Very difficult to disagree with that. Its just a difference of agreeing upon what makes a supporter a disgrace

R_D exactly well said lol

but to answer his question... dhoni should have used seasernth in the middle overs after malik and afridi was out... keep pathan's one over for the end... he could have easly used the older pathan for at least one over during this pressure time of pakistan... face it pakistan not only lost malik but afridi also in the same over... older pahtan could have bowle the next over..and next seasernth...

well pakistan didn't play good... the total score of 157 on that pitch was nothing... india was lucky to get nazir out..

all i have to say is - If Misbah Ul Haq didnt replace his head with a pumpkin, Pakistan wouldve won quite easily.

I mean hes got their slowest bowler bowling, why can't he back himself and smash the ball going for a boundary and if you mistime it, at least you know you tried. Instead he made a stupid decision a very low percentage shot and he will be thinking about how he couldve played that ball for weeks to come.

Thank Misbah for bringing Pak back into the game. If not for his knock, Pakistan could have lost comfortably.

Indeed, full credit to him for that knock, otherwise Pakistan wouldn't have stood a chance. Still, he played a dumb shot after batting sensibly and strongly, which was disappointing.

Without Misbah's knock we would not even have been discussing how the match sould have gone either way.

India would have won VERY comfortably. He was by far the best Pakistani batsman on that day. Pakistani fans to look at their 'stars' if they insist on blaming their team for losing not the gallant Misbah-ul-Haq
