but he conveniently costed us the WC final...
Don't take rest after a success.Because if U fail next time so many lips are waiting to say, Ur previous victory was just only a luck.
Someone earlier said in the comment section, 'what a fantastic test knock he played at WC final', just remembering.
By far he is one of the best cricketing brains every produced by Pakistan. He deserves all the accolades; he should have been in the team given Inzimam had a little vision to include fresh legs than relying on his coterie... Misbah have all the potential to better Y Khan if not M Yousuf. This is quite unfortunate he is inducted so late in the team.
MUBARAK YOU EARNED THIS AWARD. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
One of the truly educated man in the Pakistani cricket. Well done Misbah, let your game and results do the talking. I am glad that you are not a shallow politician and not hungry for fame.
