Australia vs Pakistan 2016/17: 3rd Test - 5 talking points

#1 Misbah-ul-Haq's woeful series

No highs for Misbah-ul-Haq

Misbah has had a pretty poor series by his standards as he struggled against seamers and spinners alike. Nathan Lyon, in particular, had an upper hand over the Pakistani skipper, who was very edgy against the offie.

Misbah made headlines before the Test by stating that he was pondering retirement. At 42, that decision may not be far off given that he has been fairly inconsistent over the past few months.

His field placements for Yasir Shah was a critical factor in the leggie's poor performance right through the series. The usually inspiring captaincy of Misbah was missing right throughout this series as he struggled to make an impact with the bat as well.
