Pakistan Tour To Sri Lanka May-June 2012

[Aalay]

Suddenly, everybody is turning into a Misbah fan with 1 defeat. I thought I was the only person who liked him.

@sami,it was his 1st game as captain.does misbah play captain's knock in every game? no!

 

[sattar]

1 problem is what i think is most players are playing for themselves rather than for team.most new ones and i m saying from a year we cant always rely on bowlers to do miracle always.batting should be improve.in recent years we are winning from bowling so batting is the biggest problem need to be workout there

Its Indias fault we lost the game.

Really, cause had the DRS been employed Jayawardene would have gotten out early putting the pressure on the relatively inexperienced Sri Lankan lower order and they would have been exposed. Umar Gul would have been more confident and as we know Gul regularly alternates between good and bad games it would have turned out to be one of his good days and Sri Lanka would have been all out for 350. We would have come more confident. Dont even get me started on Younis's dismissal.

According to a report of Geo News 11 decisions were made against Pakistan in Galle Test

but misbah uses his bowlers better than hafeez.when salman butt's first game as captain.he played great and used his bowlers very greatly.got australia out before hundred.

 

[Addy]

For that I will credit the bowlers he got under him. Asif was a world Class bowler, so was Amir. There is no reason to credit Butt for that win.

he made 48 in the first innings .and asif and amir were in the first match in which shahid afridi was captain they did not do anything .but when salman used them by his captaincy.he applied his technique and won the match.and anyway this is an example.misbah ul haq also used the same saeed ajmal,abdur rehman,umar gul,the last year to win almost all test series and one draw.

We have to improve our fielding as an old saying "catches win matches" and not only catches but stoping the boundry by teamwork. Well if you talk about teamwork then I'll say we have to improve a lot.

----------

Salman butt was a exellent player+captain he should'nt have done this.

And if the fielding is not set as the bowler wants? Well all the tactics are told to the captain . Butt was a good fielder too.

well it was umpire's fault also .I think we were 11 in 1st test match and Sri Lanka was 13.

Misbah is a really great captain and a player too.

To be honest that team was unpredictable is and will remain unpredictable who was thinking after whitewash of test against england in dubai that they would whitewash us in odi so Mark my words this team does wonders when no one think of that but when favourite tag come up teams goes down and prime example is WC of T20 2009 we win in it when there were many contenders so to be honest this kind of loss arent anything new for us pakistani but Misbah record as test captain is fantastic PLayed 15 WIn 9 loss 1 draw 5

yes,you are right.This is not destroying Misbah ul haq's record.it is destroying Mohammad Hafeez's record as a captain.

You're right .That was what I was trying to say . Mohammad Ayub did'nt wanted any risk so he change his ming and because of that Adnan Akmal got run out.

----------

He did'nt wanted any risk because he was a debutant and wanted to score a century but failed like others are.

----------

There are many advantages of Misbah playing . [IN test matches]
1: He can defend the whole day if we are playing or a draw.
2: He can play captain innings.
3: He gives confidence to the player who is not playing well.[well thats Afridi]
There are many disadvantage of Misbah playing .[In odi and t20]
1: He takes to many time to settle .
2: He wastes to many balls.
3: He dose'nt play captain innings.

 

[Sulaiman7]

Inshallah we will successed in second test as soon as MIsbah plays.

 

[badvintage]

It looks like it's going to be raining first 3 days in Colombo

It won't matter if Pakistan bat the same way they did in the 1st Test.
