Same old story vs Windies. bowlers delivered, batsmen again disappointed, could not even chase 182

Pakistan can finish 7th place at best

5th Place Play-off Semi-Final: Pakistan Under-19s v West Indies Under-19s at Townsville, Aug 22, 2012 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that whether it is under-19, one-day or test cricket, Pakistan lose more games because of their inconsistent batting (barring one or two brilliant individuals in every team) rather than the bowling. No point moaning too much about the fielding because it will never improve beyond a certain level no matter who we hire as fielding coach.

Batting has always been the main cause of our downfall

Even in the shortest format (T-20) our average score is like a pathetic 130-140 runs and bowlers have contributed to most of the wins

Infact I cannot remember a single T20 game where Pakistan successfully chased a formidable (160+) total against anyone. It is always the other way around; bowlers defending a below-par total

Make it 8th. They cant be that good and lose 3 matches back to back.
