Who is the most admirable cricketer in the world? Some might name Michael Clarke, who has done so much to turn the Australian team around, both with the bat and also brilliant captaincy.
Some might well suggest Shivnarine Chanderpaul, who again and again digs the woeful West Indian batting line up out of trouble. But I would like to nominate the Pakistan captain Misbah ul-Haq, who last night led his team to an improbable and famous victory over Sri Lanka.
