Misbah is one player who can make a difference to Pakistan fortunes in Cricket World Cup 2011. Misbah is a unique player of his type. Misbah may not be the batsmen of the class of certain Sachin Tendulkar, but when it comes to playing under pressure and orchestrating the innings he beats everyone and beats Sachin Tendulkar by miles. There is no other batsmen in the World in Misbah's mould.
You can compare the Pakistan bowling attacks to other top bowling lineups in the World as well as you can compare their batting to any other batting line up in the World. But please can anyone show me a better batsman for crisis than Misbah-ul-Haq.
Misbah can provide much needed stability to an explosive and rather unpredictable Pakistan batting line up. If Misbah comes good in his role as he did in New Zeeland recently, against India a couple of years ago, and what he did in the 20-20 World Cup 2007, then Pakistan can go all the distance with the kind of explosive batsmen they have in their order. Yunis Khan who should look to play an anchor role rather than going for too many shots himself. If either Misbah or Yunis comes good with the ammunition in their tank, it will be quite difficult for the opposition teams. For One Day side, I think Pakistan has the perfect balance. India may be a strong team than Pakistan in terms of the number of top notch batsmen, but Pakistan is most versatile and most balanced team in the tournament. I would be happy to see India and Pakistan in the final with South Africa being my third favorite team to win the World Cup 2011.
