Australian media has heavily criticized their team following the ODI series defeat against Pakistan, stating that the Australian players looked like amateurs against Pakistan’s pace attack. They highlighted how Pakistan’s bowlers tore through Australia’s inexperienced middle order with ease.
After the loss in Perth, the media remarked that there was nothing left for Australia to celebrate. Although Spencer Johnson and Lance Morris, who returned from injury, bowled well, Steve Smith didn’t perform as expected, and Marnus Labuschagne was once again disappointing.
Glenn Maxwell fell victim to Haris Rauf in each of the three matches, making him an easy target. Jack Fraser lacked technique and footwork, flopping in all three matches. While he has talent, he couldn’t manage a single fifty in five games.
