Why the hate for Saad Nasim? He hasn't been brilliant but nothing horrible either? Decent option to have in a squad. He needs to improve w/ the...
Record v Bangladesh was bound to end eventually (16 years is a long time). At least it's with a young team who should manage to improve InshaAllah
Yes, esp at home. It's oft fashionable to bash them after a loss but they're still ahead of Zimbabwe (competitive but lack finishing edge, also...
Mercenary Fine article. I always thought Azhar Ali deserves a role in team, I don't know about captaincy though considering he's not played for...
dashing_man ComradeVenom Yep, Tests is certainly a valid position. The 3-0 defeat in South Africa a blot but just about everybody in South...
Neither as talented nor as much a wastrel as people usually say. An above-average good batsman
^in short, Misbah neither a savior not a bane. Just a solid, steady captain who was not AS different from his peers as either his critics or fans...
dashing_man I like Misbah but this article is extremely hyperbolic 1) Misbah's technique isn't actually rock solid, like a lot of our batsmen he...
XYZ I had impression it was cos Misbah wrongly assumed Shafiq would translate his excellent Test results to shorter format.
Mercenary yep in the 2009 NZ series, the 2009 Melbourne Test and the start of the Sydney Test Yousuf had captained very attackingly, especially...
Mercenary other factor is that Misbah while overall a defensive captain (unrelated to his batsmanship) had actually set very aggressive fields...
ComradeVenom Lol exactly. Israel/India push every right button for their prejudices. Middle East's Only Democracy and World's Biggest Democracy,...
"RAW-backed insurgency" Why do people find it so unbelievable that RAW does what intelligence agencies worldwide do and backs insurgencies in...
Amla same as Behardien etc. Subcontinent. I dunno if it's Pakistan or India since pre Partition (but I think probably eastern India)
Arguable. I meant in terms of versatility etc. But anyway it's pretty close in Tests imho. In one-dayers, Waqar yorks Steyn
DONhill WHAT? There's no link b/w aggressive batsmanship and aggressive captaincy. Saeed Anwar was a terribly timid captain but a brilliant daring...
I would blame the General if he had much power, but Misbah didn't. As I said earlier, since Inzamam's retirement PCB has systematically tried to...
Sikandar Bakht the anchor strikes me as less smart/catchy than he thinks. And the rest of GEO is a joke anyway
Steyn is a brilliant Test bowler (better than Waqar), one-dayers Waqar beats him hands down. No disrespect to Steyn but he's not even the best...
Prince Pathan India/Pakistan either. South Asian South Africans have mostly lived there since before Partition so it could be from anywhere in...
iZeeshan Nope, a SC name. Arabs rarely have the Uddin names, desi Muslims often do. It's Farhan Baharuddin but cos of South Africa background,...
Donal Cozzie Afridi always a much better Test player than one day player imho. I think it's cos while Tests are stereotyped as slow, in Tests you...
Choi Saab I think South Africa's one day attack is slightly overrated. Morkel and Tahir are excellent consistently, Steyn & Philander are good if...
I want either South Africa or New Zealand to beat Australia in the final match
I remember Nathan Astle took a very similar catch v West Indies in 2005-06...to top it off he also hit a 100 incl 3 sixes off last 3 balls from...
Choi Saab Aaqib's a very decent coach imho, I've read lots of positive stuff about him from younger players. One or two failures don't define his...
1) Sheikh Hasina is an opportunistic politician and a scummy one at that. Her rhetoric doesn't count for that much. Its especially ironic cos...
Lots of chagrin about something not too important. People smile and laugh. It's a credit to Wahab Riaz/Misbah-ul-Haq that they cared so much to be...
Did anybody see this? <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Changing room very quiet. Only noise come from Waqar trying to tie rope to...
ComradeVenom its hilarious, one of funniest accounts
