The scorecard tells the story

"No other team has plumbed such depths in the last half a century and more, and this display of spineless batting on a wicket which, as the Australians had amply demonstrated, held no demons," the newspaper said.

The Dawn newspaper slammed selectors for sending out such an inexperienced team.

Star batsmen Inzamam-ul Haq, Yousuf Youhana and Saeed Anwar were unavailable for the match.

"It was simply pathetic, and that too on a wicket favouring batsmen," the Dawn reported.

"By asking the young players to face world champions Australia head on without being battle-hardened and experienced, the PCB has done a great disservice to them."

Further criticism was levelled at the team from the Urdu-language newspaper Nawa-e-Waqt.

"The ouster in the second innings for 53 runs proves (either) that the team entirely collapsed under Australian pressure or that the Australian bowlers had hypnotised the batsmen," it said.
