''Defensive'' Misbah faces flak from former players after Oz ODI series defeatIslamabad, Sept. 6: Pakistan skipper Misbahul Haq was heavily criticized by former players for his tactics and defensive approach in Pakistan''s 2-1 One-Day International series defeat to Australia. Pakistan lost the deciding match by three wickets on Monday, missing a good chance to record their first win against Australia in a limited overs series in 10 years. "You need aggression to beat Australia. Misbah is not batting well and not showing aggression in captaincy," the Daily Times quoted former captain Wasim Akram, as saying. Wasim said Misbah needed to show courage after notching up three one-day series defeats in a row. "At his age Misbah needs to play his remaining cricket with a big heart," said Wasim. Former paceman Sarfraz Nawaz also criticised Misbah, by saying: "It was his defensive approach that cost Pakistan the series. Pakistan had a good chance of beating Australia but they lacked planning and aggression." © ANI |
