I have always supported him. He is our sheet anchor in the team. His slow batting holds the innings all along.And on top of that he is a gentleman.

In fact WC2011 semfinal's defeat vs India is the reason for Misbah's crictics. The way he played too many dot balls at crucial time when Pak need 6+run in an over. Even he palyed 3+maiden over of part-time bowlers of OVERCONFIDENT India.

whoever criticise Misbah should understand that without him Pakistan will never score more than 200 runs. We respect him a lot for being a good gentleman in cricket field.

I am sick of hearing comments from Misbah's fan that Pakistan cannot score 200+ w/o him. I ask you to please go back and read scores of 12-14 previous wins and tell me how much did tuk tuk contributed in those. He is the worst thing that happened to Pakistan team and I hope that after him, we will start seeing some positive batting from our team. In current SA match, we had a solid opening platform and then Mr tuk tuk wrecked it. I am never forget the last WC when even my Indians friends tell me that they felt that Misbah was playing for them.

A good criticism is very constructive. If u r a real man, take it on the chin. As saying goes, if u can't stand the heat, stay out of kitchen. He may b the Best scoring machine we have, but captaincy is a different ball game.

Just a thought
Team Misbah may or may not achieve the Ultimate Glory.
But they had already recapture the Grace and Honor lost by super
stars.
He has brought stability and Unlike many popular and fan favorite Super stars, He did not announced retirement or rendered his resignation in middle of a series or tournament.
No fixing ,No tempering, No pot smoking, No and None of the corruption
charges.
We may or may not achieve the Ultimate Glory.
But as a cricketing Nation , We have our honor, dignity and Grace.
Thank You Misbah.

Let me know who in the current team is captaincy material? I don't see anyone other than Misbah who is calm, composed and aggressive when needed.
