23rd Match - Pakistan v Zimbabwe

[Daemon]

Pews to send chigumbura a get well soon card

Dad is saying misbah is responsible for pakistan digging a deeper hole and getting haris out.

Hooray for casual cricket fans.

being 2 (24) is not acceptable and undeniably puts pressure on the other end in ODI cricket.

I'm a Misbah fan but let's not swing the pendulum too far back just because the "intent" crowd has pushed it through to the 5th dimension.

I somehow feel he's so completely pissed off with his team for regularly falling apart meekly that he's gone **** it and decided to bat the 50 overs to make a point.

He did not get haris out. If haris can't cope with the pressure (of which there was hardly any) then it's on him.

 

[irfan]

Misbah to ton up folks - you heard it here first!

Yeah exactly. If it was a runchase then I'd agree with people saying it puts pressure on Harris. Not here though. Especially knowing how awful Zimbabwe are at the death.

Haris hadn't been rotating the strike either. He'd got completely bogged down himself then hit a long hop to short midwicket. It's not like he was blazing away or feeding the strike to Misbah only for Misbah to dead bat it; he was playing a **** innings himself.

Anyhow, we all know Lala's going to come out and slog his way to 80(40)

Yes I agree of course. But it's much easier to bat with less pressure and Haris isn't particularly experienced. He still is responsible for his dismissal, it's just that he might have found things a bit easier with McCullum or Warner at the other end.

 

[Antihippy]

Is rameez really going to blame misbah for not having his 50s be match-winners?

Really?

 

[African Monkey]

Think Misbah's done a good job personally.

Really?

Yeah I say it again and again, those 50/100 in wins/losses statistics are just the absolute worst. Correlation =/= Causation ffs.

 

[NUFAN]

Misbah is the new Imran.

Inspirational captain who bats slowly..

I mean he should look at the scorecard where misbah scored his 96 not out.

Nearly tragic, honestly.

 

[Primrose_D12]

Just tuned in, 105/3 more than halfway through their innings? Is the wicket that difficult or are they just batting poorly?

Yeah their batting is similar tbh. If I'm not wrong, Imran too had a bit of a reputation as a batsman who would either block or hit big sixes, with no proper gears in between.

Just giving you a heads up. You are now watching PAKISTAN vs Zimbabwe.

that's not even a question worth asking when pak are batting

That's not very accurate.
