Re: Time to appreciate Misbah-ul-Haq
Waleed,you can not expect any batsman(whoever it is) to finish off the match for his team all the time.Remember Pakistan had lost 9 wickets in that match and Misbah had just tried an innocuous shot on that fateful delivery.Had there been no Misbah,Pakistan's losing margin would have been very high.
Do you remember the Chennai test in 1999 where we lost by just 9 Runs,despite the legend Tendular stood there as a wall ,scored a magnificent century,and took India almost to a victory?Yet he got out on a Saqlain’s delivery,while attempting to take an aerial route off his ball.The rest is history…
Despite Sachin playing a marathon innings,and doing all the hard work out there,on an ill-fated moment,Sachin attempted a a shot and it changed the course and the fate of the match.
