Team Misbah versus Team PTI

Except diplomatic victory that an international series took place in Pakistan, on performance front, poor team selection & a whitewash is the outcome.There are unccanny resemblances between Misbah's first series incharge & Team PTI's first year in office. He tried to build the team around his winning formula of Islamabad United pitching Faheem along with Shadab. Pretty much the same selection process seems to have gone in PTI' Team selection. Bacteria of Ahmed Shahzad, Umer Akmal & Faheem Ashraf took two games to be removed but along went the series, too little too late. Let's see how soon PTI takes an antibacterial drug or procrastinate till the series is lost. Misbah is calm & longterm for which he did well in longer version of the game whereas, shorter version is quite the opposite, T20 is fast, fluid & aggressive. You blip & you flip. Plus its good to be overrated in younger age, one can learn but being overrated at middle age is not only end of the road as far as learning & improving is concerned, it is seriously detrimental to people & organizational output. Or do we have to wait for Misbah to complete his on job training like Team PTI. And captain on the field talks too much like our minnisters & deliver too little.
There is a dissimilarity between Misbah's 1st series incharge & PTI's 1st yr in office that  people still have some genuinely measured hope assocciated with Captain PTI than great Sir Misbah ul Haq who does seem to have felt some heat of the hot seat. Its hard for him to get results in shorter format & if he has to stay like Bhai Jan Buzdar then we may have to get used to be on the losing side more often than not.
Similarities between Team Misbah & Team PTI outweigh the dissimilarities. But dissimilarity of Team Leaders alone outwieghs all similarities.
