Which Chappel? Literally never heard him do that. It's always how the Captain (almost always a non Australian) is totally ****, negative, defensive, conservative, reactive and how he should have done this and should have done that.
Ian. And yeah you're right. With him it's never "What's the captain doing here", it's always "What would I do if I was captain here", which is far less interesting and relevant to the match than the former.
Exactly. And that's what I was saying. Bazir and Bishop here were actually analysing Misbah's fielding and telling us what Misbah is trying to achieve and what the strategy is. No criticism. Just educating an audience on the finer points of the game which is the job of a commentator.
On a marginal call, the 3rd umpire should make his own decision, whatever it is.
Its a really tough one. He hasn't been awful whatsoever in test cricket and he has been pushed around the batting order. Ideally I'd have him at 6 and Shafiq at 3 but Asad and Arthur not keen on that. Not sure you can drop him after this test though with Younis and Misbah gone, I'd probably give him another series and then reconsider .
