Series has been wrapped but there is plenty more to come from the UAE. Another ODI, then the Test matches. We will be back with all the reports and analysis. Thanks for your comments and feedback. This is Dev Fuloria signing off.. ciao ciao.
"Bowlers did a wonderful job to drag it back after Pakistan's start," Bailey says. "220-230 was a good total on that but a couple of nice partnerships nicely finished it. (Turn) It's something that we are working on and teams are preparing challenging conditions for us, but we are getting better."
"Poor display in the last 25 overs,"Misbah says. "If we had batted normally, we should have put 250, we could have defended it. We can only ask for better display from our side. Scoring 160, 200 against a top quality side, it's difficult to defend. You could say it was an improved performance today.. especially the opening batsmen and Asad Shafiq. The spinners bowled really well. These were the positives for us."
Sarfraz Ahmed gets an award for being the Master Blaster. Mitchell Johnson gets an award for being the best bowler of the match and another award for being the fastest bowler of the match. Ahmed Shehzad gets some dough for the most colourful innings. Glenn Maxwell gets an award for his reverse sweep.. (this is unending).. Davie Warner gets an award for something.. Finally.. the Man of the Match.. it's Glenn Maxwell.
"It's always a nice time to come back here," Maxwell says. "Hopefully we can make a clean sweep. I was just playing my role. Today I came in a different situation with the ball spinning.. Just tried to play to the situation and get close to the total. I hope i put in enough performances here and hope to get noticed when Test selection comes in."
Another series win for Australia against Pakistan.. the last one for Pakistan was in 2002. Glenn Maxwell played an anchoring hand to lead the chase and in the end, they hunt it down with ease. In the end, you have to look at the Pakistan batting collapse.. A century opening stand, followed by 89 for 10.. Easily, they were short by 40-50 runs. Pakistan fought hard with the ball, but there was just not enough to defend. Misbah said on the eve of the match that the confidence of the batsmen was "shaky" and today's performance is not going to boost it anyway. Stick around for the presentation.
