"By hook or by crook (Cricket Australia) having aggressive mindset to win the match and this historic series," the former skipper said in a tweet after the end of the third day.

"But on the other side I don’t know," he said about Pakistan's performance.

The Karachi Test between Pakistan and Australia has become a nightmare for the Pakistan cricket team.

Pakistani batters, and also the bowlers, looked helpless and it seemed that they were playing at some away venue instead of playing at their strongest fort.

Pakistan were bowled out for 148 runs, playing 53 overs and surviving only 264 minutes, in response to Australia’s 559 that came from 189 overs and 792 minutes on a venue where Australia has never won a Test match.

The first-innings trail of 408 runs in the Karachi Test is Pakistan’s heaviest first innings deficit at any home venue since the country got the Test status.
