If misbah wins the toss again what should he choose, bat first or bowl first?
a lot of viewers especially Indians are trying to demean the team with argument that pak win because of bat first.
Should misbah choose to bowl first if he wins the toss again?
Re: Second test toss
^ sounds a bit true because Pakistan is known to buckle under pressure. playing first removes that pressure and in ALL the 3 games that Pakistan won with a huge margin, they performed well.
i think MisbaaH will definitely play first which will definitely give him an edge and a chance to score big under NO pressure.

i think so. and criticizers of misbah will still criticize him(using other excuses) even if he win by bowling first.

But what happens to the capability of other teams while playing against pakistan to chase the target set by pakistan. If pakisan are not good at chasing target then all the other teams are poor in chasing target while playing against a pure bowling attack (Pakistan).
Re: Second test toss
Misbah should conduct a poll, and decide per.the wishes of the polled.
Re: Second test toss
The team should play to its strength considering the pitch conditions, bowling/batting strengths, not to think of what people will think/say... this is not anyone's mama/chacha shaadi where we have to worry about "what will people say".
Re: Second test toss
of the nine games in UAE where Pakistan batted second they won 4 and drew 5. So no worries.
Re: Second test toss
There's no reason to change the winning formula. You don't want to bat 4th on the last day, on a possibly crumbling pitch. That's probably one of the reasons Misbah hasn't enforced the follow-on in the last two Tests.
Re: Second test toss
If he wins the toss again, he should do a toss to decide if he should bat first or bowl

People often grudge others what they cannot enjoy themselves so for those people I can only say "O Bhai Mahnat Kar Hasad Nah Kar" :)
