Former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has described the current Pakistan batsmen as worse than their Bangladeshi counterparts after their pathetic show against South Africa in the ongoing One-Day International (ODI) series in the UAE.
“I am saying this with certainty if Bangladeshi batsmen had been playing this series they would have won it 5-0. South Africa has not won this series they have been gifted it by our spineless batting,” Akhtar said.
Chasing 267 in the fourth ODI, Pakistan went from 228 for 5 to 231 for 8 and lost the five-match series 1-3 with one match remaining.
Pakistan had lost the first match by one run while chasing 184. They lost their last six wickets in the space of 34 balls for just 17 runs in that encounter.
Akhtar said that even Bangladesh would have done a far better job against South Africa than the Pakistani batsmen, who have failed thrice in the series, to successfully chase down manageable totals in the series.
Bangladesh recently whitewashed New Zealand in a three-match ODI series with their batsmen even chasing down totals of 300 plus.
HAhahahha
han akhtar bhai agr bangladesh se abhi pakistan khele to pakistan ko maza chakha den
It is just an outburst a harsh comment trying to denigrate Pakistani players who are trying hard to face the world's no one team and its very fast and davastating bowlers who can turn a match in the space of just one over. Experienced players like Shoaib should be talking about where improvements can be made instead of just badmouthing
shoaib akter may be drank some whisky or something like that…even though bangladesh beat a top team westindise 3 – 2 recently at 2012 and paki boys lost sa.nz 0 – bangladesh 3 at 2013 chasing down a big target of 309 bangladesh won….shoaib akter need some medical treatment
