Pakistan!!! What have you done :noway. With all the rain around, I feel it suited Australia more than Pakistan because it took a Pakistan win out of the game. I feel for Azhar Ali. However, I feel that this will be the last test series for or of Younis or Misbah. Its been a bad few months of test cricket for Pakistan since the England tour. The signs were there in the UAE as well, against the Windies. They came close to losing that D/N test at Dubai and then ended up losing the third test as well. The horrific surrender in NZ and this disappointing effort here means that the old brigade has to pass on the baton. Now is the time. Also, Pakistan management and fans must now come out of the sepia-tinged memories of their fast bowling past. Pakistan no longer hold that fast bowling threat. Their wins have been built on spin bowling in the last 5 years. Their fast bowling is as much to blame as the batting.

Also, we are now seeing a new trend emerging in tests now. 450 or 500 in the first innings is no longer a safe score. England lost back to back tests by an innings after scoring 400+. Pakistan are very close to it now.
 
Lol. I missed this Pakistan in the last match :lol
 
Looks like Indians are overjoyed. Well The bowling is to blame. Pakistan pull up good efforts in the series unlike the last experience but got confused at the end. The pace battery is a serious concern. The captaincy is as pathetic as you can ask for. I would just ask for Misbah's retirement not Younis. The team needs Younis at this stage. Hopes Management won't panic on this. Their selection decisions are to blame as well.
 
Wow, that was a collapse of huge proportions. This Australian bowling lineup has a good look about it - Starc, Hazlewood and Bird complement each other nicely. The only thing that's left is the dropping of Lyon, even though he was unusually threatening today. Once Cummins/Pattinson regain their fitness and confidence, they can replace Bird.


Starc should be rested for the next test as a precautionary measure. He's made of glass as we all know and Australia need him fit for the India tour. He's perhaps the second most important player after Smith.
