It wasn’t so bad a series for Pakistan as they were struggling with an opening pair and competitive support bowler for Shoaib Akhter who had handful of own problems (mostly instigated). I wonder why we have to have a discussions over a stale event ?
Next Pak-Aus series could be an interesting encounter and you can discuss all you want.

I know Pakistan play Australia at home in Feb 2008 and our next away series is not until Nov. 2009. But since the Ashes is going on and many in the media are savaging and criticising England for their abject surrender on the final day at Adelaide, **I just thought that I should point out that ever since the demise of West Indies as a test team **(Windies last beat Australia in Australia in 1992) , England have performed a lot better in Australia compared to all other tests teams. You don’t often see teams scoring 500+ runs in a test innings in Australia.
