  1. I can say one thing for sure tht Pakistan never batted so well against AUS ever before only problem which is still we r facein is slowly fielding as it was in past ever ,the letting down problem is not having above average bowling which remained too good n xlent in past

  2. Captaincy is a big problem defense captains can’t meet uptaded cricket needs. Defense captain even is not capable of being a team member.

  3. Not playing with good left-hand batsman n batsmen who can cut n pull like Kamran akmal is basics.younas misbah Azhar are bluffs in these conditions
