This is not their home, none of these players played in Pakistan before; they came here and play brave cricket. The bowlers didn\u2019t know when the ball reverses in such conditions but both, Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins put in the hard hours to learn the skills of the trade here. Nathan Lyon, who hasn\u2019t toured Pakistan yet, took a five-wicket haul.\u201d<br \/>\nAustralia produced an emphatic performance on Day 5 of the final Test against Pakistan to clinch the three-match series 1-0 in Lahore. Setting up a 351-run target for the hosts to win, Australia bowled Pakistan out on 235, with spinner Nathan Lyon taking a five-wicket haul (5\/83). The hosts suffered a middle-order collapse during the second session of the final day, as Pat Cummins was eventually rewarded for a brave declaration call on Day 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD Pakistan\u2019s pace sensation Shoib Akhtar on Friday lashed out at the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the team management for their lackluster approach in the recently concluded test series against Australia \u2013 which Pakistan lost 1-0, while praising Cummins and co. for being \u201cbrave.\u201d \u201cAbsolutely disappointing series, this.
