Does Misbah-ul-Haq's strike-rate make him a poor ODI batsman?

26-Jul-2013
Yes
His strike-rate since 2011 is under 70, in an era when lots of batsmen strike in the 90s. The fact that Misbah hasn't been able to convert one of his many fifties into a hundred speaks for itself. Pakistan need better from the most experienced player in an inexperienced line-up.
No
Misbah's methods are justified by the unpredictability of the rest of the batting line-up, and the potency of Pakistan's bowling. He has the ability to switch gears when the situation demands it, and his slow scoring has rarely contributed to defeat.
