Pakistan vs West Indies 2017, 1st Test: 5 Talking Points

#2 Misbah-ul-Haq is still the mainstay of Pakistan's batting

Misbah-ul-Haq proved to be too good for the Windies

Misbah-ul-Haq and Younis Khan might be playing their last Test series but still remain the backbone of Pakistan's Test batting. Although Babar Azam played a fine innings it required Misbah's hand to take Pakistan to a huge score. Unfortunately, though, the skipper was stranded on 99 as Pakistan were bowled out for 407.

West Indies just couldn't break through Misbah's strong defence and big sweeps. The Pakistan skipper was in complete control of his game as he took apart the Windies attack bowler by bowler. Given that the veteran batsman is on his last tour, Pakistan will need to find a good replacement for Misbah soon.
