Pakistan v Australia: http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859 out of the attack – Cricket News Update
Poor fielding and key errors in on field decisions cost http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 on Monday, as they lost the decider by three wickets, at Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
Speaking in the post-match ceremony regarding his decision to take Saeed Ajmal out of the action when the bowler had grabbed three wickets, the Pakistan skipper said, “I think after the game you can say we should have done this and that. All the time when we lose the game it is like this. Other bowlers are also wicket-takers. Probably, in hindsight, if I had continued with him [Ajmal], it could have been a different result."
Pakistan had their chances both while batting and fielding, but failed to capitalize on the good starts they got, allowing the mighty Australians to roar their way back into the game.
Had they gone for review when Michael Hussey had not opened his account, the outcome might have been different, as it was Hussey, who actually batted his side towards victory later in the evening.
Giving full marks to the Aussies, Misbah said, “The way we started, 15-20 runs short at the end. Credit to Australia the way they chased. Wasn't easy. Little bit of dew factor, outfield was also quicker in the second part of the game.”
Praising the performance of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shafiq-c89281 and Azhar were positives.”
Pakistan lost the series by 2-1, continuing their over a decade long record of losing to the Aussies.
Meanwhile, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hafeez-c76898 who will now be leading the Greens in the three-match T20I series starting from Wednesday, September 05, had a great ODI series and was phenomenal in the final where he was the highest scoring batsman from his side with a tally of 78 to his name, as Pakistan gave Australia a target of 245 to win the match in 50 overs.
