The problem, according to Mohammad Yousuf, is more about not going on to get big scores when set, rather than being out of form or poorly-equipped to handle Australian conditions. Yousuf himself is emblematic of the problem; he has had starts in most innings on this tour and looked in good touch, but has only one fifty to show for it. That is one of five fifties Pakistan's batsmen have scored over two Tests, and nobody has yet scored a hundred. Yousuf has blamed Pakistan's veer towards Twenty20 cricket as the root cause of failure: they have crossed 350 just twice in their last 16 innings and haven't batted 100 overs even once on this tour. He said Pakistan's batsmen lacked the patience for the longer format.

Umar Akmal has looked Pakistan's best batsman after Yousuf in this series, though he has thrown away starts on a couple of occasions. He is the side's top-scorer in the series so far and was so in New Zealand before this.

The view is not shared by his counterpart Ricky Ponting, who believes Pakistan have just not selected the right players. "It depends who they pick, doesn't it?" Ponting said. "They're picking strokeplayers and dashers. They don't have to pick those guys in their side. I'm sure there are other guys around Pakistan that can play Test cricket. Shoaib Malik is a great example, he's someone who can bat long periods of time but there he is sitting on the sidelines.
