look like you'll be on time at your primary school tomorrow

[w8in_4_0402]

not so well timed. but i vote for UA for MOM.

[truthseer]

Umar looks a different player in this match, like the Umar of the debut tour

No doubt he came in a more tough situation, but I think Misbah needs to rotate strike better (im not basing my opinion just on this game)....

[asif9138]

good show by pakistan team

[aneeq7]

Can Misbah finish it off in a positive way? A maybe

Nothing compared to the Srilankan commentator saying Sri Lanka are looking to choke Pakistan and get the rate to 6 or 7 and over with around 40 rruns required in 15 overs :headdesk

[w8in_4_0402]

The coach can send a waterboy or another batsman with strict orders/instructions to the batsman out in the middle to quit being selfish, a coward and stop putting unnecessary pressure on the entire team. This doesnt need a time out, just needs common sense and proactiveness and last but not the least sincerity as oppossed to just selfishly watching over your own position/seat and giving a damn about the team.

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan require another 7 runs with 7 wickets and 57 balls remaining

[asif9138]

well played after 4444444

[asif9138]

misbah to hit 666666

Umar showing his talent here, amazing.

[w8in_4_0402]

[Justcrazy]

U.Akmal has played well

well put. That's exactly what Misbah is.

[pakistanalltheway]

Haha misbah out

[talha3]

I understand your views. Ideally he should. But at his age, he doesn't have the talent or eye to rotate strike better without risking his wicket.

He plays within himself and knows his game well. He's still a vital component in the team with these kind of innings.

Gone now Oh well.

[Inswinger]

What the hell was Misbah doing?

[asif9138]

misbah run out

[Inswinger]

There was never a single there

[Square Drive]

LOL Misbah.

[Justcrazy]

[Badsha]

mix up.

[DeadlyVenom]

Impressive dive.

[w8in_4_0402]

Innings could have improved his Average immensley but couldnt last till the end!

And Afridi in to finish it with a 6!

Anyway, a very important innings played by Misbah today.
