Have a look:

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Good

 

[smash84]

Thank God, at least something good came out of this World Cup

 

[TheJediBrah]

Going to take more time to focus on maintaining his eyebrow

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good on him for being honest and taking some responsibility unlike Buttler.

 

[Patience and Accuracy+Gut]

Good decision. Very fine player but not a captaincy material.

 

[Darwin Award]

'Resigns'

***chuckles***

 

[Daemon]

Masood will take the Test captaincy apparently. Rizwan for LOs?

 

[centurymaker]

Well he's been forced out in the limited overs.

Only true resignation is from Test Captaincy

Afridi in T20s

 

[Niall]

Masood will take the Test captaincy apparently.

Masood is 34, averages 28 in test cricket and has one half century in his last 9 tests (a 51) , that's desolation from a Pakistan POV personified.

 

[Sunil1z]

Masood is 34, averages 28 in test cricket and has one half century in his last 8 tests (a 54) , that's desolation from a Pakistan POV personified.

I am pretty sure he will resign after PAK tour of AUS.

 

[OverratedSanity]

He was a really poor captain. This is good for the team and for him. Just focus on getting boatloads of runs.

Yeah I was shocked when I heard he'd been made Test captain given his awful batting record and his age.

He is probably just a temporary captain and will likely be sacked within 6-18 months.

Pakistan haven't had a great captain since Imran Khan, no coincidence they won their only ODI World Cup under his watch.

He led from the front coming in at first drop to smash a dashing 72 off just 110 balls to set up that win for them in the final.

Even by the standards of those days, it wasn't a "dashing" 72, and 110 balls was quite slow, but it had to be done to save the innings and get to a competitive total.

But yeah, unfortunately there hasn't been a great captain since. Wasim was probably the best of the rest we've had. Given he was Imran's blue eyed boy, he probably picked up some tricks of the trade.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Misbah was quite good though a bit defensive at times.

I was being sarcastic when I said it was a dashing innings from Imran but it was a crucial innings to set up Pakistan's total in that final under pressure.

Wasim was a matchwinner in that final too with his bowling, a young star on the rise.

 

[smash84]

Wasim was a matchwinner in that final too with his bowling,

And with his batting too, smashing a crucial 33 in less than 20 deliveries IIRC

 

[ma1978]

Misbah was an excellent captain
