GA, Misbah is a below average cricketer when it comes to Int'l tests and ODI.
His speciality is T20 and the reason can be found in Osman Samiuddin and Rashid Latif's articles. It requires a special mind set in T20 where nothing is impossible. Come on, we have all played this format in our teens, don't you remember. Where 50 runs in last 3 overs is a norm and straight sixes are like a trademark shot of this format.
Completely disagree.
Technically he's a fine player and was tipped for big things in his career. He just had the bad luck to be playing a series against a World Class bowling team as a senior batsman and was duly dropped.
He's such an intelligent cricketer and I think he has a good 5/6 years left in him and he definitely possesses the attributes to succeed at all levels
Misbah ul Haq has been the top performing batsman in domestic cricket for the last five years, has led Faislabad twice to the championship finals as captain and come out victorious. Only reason he wasnt getting a chance was the middle order heavy batting lineup in Pakistan with Inzi and Moyo around.
Dair aayee durast ayee, he is a true champion and deserves our respect for his single handed courage in tense situations.
Who cannot help but empathize with Misbah, sitting on the pitch after that shot? What an amazing performance by him to bring Pakistan that close. There really were no losers, Pakistan and India both played great. Misbah deserves no blame, he is a hero all the way.
