Re: South Africa v Pakistan, 1st ODI, Bloemfontein, 10th March

Just realized that Misbah had won the toss and put SA to bat when Misbah was playing two pacers in the bowling line up. He is beyond in-competent to be a called a cricketer. Luckily for him he is Pakistani where fans and administration is not capable of understanding the simple things about the requirements of the game.

Here was his 2nd test match as captain when he won the toss and putt SA to bat on dust bowl of UAE " "Pitch looks like it has a bit of moisture, we are going in with three seamers. "…final result SA scored almost 600 runs in 1st inning 2nd Test: Pakistan v South Africa at Abu Dhabi, Nov 20-24, 2010 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

Here is what I said to that as soon I noticed that he put SA to bat.

@Nikema

Can someone explain why would you win a toss on flat wicket and put other team in…I bet THAT was surprise move by misbah that caught smith off guard

@Nikema

I am sick and tired of all the negativity displayed by several Pak captains/players on majority of times over last 8 years. I have even given up on idea that some pakistani captain is going to grow a pair and play the game the way we used to

Then after few more tests as captain when on media and forums the news was that since Misbah has became captain he has scored 4-5 test 50’s and thats when I realized that when he wins the toss he would do anything to make sure he doesnt get to bat on first day wicket of a test match no matter how flat the wicket is..no matter how weak is the opponent’s bowling attack for those conditions…Misbah will do EVERYTHING in his power secure his 50.

@Nikema

Unbelievable, Misbah won the toss and did not bat first…did they spot a single blade of grass on the wicket from some Space telescope which could have jeopardized Misbah’s 50 if was to come into bat on Day 1?

One example of Captain brave against mighty BD…when he BD to bat and they scored 338 in first inning

More like…Misbah Wins the toss on the batting friendliest conditions ever and decides to bowl against the mighty BD.

Formar chief selector keeps not giving chance to Talha against the mighty BD after leaving Pak saying this will ebe an opportunity for juniors…Meanwhile Aus and NZ and SA give opportunities to new bowlers and have potentially discovered guys that can lead their attacks for next 5 years whereas we keep wondering what is wrong Pak bowling and batting line ups every time we come against a good team or at good test match wicket.

Misbah hands down THE biggest hurdle in the way of developing a good batting line up for all conditions vs all teams #PortraitofSelfishness @3Bouncers
