Australia crush http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 in the series finale - Cricket News Roundup – Part 1 – September 11, 2012
Pakistan on Monday got bulldozed by Australia, who beat the Greens by 94 runs to restore their lost pride in the three-match T20I series,
at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
After being called in to bat first, Aussie openers Shane Watson and David Warner unleashed http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gates-c58585 of h**l by smashing the bowlers remorselessly all around the park.
Pakistan strike attack was reduced to rubble by the two hard-hitting batsmen, forging a nerve-wracking stand of 111 runs.
With Warner as the highest scorer for hammering 59 runs, the Aussies gave Pakistan a target of 169 to win the game.
However, the Aussies were in no mood to face a series whitewash as the bowlers got to the task right from the get go, making inroads with only seven on the board.
T20 specialist http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imran-Nazir-c64248 was disappointing in the tournament as he failed to play a big innings in the three games. In the third match, he scored only a run before throwing away his wicket.
The Aussie bowlers were on top of the Greens and prevented anyone to stay on the wicket long enough to craft a big innings.
With http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yasir-Arafat-c98241 as the highest scorer for hammering 15 runs, Pakistan faltered on a tally of 74.

Ajmal while expressing pleasure of playing against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 said, “I have enjoyed bowling against the Aussies. They struggle a bit against spin. We had a meeting before the series and wanted to win it. We have practised well for the World Cup.”
The bowler was phenomenal in the now concluded series, where he was a menace for the Australians, who just did not know where he was going to spin the ball.
Pakistan skipper, Mohammad Hafeez, admits his side were overplayed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Warner-c1301.
After watching his bowlers smacked out of town by the duo of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hafeez-c76898 in his post-match interview said, “I would like to congratulate my team. They were exceptional in the series, but sadly couldn't do well
today. Warner and Watson played well, but we did well at the end. Hope we can take some positive things from this game. We were trying to give some chances to everyone. Every person has to play their role properly.”
