dropping misbah

[Oli Norwell]

Didn't CricInfo do a feature on Misbah's lack of form? I remember reading it a few weeks back. They linked it to another part of the teams performance. Not that it excuse really bad form, but you kinda understood what was happening.

Yeah they did: The curious case of Misbah-ul-Haq | Regulars | Cricinfo Magazine | Cricinfo.com

Pretty interesting really.

Wow, good rearguard, Misbah fell on 284, his highest first class score. Talk about showing the selectors what you're made of.

 

[Aoun13]

I think it is a good decision as lots of player are waiting for their seats so will be a good contest in the middle order now.
Misbah is a fighter he will surely try to comeback into the side.

Not necessarily

Oh how could I forget the effigy burning?!? Woe is me!

Selectors are crazy men.

THEY SHOULD RECEIVE AN ELECTRIC SHOCK

If you're referring to the selectors being crazy for dropping Misbah, then I'd have to disagree. He was obviously horribly out of form and continuing to have him in the side would weaken the team. But his recent innings (284* I believe) has surely made the selectors keep an eye on him. So there's hope yet...

I Havent said the selctor are crazy that they dropped misbah but they selected yasir arafat for test i mean he is agood t20 player but you canttake himto thelongest version of the game there are lots of young and old players are knocking the door like asim kamal ,ahmed shehzad,shahid yousuf and many others but they selected him

 

[ksduded]

if you have an umar akmal waiting in the wings.... you sure need to be at the top of the game.... with Shoaib, Yonis, MoYo in the middle order... its either Umar Akmal or Misbah.... its quite evident who should be in the team.

misbah was given chance i remember but tht time too he was like 24 or 25 so still not a prime age.
he atleast should be kept in test squad

I still remember that when misbah was given change he just played only few games(3 or 4) and he scored a 40 odd score in one game but he was dropped so if you treat a player like this then he will be demolished

Look india they have many middle order players but they are giving chance to virat kohli.But in pakistan if you not perform in 2 or 3 games you will be sent home.and it is very dissipointing for a young player(i am also talking about young misbah)

Ha. Those are just dudes who want their 15 minutes of fame. Idiotic attention seekers who know that they'll get a free pass to being aired on every news channel in India and many across the world. Similar to streakers in other parts of the planet, I guess.

He is good batsman no doubt, hopefully he will get chance soon...

Streaking and burning an effigy are two completly different things. One is done out of jest and one out of rage.
