Let's face it. Our batting is simply not good enough and way too erratic and inconsistent. Add to that our players' mental fragility and ability to self-destruct when seemingly set. We have been reduced to a 190-200 one-day team which simply won't do at international level. Had our batters applied themselves a bit more and posted decent totals of 260-270 consistently on these pitches, the result might have been different. This Aussie side is not unbeatable or special and can be put under pressure during run chase but not by hopeless totals of 200+/- . The 1-3 scoreline is more a reflection of our erratic and inconsistent batting than it is of the quality of Aussie bowling which is decent but nothing out of the ordinary.
And it goes without saying that we badly need both Yousuf and Razzaq
The bowlers can't really be faulted in this series. They have usu. kept it tight and restricted Australia to managebale totals.
