Arthur slams batsmen for failure to adapt - chairman - 12-17-2016
Pakistan coach says lessons practiced at training were abandoned under fire from Australia's quicks in Gabba collapse
Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur says his shell-shocked batsmen abandoned their plans under fire from Australia's quicks during a disastrous collapse at the Gabba.
Arthur said a lack of preparation was not to blame, but rather a failure to adapt in the heat of battle as the tourists lost 7-24, with only an unbeaten 59 from wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed adding respectability to the first innings of 142.
