Exactly, take these games as comedy 
4 runs after 5 overs? it would be okay if 1) didn't happen every single match. or 2) if we kept our wickets. you lose wickets early AND score no runs match after match. so embarrassing...
seems like we're the new minnows of cricket. we've played much better Aussie sides and competed much harder. the worst thing is that this squad is pretty much the best ODI squad we can put together. one of the lowest points of Pak cricket imo.
and Afridi of all people... as captain? jesus christ... someone give me some hope... some dilaasa...

Actually 1st ODI of this series was probably much better in this regard when Butt got it going but later things went down the drain faster.

and 3rd wicket gone .... Useless Khan .. i mean Younus Khan caught fishing ...something he likes already !
16 for 3 ... so what is the lowest ODI score ever by any team? are we up for getting the title?
la'anat-ul-azeem on kullo team...
Younis gone.
I hope our fascination with Younis Khan, an ODI player will be over after this game. Starting from January 2009 his performance was just going downhill and there was no point of playing him in this ODI series.

just turned on the TV… 40 runs in 17 overs!! … 3 wickets gone!! 
- koi haal nahi apni team ka.
may be I’ll start supporting Bangladesh… they’re minnows with no expectations, so any positive surprises are a heartening sight. On the other hand, our team is an epitome of wasted talent and opportunity in the hands of politics and mismanagement, and it just hurts to witness this reality on a daily basis.
TV off! I’ll catch up with the extent of the damage in the morning.
hey…LC…i think they r scoring pretty fast…coz last i checked they were 17\3 in 10 overs…so …u know they r accelerating…

Afsoos that our team in much better than Aus on papers still ??
Mental toughness is very important factor
Shoaib Malik Run Out -
Umar need not to throw his wicket now. He needs to play a big innings and must stay till the end, if they are left with any wicket.
100-4 in 29.5

when your least inexperienced batsman is the most successful one, it tells you about the tour in general! :)

I think you meant to say least experienced / most inexperience :)
This is the first time I'm watching Alam play and I have to admit that his technique is very sound . He should be a permanent member of this team in all formats..Tired of our old geezers who can't handle pressure.

haha yeah you are right! least experienced batsman....
Congratulations to Umar Akmal on his 50 !!!
