SHANGHAI — Awesome Andy Murray sealed an Asian title treble at the Shanghai Masters on Sunday with a 7-5, 6-4 win over David Ferrer , guaranteeing he will leapfrog Roger Federer in the rankings for the first time , to number three.

Murray, 24, was tested by the Spaniard but ultimately had too much for the world number five, wrapping up his eighth Masters title in one hour and 45 minutes..

It is the third ATP tour title in as many weeks for Murray, who was victorious in Bangkok and Tokyo during a perfect Asian swing and has now won 15 matches in succession.

Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq has been named as the Overseas Test Player of the Year by "The Cricketer" magazine in its annual awards. Misbah-ul-Haq, along with his team-mate Abdur Rehman, has also been selected in the magazine's test team of the year.

Misbah-ul-Haq, the captain of Pakistan Cricket team, was also nominated for the best test cricketer in the ICC's annual award 2011, but unfortunately, he was not short-listed. But still his test batting stats were quite enough to show his excellency.

Misbah-ul-Haq has played 6 test matches during the year 2011. He has made 632 runs with an average of 90.28. It is to be remembered, that Misbah has also been doing captaincy, through this period. Along with it, this period has been the most controversial period for Pakistan cricket, but neither the captaincy has made any affect on his performance nor the controversies.

Misbah-ul-Haq has also been criticised due to his defensive style. But each and every test cricket follower knows that patience and defence are the beauty of test cricket, which is shown by Misbah-ul-Haq's attitude and batting style.

One more good thing about Misbah-ul-Haq is that he had never been involved in any kind of negative activity. In past, all the captains had some issues with the board or management, but Misbah-ul-Haq neither had any kind of issues with board nor with the team management.

The only thing that matters for Misbah is just the fitness and performance. Many people criticise Misbah-ul-Haq's fitness due to his age, but still he has the ability to play 2 more years. Interim coach Mohsin Hasan Khan recently stated that Misbah is more fit than youngsters.

With these attributes and stats, Misbah-ul-Haq's selection as the "Best Overseas Test Cricketer" by magazine "The Cricketer" is not surprising. He is the perfect selection.

Though Pakistan faced some easy test opponents this year, but now, Pakistan is just about to play against Sri Lanka, where Misbah-ul-Haq's skills will be checked once again. We hope that Misbah will not give any chance to his critics. Here, I would like to mention that, I am not a Misbah fans, but I just know that who's playing good. I will support anyone who plays well, as Misbah-ul-Haq is doing.
