Former Australian cricketers took their team to task after losing the ODI series to Pakistan.
Australia’s former Test captain Michael Clarke, while criticizing the rest of key players in the third ODI against Pakistan, said that I think the world champion did not care about losing.
It should be noted that Pakistan won the series against the host team after 22 years after defeating Australia in the deciding match of the ODI series on Sunday.
Australia decided to rest Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Steve Smith and Marence Lebouchen in this crucial match while Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head were already on paternity leave.
According to Australian media, Pat Cummins went home to Sydney to rest after playing the first two ODIs and went to the Coldplay concert with his wife Becky on Sunday night, while Test wicketkeeper Alex Carey was in the domestic ODI Cup. have been
On his Big Sports Breakfast radio show on Monday, Michael Clarke said that it is being said that Australia preferred winning the five-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy with India over winning the ODI series against Pakistan.
He said that there are still eleven days left in the first test, why can’t the Australian boys who are part of this test series play one day?
If Australia had won the first two matches, we can understand that they would have rested their players, but now you can’t expect fans to want to come and watch ODI cricket.
On the other hand, former Australian cricketer and coach Mike Hussey said that there is no place where 5 players are sat out before an important match, the Australian batting has been exposed in all three matches.
Former Australian player Brendan Javelin said that the defeat is shameful, the schedule has been an issue, 5 players are not seated before the decisive match.
