Misbah was only one useful hit away to get this award. He was brillant throughout

I agree with Kahmad's backing of Misbah and Gul. They were really outstanding in every match. As was Afridi. Highly deserving in my view.
Yuvraj was supremely spectacular in the few matches that he shone in, but not consistant enough for Man of the Tournament. If any Indian player had to get it, I'd rather give it to RP Singh for consistantly taking wickets, or to Dhoni for his superb captaincy. |

If it had do be someone, it should have been Gul as he bowled consistently well in all the matches and had the best economy rate which really was one of the major factors of Pakistan reaching the final. Afridi bowled well but he didn't really didn't do anything with bat and Misbah was also more deserving.

I thought Misbah was by far the most deserving player for this award. He was on the hot seat right from the start after being selected over Mohammad Yousuf. Everyone - myself included - was criticizing his selection, but the guy really silenced ALL his critics. The Pakistani bowlers did very well to restrict opposition teams to chasable scores but when our top order constantly collapsed, it was always Misbah playing a heroic rescue act and seeing us to victory. If there's one thing that he can be criticized for, it must be that he got us (Pakistan) so VERY close to victory in the final, but just didn't take us over the finish line.

I do recognize his bowling but they were not match winning spells. only in his match vs srilanka, his team won because of him. His wicket tally increased because he took 4 wickets against scotland.
He did not bowl bad but Asif and Gul had more match winning spells. Also RP singh bowled way better than him throughout the tournament and he was instrumental in almost all victories of India. He would also have more wickets if India played against Scotland. But Spinwizard, i still respect your opinion and I am just giving my opinion.

We expected lot more with the bat from Afridi, but he did it so brillantly with the Ball. Pakistan could loose to Scottland at a time, but Afridi saved the Match for Pakistan. It was always difficult for any bowler to keep the Batsmen quit at the middle of the Innings and he did it with wickets. In the Finals he didn't get a wicket but he troubled Yuvraj who was in a great form. He deserved the award as Gul did it. Both were fantastic with the ball in every match.
