Misbah-ul-Haq wants Pakistan to clean sweep England – Cricket News Update
The skipper of Pakistan, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Misbah-ul-Haq-c1972, believes that his side has what it takes to defeat England for the third consecutive time in the Test series. The two sides are scheduled to lock horns once again on Friday, February 3 at Dubai International Cricket
Stadium.
The Men in Green have already sealed the series with an unassailable 2-0 lead over the English side. Misbah and his men have a chance to enter their names in the record books by completing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755’s first clean sweep over England, if they emerge victorious
in the third Test match.
The 37-year-old admitted that defeating the number one Test side of the world three times in a row will be a big achievement for the team.
However, Misbah refused to get carried away with their recent success, as he reckons winning the Dubai Test will not be an easy task for the Green Shirts. He expects England to be better prepared.
“It will be a big achievement for the team (winning 3-0). No doubt, England is a good team, they are number one in the world and it will not be easy because they will be more prepared, but we will try our best,” said Misbah.
The man at the helm of the Pakistani team has advised his players not to take any undue pressure of winning the final Test. Misbah has faith in his player’s abilities and wants them to keep on performing at the same level as they have done throughout the
series.
Misbah said, “The way the team is performing with consistency, if we play well like we did in the first two games good results will come but we will not take that extra pressure (of clean sweep).”
Pakistan has not lost a single Test series under Misbah’s leadership. The middle-order batsman has led the Green Shirts to eight Test victories from 14 matches while they have only lost a solitary Test. One of the key aspects of his success is that he http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ian-Hunter-c1571

Commenting on the make-up of the team, Misbah said, “I am a firm believer in the balance of the team because the first priority is to win and I think we will go with whatever is the best combination for the team.”
