If only our tail can do what England did yesterday

2 left.

This will be our first official home test series defeat since 2008

9 down

OK, surely that's it.

In fairness, I think Aus have been the better side, so while it's not great that Pakistan have collapsed today, I think the overall result of the series is justified.

Yeah hard to disagree with that.

It's all over now. Austalia win by 115 runs. Well done to Australia.

Well deserved. No complaints. Only one team wanted to win that series

Pakistan. Shambles

Cummins is something else, what a bowler.

He is the best without the doubt. The best since Dale Steyn.

Very modest guy too.

I think if Pakistan prepared seeming green wickets that would dry up over the 5 days they would have had a chance. We know Aussies find the seeming ball very hard to deal with. Were Pakistan trying to draw to guarantee test champ points, get all 5 days of cricket, not really sure what the angle is here. I think Pakistan would have been capable of at least winning a test had the pitches been better.

He and Hazlewood I rate very highly. Not quite sure how Starc takes wickets, but in fairness he's very good at cleaning up the tail so there's that.

Khawaja absolute revelation since the Ashes. Honestly had the guy down as another Shaun Marsh, very talented, but ultimately not quite up to it, happy to be proven very wrong. Absolutely insane numbers, hope he keeps it up. Aussie batting unit starting to look pretty strong.

I think getting the world test championship points angle might not be far off the mark.

These are typical Pakistan wickets though. Flat day 1-3 and then it will turn. Only problem is that Lyon is head and shoulder above our spinners while the pace bowlers extracted more reverse than ours.

You beat us at our game which is the highest compliment.

Why does the Pakistan bowling attack seem to change so radically all the time?

Well done Australia. Dominant throughout the series. Out played us in the batting and bowling department. If they weren’t a bit sloppy in the field this series could’ve been over a long time ago.

Over to us, we are going to struggle big time in home conditions unless we unearth some world class spinners. India bring in their 5th or 6th choice spinners and run through the opposition.

Losing to Australia was expected. I doubt many Pakistan fans thought we'd win the series. It was only a 1-0 defeat. I'm not sure what's so hilarious about it.
By your logic I should laugh at Man United losing to Man City and Liverpool despite the fact it's expected.
