Generally clinical vs minnows and associates (27-2 record vs teams outside the top 8 across all).
Successful domestic captain across all formats.
Suitable vice captain of the Pakistan side in the past.

But no outstanding teams results in:
High Profile Overseas Test Series.
ICC Events.
However, at least he individually performed in them.

Pakistan Cricket.

Misbah - won 1 of his last 8 Test series
Afridi - not won any of his last 6 T20 series with Waqar coach
New ODI skip - whitewashed first up

Pakistan have won 10 of their last 29 ODIs.
Pakistan have won 7 of their last 26 ODIs against Test teams.
Waqar has won 7 out of 23 ODIs since taking over again.

Pakistan have won 1 of their last 11 series across all formats.
Two average ICC Events in between.

1500 days to go till England's turn in 019.

Pakistan Cricket is not rock bottom. That's harsh. They've been doing well in Test Cricket.

Obviously a person who has 22 ODI 50s in his last 50 ODI innings in a shaky batting line up will be missed from a batting point of view, that re-assuring presence and dependability in the middle order, but here the discussion is about captaincy and one day captaincy.

After 25 ODI assignments in charge which include 21 bilateral series, two continental tournaments, two world tournaments; the post MuH era has started in the one day circuit. We already got a glimpse before since he has left T20 for 3 years now and also didn't feature in neither full ODI series in the UAE in the season just gone, after leading for around 70 ODIs in succession before that, a national record. He has been an ever present figure which is testament to his fitness and passion at such an age, an ever present productive contributor with the bat in tricky situations and an ever present game controller in charge as far as leadership goes of a difficult team to manage historically. Below is an objective analysis of whether he was missed from a captaincy point of view.

First and foremost congratulations to Bangladesh.

BUT.

Transitional period or not. They should not be losing to them.

Yes, other teams have lost here, but conditions are a huge factor for them. Not the same case here.

This series defeat is not a huge surprise. However, it does show that Pakistan's struggles are more deep rooted than just the previous captain as his severe critics are finding out. Some thought they would be world beaters without him and he was standing in their way from becoming a phenomenal unit. I have seen quite a few posters with such thoughts during his enduring time as captain. This is for those who always made him the scapegoat. This is for those who let out their frustrations on him as if there was nothing else wrong with Pakistan Cricket but him. I see quite a few comments such as "Someone will be blaming him for the loss" doing the rounds on social media.

Would he have made a huge difference? In all honesty, from a captaincy perspective, probably not. Under him they have also lost their last four series in this format and lost them badly, often in more familiar conditions. He has only won 5 out of 14 ODI series against the top 8 ranked sides. Lost many more than he has won.

However, he has been clinical against the lesser teams, at least. 7-0 in ODI series against teams outside the top 8. Also, he has a 9-0 captaincy record against Bangladesh in Bangladesh across all formats.

Some of his decision making in selection were dreadful and it got to a stage where I couldn't defend some of his thinking.

It was more of a case that I would have kept him on as ODI captain because of continuity, the fact he is a top class ambassador for Pakistan Cricket in conduct, his own individual contributions and a lack of better alternatives, rather than thinking he was a remarkable one day captain. His one day captaincy was leaving a lot to be desired over his last 8 months or so in the job. He certainly started well as one day captain, 14-1 was his record at one point. But after that it was inconsistent, despite some memorable tours along the way. Since Dav left, it's only gone downhill.

Test Batting Captain = Outstanding.
Test Captain Results = Impressive.

ODI Batting Captain = Phenomenal.
ODI Captain Results = Average.

Overall, a good enough package. Everything can't be perfect. But let's not act as if the team were invincible under his captaincy in one day cricket.

...........

Imran Tahir, Daniel Vettori and Ashwin deserve a lot of credit for the way they bowled in the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup. In a high scoring tournament, with only four fielders allowed outside the circle, in conditions where spin doesn't have a huge say and on some small postage grounds in New Zealand.

Being man of the match in South Africa's first ever World Cup Knockout match victory against a country which has a reputation of playing spin well was undoubtedly a special occasion for Imran Tahir and team.

But what is his future in one day cricket? He will be 40 in 2019. Perhaps a tournament too far? Despite being a spinner who started his international career late.

However, the more immediate ICC Events such as the 2016 ICC World T20 and the 2017 Champions Trophy are certainly within his reach.

Obviously he is far superior limited overs bowler than a Test Match bowler. But should conditions in Test Matches suit or should the opposition not be the strongest of teams against spin bowling, perhaps there is a role he can play for Hashim Amla's side in the longer format too.

.............

What use are Test runs if they are used to continuously pressurise the selectors for a place in the one day team where he continuously flops? It's only inevitable that he will continue to get picked in one day teams as long as he plays and scores in Test Cricket unfortunately.

Let's not hide away from the fact that one day cricket is hugely popular in Asia. A lot more people follow it compared to the Tests in this part of the world. It is the pinnacle for many. Competitions are given a lot of importance. Hence success in them is hugely important to maintain interest in the game in the country. This man averages 22 in World Cup Cricket across four editions. He was woefully out of sorts as many expected when it mattered again in the most recent edition, despite throwing a shameless public tantrum to force his way into the reckoning. And yet people compare him with Javed Miandad?

Misbah should have taken a stand and threatened to resign or if he approved of the selection as reports suggest he did, then deserves heavy criticism for senseless selection when it is so obvious to people who can differentiate between formats that he shouldn't have been picked under any circumstances. I get the impression he perhaps even picked him to make his performances look head and shoulders above the rest or picked him on the basis of personal friendships. How else could he have been picked? It's a mystery on cricketing grounds.

I cannot stress how bad a decision it was to take him. It was a costly one. He was a huge culprit with his single digit failures in two demoralising losses to start the campaign. Very little chance to recover from there mentally as a team. If it wasn't a reputable captain, we'd have been calling him a "dummy captain."
