Pakistan pacers have let their team down unable to restrict Australia on a track that offered variable bounce, former captain Azhar Ali commented after a humiliating 360-run defeat at the hands of Australia in the opening game in Perth.
Azhar, one of the finest players to have donned Pakistan whites, still plays first-class cricket and very recently scored his 49th first-class hundred.
“The sort of uneven bounce we saw on the fourth day is no surprise Pakistan was bowled out for 89. It was very difficult coping with that awkward variable bounce all the time,” Azahar said.
