At one stage Aussies were 41/6 but Wade and Faulkner took them to 120 but after their departure Aussies bundle to 148. So Pakistani cricket team performance were relatively good
New Zealand 307/8 (50.0 ov)
Australia 148 (24.2 ov)
New Zealand won by 159 runs

Yes, I always think NZ team is wayy better than Australia these days. Pakistan didnt do that bad. Now even with that bad team of Australia, India could barely win one ODI and that too courtesy of a marothon of dropped catches by Aussies, something ICC should definitely investigate.
Re: 1st ODI: New Zealand v Australia at Auckland, Feb 3, 2016
When talk of Khwaja was brought up, Warner asked - who else are they going to drop? That was not his place. One of the most prolific scorers does not find a place. There was no need for.him to justify that.
As for India "poor" performance, the OD results easily could have been 3 to 2 in India's favor but for "home field" advantage.
As for investigation on dropped catches, that is plain ridiculous. Catches do get dropped once in a while.
India is at the top in Test and T20. Won't know it reading the above post.

Pak team could've done much better but batting has always been our weakness.
Alongwith NZ nowadays Eng is also going strong, they scored 399/9 against SA today and SA is now struggling with their lone-warrior Q'kock otherwise all other batsmen perished cheaply.
