[insaaniyat]

^ good job. Let's see how many more innings he do that.

[*sallu*]

Bradman has 38 innings as captain, Misbah has 11

Not fair to compare as of yet

[Down2Earth]

misbah should retire now and be remembered for this record

[insaaniyat]

Bradman has 38 innings as captain, Misbah has 11

If Misbah happened to play another 28 innings he will break his record. Misbah is very consistent with his performance, but PCB may not be:)

[W63L35]

misbah should retire now and be remembered for this record

Great idea... but I think, he should for Zimbabwe series so he can break this one also ...and then retire.

[Down2Earth]

misbah with only one century and averaging second best goes to show why batting at 6 and 7 is helpful :misbah

[zains_rulez]

Welldone Misbah :D

[W63L35]

misbah with only one century and averaging second best goes to show why batting at 6 and 7 is helpful :misbah

He never batted at #7 as a captain....

Checking the facts before typing away garbage is also helpful; :)

No Indian?:asif:batman:

They can either bat or lead the team....not two things at the same time. Just suck at multitasking! :P

[Random Aussie]

Misbah>>>Bradman

Those 38 innings don't count it was so long ago and he didn't play against Sri Lanka :batman:

[W63L35]

Misbah>>>Bradman


RA.... I am disappointed because I did not expect it from you! :( .................. :P


Who do you think I am............. a Sachin fan? ;-)



Notice :P in the first post!

Misbah is just an average player, let him play against better attacks.

U mean like SA and Nz on a green top?
Been and done it

[cricketloverindia]

This thread has potential. :afridi

[KFC_Zinger]

Misbah SA kadhun gaya......When did he play SA in SA

not discrediting his achievemnts but SA in middle east and SA in Durban aint same....Sehwag will tell u that (300 outside and not much in SA)

[kingusama92]

I think this is no doubt that Misbah is a better batsman than Bradman.

In fact, there are rumours Bradman said he remembers a little bit of himself in Misbah's aggressive stroke play.

[cricketindiafan]

Bradman was fortunate that Misbah didn't start his career early..else the Don would have been pushed to being the 2nd best batsman of all times.

And Sachin to 3rd best. :P

[sakss]

misbah = legend :)))

[cricketindiafan]

And Sachin to 3rd best. :P

Who cares about who is 3rd? 1 and 2 is all that matters :)

[Looney]

:misbah > :don > :sachin





YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSS :hamster:

[Borg]

misbah for knighthood !!!!!!

[CoolSERAZ]

i hope misbah lovers dont indulge in an orgy over here... :P

[mrcricket15]

@Thread creator

Nice stats.

Did you calculate the percentage yourself or there is option in Statusguru to show the results in terms of percentage?

[MAJID-SHAH]

Well statistics dont lie, they speak the truth and nothing but.

I think its quite apparent that Misbah is the greatest test player to have ever walked this earth.... :misbah = Legend. :bow: :bow:

[neo87]

lol He is the greatest ever. Best ever , Class player ,Forgot the other adjectives lol. :)))

[MAJID-SHAH]

I didnt forget...there are just too many adjectives to describe the old-ster beauty :misbah

[Watsupdoc]

Misbah >>> Bradman thus Misbah >>> Sachin :misbah

[freelance_cricketer]

If Misbah keeps playing India and West Indies only for 20 years in just 69 matches on Indian, West Indian and Pakistani pitches, surely he will have a record similar to that of Bradman :D

[ads101]

It's an insult to compare Misbah to Bradman, I mean Bradman's good don't get me wrong, but Misbah's at a whole different level.

I mean each run that comes off Misbah's bat is a glory to behold. It's enthralling. You can watch misbah for hours, overs on end waiting for him to finally stop teasing you and carve out that one run again after playing five maiden overs. Sheer utter class this man is :D.

[akamaka]

All hail Misbah! :bow:

Greatest batsman ever. :misbah

[ads101]

well to be fair since we've already played England in England and Australia in Australia quite recently, we won't go back there so quickly. So we pretty much will play in the indian subcontinent, we haven't played Bangladesh for some time and perhaps south africa for now. Maybe NZ too.

So considering the small number of matches Misbah played now, and the fact he'll probably carry on playing until his form goes away, and then retire, Misbah could quite easily perhaps average something like sixty. Which would be phenomenal. It'd be a bit like Sachin only playing at his very peak, he'd be averaging seventy/eighty most likely.

Misbah needs to take this opportunity to take mini Bradman status very seriously :D.

[Amjid Javed]

Misbradman ul Haq well done :)

[talha3]

:)) great thread.

[Tapioca]

If we knew this, we could have made Misbah the captain ten years ago and Pakistan would be the No.1 test team in the world.

[ash 68]

Misbah SA kadhun gaya......When did he play SA in SA

not discrediting his achievemnts but SA in middle east and SA in Durban aint same....Sehwag will tell u that (300 outside and not much in SA)

okay- so we have to wait till he goes allround the world :misbah

[Tapioca]

Why ? Misbah has captained in middle east, NZ and WI. Bradman played in only England and Australia.

It is Bradman who has to play in more countries if he wants to be compared with Misbah

[asifp]

Great idea... but I think, he should for Zimbabwe series so he can break this one also ...and then retire.

Khan Imran Khan once again proving that he is the greatest cricketer of all time. Average of over 50 as a captain with a bowling average near 20

[emclub]

I have never seen so much love for Misbah-ul-Hulk in one thread before :misbah

[srh]

and we still think PCB made a bad decision by making Misbah captain of ODI team? :P

[dhonikachamcha]

Whatta youngsta beauty:misbah

[Faizan Lakhani]

Wonder, what are his statistics when he was NOT the captain :)

[Hasnain_786]

from now on misbah must score 13 centuries within 27 innings :P

Dont bet against Misbah. He seems possessed.

[Theo_14]

Why wonder when he's doing so well now? :13:

----

Zimbabwe's pitches will suit Misbah perfectly and pretty sure Misbah will be improving the average of his and force W63L35 to create more threads on Misbah breaking other records and achieving more things to please us Pakistani fans. :14:

[AfridiZindabad]

Should also arrange a 7 match ODI series with Afghanistan. Might as well become the best ODI batsman.

[On_the_up]

Lies, damn lies and statistics.

How about any batsman scoring more than 0 in their final inns in test gets one over Bradman.

Bradman scored a 100 once every 2.7 inns, Misbah has 1 in 11.

Bradman is incomparable to any other batsman full stop.

Good effort by Misbah but any comparison to the Don is purely due to how you analyse the stats.

How about their respective average as captains or average runs scored per inns as captain?

That will be more revealing.

How about you are stupid and dont get the pun :facepalm:

[x2zee123]

1 of the good things about misbah is that not only he is a legendary batsman but he doesn't choke under pressure :sachin

[Rana]

Sir Mis Bah Bah Black Sheep

[AfridiZindabad]

1 of the good things about misbah is that not only he is a legendary batsman but he doesn't choke under pressure :sachin

Hmm, not true.

Choked in t20 final against India, in Semi-final '11 world cup he was very defensive when Pakistan was under pressure.

[cricketpassion]

Misbah The Legend :misbah

[Gollum]

ul Haq ki laaj rakh li...kiya baat hai :inzi

[Fireworks11]

Top work W63L35, Misbah is on a roll in the twilight of his career.

[Prince_Pathan]

if only he was given a chance earlier in his career for a sustained period

could have been truly great

[Fireworks11]

Misbah may turn out to be Pakistan's Sachin.

[Prince_Pathan]

no ^^ cant compare them now...sachins stats are something misbah cant catch hes 35 but in 2002 misbah was 26 and who knows where he was before that

but still could have been a pakistani great

[Fireworks11]

^^Yeah just kidding man. You're right, he could have been an absolute great for Pak, quite a shame really.

[The WagonWheel]

Misbah > Bradman > Sachin in terms of meticulous planning and concentration easily !! Think of that, while the whole world was going gaga over Ind-Pak SF clash in a world cup, Misbah had been practicing for this series.... Take a bow the new Bradman ... :p

[cric_fan82]

One has to be a besharam of the highest order, to compare misbah to any any genuine batsman let alone sir don or tendulkar!

They cannot be compared to misbah, you mean. :P Misbah slowly dead bats all in his way. :afridi has been dealt with. What are :sachin :don ?

[James]

He couldn't have been a Pakistani great. A Pakistani great is Miandad or Inzi.

Minnowbasher ul-Haq will love the Zimbabwe tour I'm sure.

hardly call him a minnow basher. Bit harsh. He's succeeded against top attacks like South africa. More of a flat tracky bully really. Hasn't done much on bouncy wickets.

FTB at best. Can't really play the moving ball.
