There is a significant decrease in England's scoring rate since Cook became captain in 17 tests.

This is the type of rubbish that is written against Misbah on here.

They score at 2.94 an over under him despite having:

- KP Factor
- Less turgid wickets like in UAE
- Strong attacking lower order

3 times from memory under Cook in last 12 months Eng have batted out a first innings day where 80+ overs been bowled and added under 220

Just imagine the abuse Misbah would be getting if they were

199/5 from 97 overs like England were in Nagpur last year on day 1
160/4 from 80 overs like England were at Lords this year vs Kiwis on day 1
247/4 from 116 overs like England were at the Oval in the final Ashes Test on day 3

And Misbah as a batsmen is much much less cautious and more versatile than Cook if you look at:

Calculated hitting
Aerial hitting
Gear Changing
Ball Striking
Power Hitting

You would never see Cook hitting 74 6s at all levels in a year like Misbah has done this year
