Most consececutive Tests with 50s from captaincy debut

Misbah's joins the elite club

On January 17, 2011 during the third day's play of the 2nd Test against New Zealand at Wellington, Pakistan's captain Misbah-ul-Haq became only the fifth Pakistani batsman to score fifty or more runs in five or more successive Test innings. He is also the 2nd Pakistani captain to achieve this feat after Inzamma-ul-Haq. Misbah still has one innings left in this Test match and he has the chance to equal the joint Pakistani record of Asian Bradman, Zaheer Abbas and Muhammad Yousuf, of six consecutive scores of fifty or more runs in sucessive innings. Although Misbah has just accumulated 238 runs in these five fifties but he is only man in the list who scored 100% of his runs in Test matches away from home. All other players scored most of thier runs during thier successive fifites at home. For the interest of the readers, the world record of most successive fify (or plus) scores is of 7 - jointly held by Everton Weeks, Andy Flower and Shivnarine Chanderpaul.
