Well, I was shocked to see this kind of performance from Pakistani batsman, their middle order is so pathetic and collapsed like a deck of cards. Now why didn't they include Razzaq instead of out of form Malik or Rauf. Anyway this is simply pathetic, 7 down in 27, that's not Pakistan, not even Ireland.
What do you guys think? Hats off to Alam, and Younis, but why are they playing 11 players? The middle order is poorer than that of Zimbabwe and Kenya.

Well.. that's realy a bad performance form the pakistan side..
recently they won the World cup.. that's was realy great..

THe caption Younis khan told that there is huge pressure on youngetesr to perform after the world cup..
but i don't think this is only the reason..
anyways. hope they will back in next series..

I guess you are talking about T20 world cup. Well that's slogger's cricket, none of your abilities except slogging and bowling good yorkers are tested in that. Anyone can win that, but same is not the case with test cricket. That's pretty clear from how India got out from T20 worldcup - without even getting into the semis. Pakistan need to build a good test team up soon.

Pakistan is lacking consistency. If some players play superbly they win otherwise they are losing badly. Even in world cup T20 they depended on individual brilliance than the team effort. Gul was exceptional and some young bowlers too. But in Tests one needs team effort to win.
Just the other day England got out of the losing hook due to the stubborn batting from their lower order. So pakistan needs to pull up and play as a team. They can win anytime but they have to do the right things at the right time!

Pakistan is a great team, it is just a selection fault according to me. They are not playing really as a unit currently. Even though Pakistan has such huge talented players in their countries like Imran Nazir and a lot more, the selection is not that good. A batsman like Imran Nazir who was at top form in the ICL and is young really still can change the momentum of the match from one side to the other with his one knock, but still he is not yet being discussed. That's what sounds pathetic to me!!

yeh it was a very poor effort from Pakistan. In the first match they crumbled after being the dominant team for almost the whole match. That loss was really shocking. And to make things worse they did the same thing on the opening day on the second match. 90 all out was just shocking. Alam played well in his debut match and Younis and Yusuf all did well, but the rest were just bad.
