No sympathy for Pakistan, says Waugh
SHARJAH, Oct 12: Australia’s captain Steve Waugh promised not to show Pakistan any mercy after a massive innings victory inside two days.
“There will be no sympathy in the third Test because we are looking at a clean sweep,” Waugh said.
“It was a clinical and professional finish,” Waugh said, but admitted he had not expected a result in two days.
“It’s hard to understand why Pakistan’s batting capitulated. It’s a bit concerning that one of the best sides in the game goes down in the 50s twice in one match.
“We played exactly as we had planned, but never thought Pakistan would succumb so easily. We pressurised them all through the two innings and our four bowlers bowled very, very well.
A dejected captain Waqar Younis said he would plead with his young team to “forget this match as fast as they can.”
“We did not play well, the batsmen played poorly,” Waqar said. “Their inexperience was exposed by a professional side.”—AFP
