More Admirable Features of Misbah's Play

1) Centuries covered before
     Strike rotation covered before
     Strike rotation (2) covered before
     His attacking options covered before

2) How he doesn't panic when runs don't come
How he backs his temperament when the bowlers are bowling well and the ball is hard to get away
How he surprises bowlers with his attacking shots and makes his mindset difficult to read
How he can reign himself in despite having the ability to score quickly and play attacking shots
Strong fundamental basis technically
Full hearted in defence or attack

3) How he combines defence and attack
How he combines survival and scoring
How he combines defence and attack along with nudging singles and twos
Positive in defence, positive in attack
How he plays the release shot to break the shackles

4) Priding his wicket as if his life depends on it
Occupying the wicket like it is his bed
Busy and proactive in his crease movements
Making his mind difficult to read from a bowling point of view
Intense desire to be there at the end and close out games

5) Absorbing Pressure
Making the most of each innings, batting each time like it is his last

6) Can't make runs sitting in the shed
Better to be in the middle than seeing others bat
The longer you spend in the middle the more runs you are giving yourself the chance to get
Better to score slowly rather than not scoring at all
It's not possible to score with SR of 80+ each time consistently
Combining modern innovations with traditional virtues
