Another Pakistan Collapse

Pakistan is at it again. After a promising start, and being at 266 for 4 when Inzamam-ul-Haq was dismissed, Pakistan went on to losse the next 6 wickets for only 75 runs! Mohammed Yousuf flunked. Hasan Raza burnt, and if it wasnt for a resilient 33 by Kamran Akmal, Pakistan may have been dismissed for less than 300. The middle order collapse is inexcusable in every way. After Salman Butt's wonderful innings, and Inzamam's almost routine Captain's knock, someone had to come through, and no one did.

They were lucky to get Trescothick out with a ball that kept low, but only another 170 runs is probably an easily acheivable target. Pakistan lost a great opportunity.
