What Happen to Pakistan?
At Sidney Pakistan must be kicking themselves for letting a great opportunity has gone from their hand. They can blame only themselves for this unfortunate event.
Admittedly their tactics against Michael Hussey and Peter Siddle were hugely inexplicable, but 176 should have been achievable against a rookie quick, a spinner still finding his way in international cricket and not destined for greatness, a promising but underachieving new-ball bowler, and a genuine quick only just back in form. But Pakistan have always been more about talent than about steel and it was the latter quality that was needed here. You sensed that the result that eventually arrived was round the corner.
About a year ago there were indications that, for the first time, Pakistan weren't throwing up the kind of explosive talent they seem to store in their belly. Since then Mohammad Aamer has arrived, and he is here to stay for a long time, and Umar Akmal will be one of the better players in their history. Only six matches old, he is already the second best batsman in this team. But when talent is not backed by a reverence towards work ethic, it loses its way pretty rapidlyas another fine player, Mohammad Asif, discovered before he was hauled back from the precipice. One day I want to know what players from Pakistan seek from the game, because a lot of them sell themselves very short. I sometimes fear too that the Pakistan Cricket Board is a bit like the Indian Hockey Federation - happier with the perks of the job than an intense desire for the greater good of the game.

Hopefully there are a couple of opening batsmen among the many uncut diamonds that are strewn there, who they can stick with. Every great team in world cricket has used a top pair of openers as the base from which to mount an attack. West Indies, with Greenidge and Haynes; Australia, first with Taylor and Slater and then with Hayden and Langer; and if you want to go further back, with Lawry and Simpson, Barnes and Morris, Woodfull and Ponsford. Perhaps only the fine West Indies team of the mid-sixties, which had 10 excellent players and someone to open with Conrad Hunte, would be an exception.
