Re: Misbah Ul Haq speaking and criticizing after the loss
Actually, Fawad to me is just a name with performance attached. I use his name and performance figures as comparison to show Tasub (prejudice and bigotry) in Pakistan and also Tasub (prejudice and bigotry mind) in those who read my post.
Those who have tasub (prejudices, biases and bigotry) in them, they could not see what I am pointing out, and feel upset. Then they try to justify Fawad exclusion from team making various ridiculous and hilarious comments and excuses. For instance, comparing him with lower batsmen and making him equal without quoting any figures for their assumptions. For instance Gujranwalay wrote:
No doubt Fawad SR is low compared to world standard, but to compare him with Pakistani lower level parachi batsmen like Shahzad and Hafeez is hilarious. You can compare batsmen with similar averages and SRs, but to make batsmen equal who have over 10 runs difference in their career averages, is preposterous.
Some would try to demean Fawad domestic performance as if Pakistani bowlers are below world standard and to make runs against them is no big deal. Even if that was the case (what it is not), still their prejudice mind do not let them think that if Fawad have such good domestic performance than why others who they think are better than Fawad and deserve a place in Pakistani team do not have comparable performance (for instance, Misbah or Younis)?
Some would try to hide behind batting technique, as if they are expert in technique assessment. But then a technique is good if it can produce result, else all techniques are bad. If Fawad is making runs than his technique is better than those who are not making runs, simple as that. Here are performance of most current batsmen. See and judge themselves:

One should also know that in 2014, Fawad played 8 ODIs, and in those 8 ODIs, his average was highest of all Pakistanis. It was 69.00 @ SR 77.35.
So, one can see that Fawad’s:
FC average is 10 to 15 runs better than most Pakistan lowly batsmen.
ODI average is at least 10 runs better than rest (except Misbah who is 2 runs behind)
SR is better than Misbah, Shahzad, Hafeez and similar to Younis Khan (though YK ave is ~14 runs less than Fawad).
