This is the problem with Pakistan. We can go from one extreme to the other in batting in a matter of days
Just 3 days ago our batting looked decent but today we witnessed another woeful (and now familiar) batting slump
At the half way mark it seemed like we might be chasing 200-210. The bowlers did well to pull things back a bit in the last 10 overs
168 was always going to be a stiff chase but we should have atleast gone down fighting. To be bowled out for 74 is embarrassing
Today's result also makes a mockery of ICC's T20 rankings. Australia certainly are one of the favourites to win T20 World Cup
Malik needs to go (can't bowl, can't bat). And Imran Nazir seems low on confidence at the moment. looks scared and very "get-out-able" to me (no foot movement)

I dun agree with the bold part Sorry
Even they lost their control over the game when they lost Watson WArner after a great stand ......Our bowlers just conceded 58 runs in the remaning 9 overs i think
I would not guage a country's form from ICC rankings. After just one defeat today, Pakistan have lost 7 points and slid down to 6th place, so bizzare are the T20 rankings. Australia move up to 9th place
Australia do lack a good spinner but the way they have played in the last two games has given me enough reason to believe that they will do well in world T20. I would be very surprised if the Aussies don't make the semis atleast
Australia have more six-hitters . Today they hit an incredible 12 sixes. In the last game they hit 8. We managed to hit just 1 six in both games (Nasir, Yasir)
as soon as Pakistani team without Afridi loses the fan-boys show up "this would not have happened if Afridi was in the game"... and when Pakistan loses with Afridi in the game they say 'he can't win you every game' :D

How many boundaries did they hit in 1st T20I?
