leadership abilities? are you kidding me? he stands at one end watching his team lose the match. This happens one match after the other. Never learns. And as i see it from your statistics, it took 17 test for Waqar to win 10 tests while Misbah took 22 tests...

The guy has no brain! He lacks aggressiveness to win!

OK. But imagine Misbah's current lot playing the series against West Indies in 1986, 1988 and 1990. Similarly against Australia in 1990. Do you think the results would be the same as under Imran's captaincy?

After Kardar Misbah is the best captain Pakistan has witnessed so for. Although Pakistan has won the world cup under the captaincy of Imran Khan but Imran lacked the quality and guts which are generally associated with a successful captain. Misbah has proved this quality consistently since he assumed the responsibility of captainship. I think the issue of captain of Pakistan team should be left to Misbah only.

You missed Saleem Malik. 12 Tests, 7 wins, 3 lost, 2 draws. He won 4 out of 5 series he played. Only series he lost was a single test match against South Africa in Johannesburg.

The statistics always misguide and numbers and figures could be easily twisted and altered to make the beholder's end meet. This is exactly what the author is fruitlessly trying to do in this case. Almost all statisticians and accountants play with numbers and the author is no exception to it. He has played very cleverly with numbers in order to unnecessarily prove that Misbah-ul-Haq is better captain than the great Imran Khan in test cricket. How can the writer compare Misbah-ul-Haq with as cricket legend like Imran Khan? It is highly mind boggling, misleading, unwarranted, naive, uncalled for and unacceptable to say the least and compare both of them in any way especially as captains. At the same time, how could the author compare the performance of the king Khan with Misbah-ul-Haq when Misbah has only captained his national side in 22 test matches versus 48 tests of the great Khan? In fact, it is tantamount to comparing apples with elephants on the pretext that both have round shaped bodies. All neutral, independent and third party cricket academics, experts, professionals, writers, readers, fans, players, umpires, organizers, sponsors, administrators, commentators, advertisers and others will definitely doubt the intentions of anybody including the author, who strive hard to compare the charismatic cricket captains like Imran Khan with timid, passive, defensive and to some extent coward team leaders like Misbah-ul-Haq. In conclusion, both Imran Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq can't be compared as captains especially on the basis of their on-the-field performance directly or indirectly, implicitly or explicitly, knowingly or unknowingly. Period.

Misbah on his own, is a warrior who is weathering the storm single handedly. He is the lone reason why a talentless team like the current Pakistan side is still performing well. Pakistan cricket is in terrible need of some talented batsmen, but some how Misbah is managing this side and getting goodish results. This guy deserves respect!

All statistics are vulnerable and have a tendency to misguide. Similarly, numbers and figures could be easily twisted and altered to make the beholder's end meet.

How can the writer of the article compare Misbah-ul-Haq with a cricket legend like Imran Khan? Comparing both of them in any way especially as captains in test or any form of cricket is is highly mind boggling, misleading, unwarranted, naive, uncalled for and unacceptable to say the least.

Imran Khan was inspirational to all cricketers in Pakistan, where as nobody wants to be like Misbah. Imran plays to win and never afraid of loosing, where as Misbah defensive captain. Misbah cant win any test with his performance where as Imran use to win matches with his own performance. Misbah is pathethic boring and another version of Inzi. Where as Imran was loved all over the world. Misbah should feel lucky that Younis Khan performance made him win 1st test against Zimbabwe otherwise Misbah could have lost both tests.

Misbah had the honor to lead one of weakest batting line up in Pakistan cricket while other Captains had Saeed Anwar,Javed Miandad,Zaheer Abbas,Imran Khan.Its not fair to compare those teams with current team when most players have hardly played on their home ground.Number of yester year greats were master on there home grounds especially.

Of course, Imran and the others never got to pad their stats against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh.

Imran backed talented players like wasim,waqar,inzi,s anwar and many more. He wasn't afraid of any talent. He nourished talent. Misbah will always try to go with mediocre players so his place can remain untouched. He is afraid of talented players. If good players will come in, he will definitely be kicked out. He is a selfish man. Instead of building a good team, he and other seniors are just trying to extend their own carriers. Deserving and talented players are not getting regular chance instead mediocre players which can never challenge for a permanent place in team are getting chance.
