I, an Indian, Salute Mr. Misbah ul Haq of Pakistan for WINNING semi final for India by contribution by bat and dropped catch during Indian innings.
Misbah, your contribution will be remember forever (I promise)
BECAUSE, it is you who save Pakistani fielders especially Younis Khan and Kamran Akmal from blasphemy – how the God of Indian Cricket could be out before making half-century, if not the Century of Centuries.
Thanks to you, our Great Sachin Lucky Tendulkar made 85 runs with the 4 lives and Misbah – you were the Man who shown these mere mortals – Younis (Sachin at 45), Kamran Akmal (Sachin at 70) and finally Umar Akmal (how can he be behind from his brother) when the Great Scahin at 81 – the right ways by dropping our Sachin at 27 runs.
Alas! Shahid Afridi did not see the light you shown to other teammates and caught the Great Sachin. Poor Afridi.
After greatly contributing in the field by dropping catch and guiding others, you left no stone un-turn for the victory of India in this highly publicized and high tension cricket match by playing Test match in One Day.
Misbah, it is you, who made ordinary bowling of India to look Great by playing 41 dot balls (balls without run) in your LONG inning until the 50th over. I know, Misbah, you stayed there just to finish the work you started in Indian inning i.e. Winning Semi Final for India.
Misbah, you helped Indian bowlers to keep pressures on Pakistani batsman and played a good role in forcing them to play the shots which they would not played. You are the main instruments, due to which Indian bowlers got wicket of Abdul Razzak, Shahid Afridi, Wahab Riaz and finally Umar Gul. Thanks to you, the asking run rate was on rising course that forced these batsmen to play big hits and gave their wickets.
It was a treat to watch you, playing 3-4 dots balls in every over by bringing bat with pad.
I did not understand why you were not given Man of the Match award while your contribution in Indian Victory is bigger than the Great Sachin’s 85 with 4 lives.
Misbah, please don’t lose heart, We – the people of India – always remember you fondly as we still remember that paddle-scoop (Pallu Shot) which gave us First T20 World Cup in 2007.
I, an Indian, once again Salute you Mr. Misbah ul Haq for winning us the Semi Final in 2011 World Cup at Mohali.
I hope that our Lucky Dhoni and his ordinary or not-so-ordinary boys will not forget your this Great contribution and will win the World Cup 2011. So that your efforts would not go in vain.
We, the cricket loving people of India, request honourable President of India to confer Padm Shree to Mr. Misbah ul Haque of Pakistan, if not Bharat Ratna.
Jai Hind!

Absolutely!!.. Whole world knows that Misbah played for india, Even little daughters of afridi said that when balls left were almost over then misbah realized that we have to make runs to win!.. The time Misbah landed on pitch, he was on a mission and his mission was to make sure that pakistan do not win. Not only you indians will not forget his innings because due to him Pakistan lost an easy chase. Also we pakistanis will never forget such heart breaking and disturbing innings. We almost have left faith in our team except Afridi. I am sure, if indians would have got misbah out on first ball. Pakistan would have won.. He created all the pressure and is the only reason for lost..
