Kallis completely flopped in this series. Nothing from the bat or ball but I not heard or see anything that any South African asking him to retire. This is a big lesson for us. Few months ago, those people who were criticizing Misbah are now praising him. Worst part is that some people including former players and Journalists are still trying to blame Misbah for anything bad they see in the team or in dressing room. Three Years ago, when Misbah was selected as a captain of the test side, hardly very few people supported that decision(even I was one of them). At that time, Pakistani team had nothing to play cricket. They were completely devastated after spot fixing scandal which forced their three main players out of the team. He not had the luxury of Home grounds. He then started to lift the team but the problem is some people(especially journalists and some so called cricket experts) watch every match just to pick any Misbahs fault. If Pakistan win that match, then it is good otherwise ............... These people cannot see 100 good things Misbah did for this team, they can only see one or two negative things. They say that they do criticism for betterment of the team but in reality their main purpose is to just blame Misbah for anything bad. They almost convinced Zaka Ashraf to remove Misbah from captaincy and made him captain in all formats but Zaka Ashraf not survived long as PCB chairman. Maybe one of the reason is Misbah is not media friendly player like other are or he not provide big headlines to media, he not leaks dressing room secrets or maybe he has no controversy in his whole career. But the captain is still fighting and fighting Like a Champ Afridi
