The uncharacteristic dismissal
Misbah may be averse to triple-figure scores, but like a 21st century Allan Border, he has been the king of fifties in 2013 – particularly in losing causes. Having hit eight fifties in his last 11 ODI innings, Misbah was cruising towards another half-century, with almost no pressure enforced by the match situation. At 31, though, Misbah found an odd way to get out. Wayne Parnell delivered a wide half-volley and, instead of hitting it through the covers as he should have, he opened the face and lifted the ball straight into du Plessis’ hands at point.
