A scintillating innings by Kamran Akmal won the day for Pakistan. 2-3 looks lot better than 1-4. Thanx to Misbah and Akmal’s 116 of 115 balls, his fifth ODI century.

Australia won the series. This wasn’t an easy win for them, but at the end, the came out better. Pakistan needs to think a lot. Especially their batting needs a lot of improvement. If I am an opponent, this side (batting) is not going make me worried. There are good players but no-one like Inzi, or Yousaf, they are okay. And non serious at times.
They have to their game up. And before I forget, I don’t see a reason why we are persisting with Kamaran Akmal (other than some strong PERCHEE). He is an average keeper and even a less batsman, remember couple of odd innings don’t make you a great player. It’s the consistency that counts the most.

Wow! I have no idea, how they did it, but does it really matter? Thing is, Pakistan have won their first ODI against Australia. And it’s important to note that this was only a second win in their last 12 ODIs (over nearly seven years) against them.
Many were predicting before the series that spin would play the key role, but no one could have imagined this far; Australia losing 8 for 27. And above all it was Afridi, who did the damage. Shahid Afridi and Saeed Ajmal gone through their defenses brutally, leaving them clueless. The damage caused by Shahid Afridi’s career-best 6 for 38 had all but forced Australia out of the match before even the halfway stage of their innings. Recently Aussies showed a power performance against the spins of South Africa and the nightmare continues in Dubai. Clark is defending it’s side but the truth is, playing spin is their weakest area in recent times.
Having said all the above, Australia is still a better team and they’ll not let Pakistan go with the series easily. I am sure, we’ll see more aggressive Aussies in the coming matches.
At the end, for Pakistan: Well done and be cautious “boys” ….
