Lol absolutely shocking result.

Somehow Pakistan is #3 ranked in the world in ODIs.

Doesn’t matter, they will still drop a game vs Zimbabwe.

It is easy to over react to one result, but this Australian team look to be in a world of trouble. The batting lineup looks completely out of form and I'm not sure if there is much quality waiting in the wings behind them? Marnus seems to just stand there offering no shots at all until he is inevitably dismissed.

I feel Australia is biting the bullet for not blooding enough new players over the years.

It is difficult to get into the Australian team but even more difficult to get out of the Australian team it seems.

Some pressure might be coming on to George Bailey.

Lets Warner decide to have a test farewell tour instead of blooding new openers.
Our bowlers have won us most games but at some point most of the world must be use to facing the same Australian bowling attack.
