The triumphant Pakistan captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Misbah-ul-Haq-c1972, on Saturday agreed that batting still remains an area of concern for his side and there is a lot of room for improvement in that very department of the game.
The middle-order Pakistan batsman said that the way their batting was exposed in the T20 match and then in the one-day series opener against Bangladesh at the Shere Bangla National Stadium of Mirpur, it has raised serious concerns over the consistency of
batsmen.
The Pakistan skipper urged his batsmen to learn from their mistakes and sort out their weaknesses if they are to stay in the team.
"It is a matter of concern as we have failed to still come to terms with the different pitch conditions in Bangladesh," Misbah said while talking to the media reporters ahead of the second ODI of the four-match series underway at the Shere Bangla National
stadium today, December 3, 2011.
"We are winning matches and doing well as a unit but the batting needs to show muscle and not be brittle,” he added further.

“...this might cost us heavily in the coming matches in Bangladesh or other upcoming series,” said the Pakistan captain in an interview with a private sports channel of Pakistan.
"We are winning because our bowlers are doing really well but if our batsmen also contribute properly we could win by more comfortable margins," he added further.
Pakistan’s batting was exposed by the Bangladesh spin attack on the slow and sluggish Mirpur track as the men in green were restricted to 135 in the only T20 of the tour before the side lost five of its batsmen while chasing a meagre 92-run target.
Pakistan is next scheduled to tour http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c749 starting in Dubai on January 17. When asked about his side’s plans for the England series, Misbah said that they are presently focusing on the Bangladesh series
only and are taking it match by match.
