If Misbah did what was expected of him that is one good match, then why was he in the team? Shoaib Malik would have been a better choice.

I am really disappointed from Younis Misbah and Razzaq :(

Re: Performance in WC 2011

I agree Shoaib Malik would've brought more stability to the middle order and he always played well against India. Two batsmen who really need to step it up to become our future middle order are Asad Shafiq and Umar Akmal. I'm pretty confident Shafiq will make it but I have my doubts about Akmal. He needs to get his head in the right place and concentrate on his batting and not his brother. He will require a lot of coaching but he's got time on his side so I'm ready to give him the benefit of doubt. We need to start forging a new middle order as of now, why can't our team get a good batting coach in?
