone else and batsman on the other side got out playing shots to get out of that pressure cooker. Misbah played a test match for the draw, very unlike of him. He is well capable of playing shots and he could have very well taken singles off balls he simply stopped. He played 42 dot balls, if he had taken 30 singles out of those, it was Pakistan’s game to win.
Overall, I support my team and proud on them to reach to the semi final. I think Afridi has matured as a captain despite his constant batting failures. He did make few mistakes yesterday such as not taking power play when he was on the wicket and I hope he would learn from these mistakes.
Pakistan need to take some positive measures now. Remove Kamran Akmal altogether from the International Cricket. Misbah and Younus should be restricted to play tests only, if they decide not to retire. Razzaq is over. Perhaps keep him for T20s only. We need a batting coach.
