What are the reasons behind Australia's loss against India?
Well, at least something is better than nothing. They had experience of playing on these tracks, that could have made some difference.
What are the reasons behind Pakistan's series loss against Australia?
Yes, their batting did fail. But, it was difficult to bat against these Australian bowlers. Imam and Masood were playing for the first time in Australian conditions. Who knows if Amir and Wahab would have played the Australian batters could have scored less while batting and we would have seen some contest in this Test series. The bowlers were much weaker than their batsmen. The proper balance was laking according to me.
What are the reasons behind Pakistan's series loss against Australia?
They both looked disappointed. When someone asked Misbah in press conference, why suddenly after his appointment team has performed like this, he answered it in a very funny way that I might have told righty to play lefty and vice-versa and also mentioned that these boys are playing from last 3-4 years so they could have played better.
How to solve Pakistan's T20 issues
Yes, after losing 3-0 we can say that there was no proper planning by the coach and captain. But, there were many experienced players also who know what to do in a particular situation. Therefore, we cannot only blame the coach and the captain. Before Misbah too they have lost while chasing. Therefore, there is some mental pressure that this team has to fight while they are chasing. According to me, the whole team is responsible and not only the coach and the captain.
How to solve Pakistan's T20 issues
May be because of the experience he was in the playing XI. However, Waqar Younis while doing Hindi commentary did mention when Malik got out yesterday that this could be his last match for Pakistan.
What is the issue with Pakistan's batting?
He was there because he provides an extra bowling option if required.
What is the issue with Pakistan's batting?
Yes, this bowling unit can be dangerous when they get some movement after pitching the ball with some pace.
West Indies cop a reality check before the World Cup
I think the result of the final between both these teams will play a huge role mentally. Bangladesh would like to enter the World Cup with some positive result on their back. On the other side, West Indies did all the hard work in the series against England and just before World Cup losing against Bangladesh may affect their confidence. However, things will change when Gayle, Russell and Hetmyer will join the squad.
West Indies cop a reality check before the World Cup
Paul, Kapil batted either at number 6 or 7 and once even at 8 in this World Cup. And look when he got a chance to bat early against Zimbabwe, what wonders he did to the team and to his career. The important thing not to forget is the strike rate at which he used to bat and that to consistently in those days.
