ODI no. 3275
Jun 16, 2012
The five guys -- Hafeez, Akmal, Khan, Afridi and Ahmed -- who were expected to put runs on the board contributed a combined 1 run! Ajmal, a pure bowler, scored 12 runs. Had those guys scored nine to ten runs each at a good strike rate, Pakistan could have won.
There was only one positive for Pakistan: Azhar Ali. He was not out at 81 in the end and now he has become only the second batsman from Pakistan to carry his bat in an ODI. Misbah also played his part by scoring an efficient fifty but the rest were epic failures. Let's see if they play any better after this humiliation.
