its not that how much they scored, it is the atttitude, Azhar Ali and Umer Amin played well, although were not able to make runs, but they showed the intent to play, they were at least trying to apply themselves on the wicket, whereas the way Akmals and Shoaib got out cannot be forgiven, they gifted their wickets, they were suppose to make runs, they were supposedly the best available in the current lot.. so is that the way for the best / exp. player to get out??? and that is in a test match.. Malik and Akmals should have stayed on the wicket, they should have at least tried to apply themselves, they should have made better shot-selection.. which we didn’t see… and as we all know, this is not the 1st time for this trio to act like this
So should have most of the Australian team stayed on the pitch. the point which you are totally ignoring and not taking into account is the way the pitch is playing.
