Things cannot get worse than that. The players know that. Yet, the team has not appeared to have suffered. Most importantly, they did it professionally. The PCB has come out publicly in declaring that the team's objective is to beat Australia in Australia.
Much press is given to the 'plight' of Australian teams in the Subcontinent.
But little is mentioned of the difficulty of playing in Australia. Not only is it more difficult for a batsman, for example, to come from low bouncing wickets in Pakistan to bouncy ones like the WACA in Australia. Let us not forget that the crowds in Australia can be equally, often more intimidating than those found on the Subcontinent. So defeating Australia at home will be difficult, but far from impossible. The batting is looking much better than before.
