Misbah Braveness against Australia

Pakistani team captain Misbah was again seen in the news and this time the channels reported that the young players refused to accept the orders f their captain and he has to field himself. This news started a fire among the Pakistani fan Let us take a look what actually happened out there. Shahid Afridi was about to start his bowling and Misbah wanted a man at short fine leg so that it pts extra pressure on the Australian batting.

Sohaib was given the task and he followed his captain’s orders. A helmet was brought in the ground and when Sohaib tried to wear it was too tight for him.

He immediately went to his skipper and told him that it is too tight for him and his head is squeezing inside it. Misbah saved the time and asked him to hand it over to him.

Misbah wore the helmet and it fitted on his head so he took the guard also and went out there himself. After a very long time people saw Misbah fielding at short fine leg.

After that over the helmet was changed and Sohaib took the position from his captain and fielded in that position. Now come to the point why Misbah went there himself the reason was to save time.

ICC has been very strict about the official time frame given to the bowling side to bowl out their quota of fifty overs. In the past we have seen the captains of different teams paying heavy penalties and facing match bans for not conducting bowling overs within time frame given.

It was brilliant thinking from Misbah as he not only saved time for his side but also showed the youngsters the way to be brave. He led them all from the front and deserves heavy appreciation.
