Pakistan vs Australia at Melbourne, Jan 15th, 2000

Mofeez,

Good analysis...much better than the previous two formats.....Luck? i don`t know man! some call it professionalism or lack of it. Pakistan lacked professional approach. Australians stuck to their task and worked hard to win the match....

Sydney match (palyed after this analyis was published) was more interesting...although Pakistan lost it by a huge margin, but not before they proved that no baller (or balling attack for that matter) in the world can bowl an immaculate line and length when batsmen really go after him/them.....Mcgrath the greatest of all Australin pace bowlers was hit mercilessly all around the SCG, at one point conceding 61 for no wicket in 5 overs.

Mofeez, should Pakistan stick to its SCG plan for Hobart match against India? I think it worked quite well....only thing which let them down was no consolidation in the middle order.

Mofeez.. I think u r over praising the brillient Pakistan team.. their batting is in a bad patch for as long i can remember... Half the side is normally injured and their is no consistence performance in the bowling either.. I dont think its clever to define Pakistan and Australia as ``Evenly matched Teams``..

Chowkwala..

Adnan.

today I won a bet because I have learnt that Cricket nowadays is not played in the ground!
