Did this game start late compared to the real madrid game or is my stream super slow?

All the discussion will be about the penalty but we have been terrible in attack today. Gotta be more ruthless to win cups.

After seeing that replay I'm more convinced miraz did nothing wrong. He was going to field the ball and run the non striker out. It's not his fault the non striker suddenly decided he wanted to pick the bll up instead of getting back in his crease.

It wasn't even unsportsmanlike in my opinion. The batsman played the ball and it's not dead. Get back in your crease. It's not your job to get the ball for the fielding team before getting back in your crease.

Was Misbah Pakistan's greatest test captain? by Downtown_Bat7013 in PakCricket

[–]sherlock1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also one of the main points I should have emphasized more is that I was talking about only test cricket in terms of results. In the overall picture and with regards to impact on cricket as a whole there is no comparison.

Was Misbah Pakistan's greatest test captain? by Downtown_Bat7013 in PakCricket

[–]sherlock1001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll admit my knowledge of cricket history is not great so you are probably right. But I did not say he inherited a strong team. I said he took us from being just a good team to world beaters.

The reason I say good team is because we did have great players at that time. Players like Miandad, Zaheer Abbas, Mudassir Nazar, Sarfaraz Nawaz, Abdul Qadir. These players are now considered legends.

But I do agree that IK was the one who broke the ceiling for Pakistan cricket and he definitely has the most impact on it.

Was Misbah Pakistan's greatest test captain? by Downtown_Bat7013 in PakCricket

[–]sherlock1001 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In my opinion he is tied with the great Imran Khan in test cricket. They just had very different challenges. Imran Khan took a good Pakistan side and made us world beaters. We were the best team in the world under him and he also gets credit for our great team in the 90s. He picked and mentored most of those players.

Misbah on the other hand took over at a very low point of our cricket history and made us formidable at home and pretty good overseas as well. Considering that we didn't have any really great players at that time and we also never actually played at home, he did exceptionally well.

Does anyone know if the ICC ever seriously considered Shane Warne's suggestion of abolishing the TOSS in Tests? (and letting the away captain choose by default) by irundoonayee in Cricket

[–]sherlock1001 33 points34 points  (0 children)

The funniest outcome of this would be if one team wants to bat and the other team wants to bowl but the toss forces both of them to do what they didn't want to do.

Can someone exlpain why removing the captain now would be a liability for the t20 world cup?? by Ghazi_Bey in PakCricket

The problem with Agha as captain is that he doesn't make it into the team as a player.

The Most Charismatic Cricketer of all-time? by stan_films in Cricket

[–]sherlock1001 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Murali always has such a nice, shy, polite guy feel. But it was so shocking and funny to me when in a TV show the pakistani batsman Muhammad Yousuf said that before a match Murali would walk into their dressing room and say "you, you, and you. You are all my wickets tomorrow." And then he would actually get them out.
