Misbah not panicked

AFP, Christchurch
Pakistan captain Misbahul Haq dismissed talk of panic in the ranks Friday but conceded their batting woes needed to be addressed ahead of their crunch World Cup match against the West Indies.
The two sides go into Saturday's match at Hagley Oval in Christchurch desperate to get points on the board after both lost their first matches in Pool B.
Pakistan suffered a dramatic batting collapse when they were outclassed by India while the West Indies were upset by Ireland.
"This is an important game, and both teams need to win. We know that," Misbah said, adding Pakistan knew they had to rectify their problem batting.
But he added "we are not panicking,” when questioned whether there
would be changes to the side to face the West Indies.
Misbah's 76 against India was the only half century in the Pakistan innings but he said he should not have been responsible for holding the innings together.
"It doesn't mean that all the time it should be me. It should be two other guys out of six or seven batsmen that are playing," he said.
"This is how normally cricket is being played. Every time all seven batsmen don't perform and maybe two or three just score runs and you just win the game.
"The guys who are not at the moment performing, we know that they are good enough players, and they can just come to the party in the next games."
Pakistan reached 102-2 against India before the batting imploded with three
wickets for one run before they limped through to224, well short oflndia's300.
Misbah said moving him up the order from his number four slot was not the answer.
"We just collapsed in the middle order, so it wasn't a problem at the top. What we are missing, I think, is that we need to have better partnerships on a regular basis, whether it's at the top, whether it's in the middle order.
"Any pair who is batting, they need to just develop a partnership, and that's what we missed in India's game. After losing the second wicket we just lost three wickets in nine balls and that really cost us the game."
Although Pakistan are without proven match-winner Saeed Aj mal - who pulled out of the Cup because of his disputed spin bowling action - Misbah felt comfortable with his bowlers.
