Re: Pakistan v Bangladesh Asia Cup - 11 March 2012
It's not about weak batting lineup, we have a non-existent one. Wrong technique, even worse mental condition of the batters. You just don't go from 135/0 to 198/7. On odd brain dead instance once-in-a-while is forgivable, but when you know at the loss of one wicket, the whole platoon can follow for a matter of few runs, then it's better to manage your expectations.
We shouldn't be aiming for, nor think of ourselves as one of the best. Unless the batting (technique and mental level) is fixed and improved.
