Renowned cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle has shared his opinion on Pakistan's approach during the final and deciding Test match against Australia, claiming that Pakistan did not approach the game correctly.

Pakistan were set a 351-run target and were bowled out by the Australian bowlers - ultimately losing the match by 115 runs and thus the three-match Test series as well.

Sharing his thoughts on the approach of both teams, Harsha Bhogle took it to Twitter and wrote: "You just have to admire the way Australia play test cricket. That was a classic win set up by a declaration that I think addressed the mindset of the Pakistan players. From what I saw, I don't think they believed they could win. If you only block, you are in trouble most days."

In a post-match interview, Pakistan captain Babar Azam rejected the idea that Pakistan displayed a "defensive mindset" and added that the Men in Green played according to the situation.

"We didn’t play with a defensive mindset; instead, we played in accordance with the situation, with a positive attitude, and a desire to reach the goal. Back-to-back dismissals, however, altered the game’s dynamics," said Babar.

There has been a lot of criticism aimed towards not only the Pakistan national team for their approach but also against the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for the questionable pitch curation.

It remains to be seen how the team will bounce back in the upcoming Test series after a home defeat by the Aussies.
