Pakistan are under intense scrutiny following a lacklustre display in the first test of their Australia tour, suffering a resounding 360-run defeat. The formidable Australian side showcased their supremacy by outclassing the visitors in every aspect of the game, leaving their rivals grappling for answers.

Amidst the disappointment, former cricketer Ramiz Raja has added fuel to the fire with his scathing remarks on the Pakistan’s performance. Known for his forthright opinions the 61-year-old, did not hold back in criticizing the team, highlighting the gravity of the situation.

Ramiz Raja’s comments

Raja expressed disappointment over Pakistan’s performance, highlighting the absence of clear intent and adaptive technique in their follow-up. According to the former PCB chief, their swift collapse in just 31 overs during the second innings reflected the superior level at which the Australians played.

The harsh comments from a seasoned cricketing figure like Raja only amplify the pressure on the team, necessitating introspection and strategic re-calibration as they look to redeem themselves in the ensuing matches of the series against a dominant team like Australia that too on their home soil.

“Intent and technique were both missing from Pak’s ‘resistance menu’. Blown away in just 31overs in the second knock was disappointing. Aussies were on another level,” Raja wrote on X.

Pakistan’s flop show at Perth

Pakistan endured a disappointing Test match at Perth, encountering batting struggles in both innings. Despite the noteworthy accomplishment of debutant Aamer Jamal, who claimed a five-wicket haul in the first innings, the Shan Masood-led side couldn’t halt the Australians from posting substantial scores. The team’s collective batting failure and an inability to contain the hosts from scoring proved challenging factors for them throughout the match.
