Misbah-ul-Haq predicts Pakistan’s success against Australia - Cricket News Roundup – Part 1 – August 28, 2012
In a recent interview, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 (UAE) from today (Tuesday).
Admitting that Pakistan would have to exhibit an extra effort to overcome the Aussies, the middle-order batsman said, “Of course, whenever there is such a thing it charges the team in an extra way, its needs an extra effort to combine and beat an opponent who we have not beaten for some time.”
Rubbishing an easy contest due to harsh playing conditions for the Australians, Misbah added, “Australia are one of the top teams, it's difficult to beat them because they are a fighting team in any conditions of the world.”
The Pakistan skipper, reckoned the series to be a great practice for the Men in Green before the World T20.
Pakistan will be playing three ODIs and three T20 matches before flying over to Sri Lanka for the World T20 Champion in September.
