We should look at our own weaknesses and try and eliminate them. |

That hardly seems like a "rant" Rachael. I'm exteremly disapointed that you have blamed Inzamam for whinning about the flatness of the Multan pitch, there was talk about it the local press, there always is, because that is what the press is there for, but Inzamam for once is the last person I would expect to moan about the pitches. Pakistan loss that test because we didn't bowl well enough, not because the pitch wasn't suited to our type of bowling.
