Misbah a fighter ... lead by example

Under Misbah ul Haq's captaincy Team Pakistan has played 10 matches, won 4 and lost 1 match only; which makes Team Pakistan's Win/Loss under Captain Misbah to be exactly 4.00

4.00 is the highest W/L ratio for any Pakistani Captain who has captained 10 or more test matches. Moreover Team Pakistan has never lost a series under the guidance of Misbah-ul-Haq but sure has won 2 big series.

Misbah's leadership hasn't just won the matches for us but also has affected the performance of other individuals as well. 

Since Misbah-ul-Haq has taken over the reigns of Pakistan Cricket Team:

Younis Khan averages in access of 65 RpI (runs per innings)

Azhar Ali's average is well over 50 RpI

Taufeeq Umar is looping in the 40s as well

All apart, Misbah-ul-Haq's own batting average under his captaincy is well above than 80 RpI.

As a finishing touch I must repeat Tony Greig's applauding comments who said that "Pakistan has found a gem of the Captain in form of Misbah ul Haq".

All hail the MESSIAH. ALL HAIL THE KING.
KING Misbah you are heart
