    "editor1": "Shaheen Shah Afridi: Former cricketer Damien Fleming said Pakistan had employed bizarre bowling tactics during their entire Test series against Australia, especially during day four of the Sydney game.\n<p>In the third Test, Pakistan were tasked with keeping Australia to less than 130 runs to get an improbable win. But they decided against giving the new ball to the in-form Aamir Jamal, who took six wickets in the first innings, much to the surprise of many.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It meant they lost crucial time to make inroads, which eventually set the base for the defeat in Sydney and suffered a 3-0 series sweep. \u201cBizarre tactics though (from) Pakistan. We\u2019ll look back and go, \u2018Gee they had a good crack at this series\u2019, particularly (at) the MCG, if they caught better and controlled their extras.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cHow Jamal didn\u2019t open the bowling in this second innings, I want to know why. He hasn\u2019t bowled with the ball at all in the whole series\u2026. And Salman (Ali Agha) is their best spinning option, it\u2019s bizarre,\u201d said Fleming on SEN Radio.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It was only after lunch on day four of the Sydney Test that, with Australia needing 33 to win that Jamal was finally introduced in the bowling attack in the 20th over. But the match had already reached the foregone conclusion stage in terms of result, as Australia eventually won by eight wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cDo you reckon? Surely not. He hasn\u2019t opened the bowling throughout, he should\u2019ve at least gotten the second new ball in the first innings. But he\u2019s so much clearly the fastest and bounciest\u2026 I didn't mind Hamza opening with him but straight it\u2019s Salman. Absolutely bizarre,\u201d added Fleming.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pakistan will now play a five-match T20I series in New Zealand from January 12 to 21, where fast-bowling spearhead Shaheen Shah Afridi will be the captain, in preparation for the 2024 Men\u2019s T20 World Cup, happening in West Indies and USA from June 1-29.<\/p>\r\n\r\n",
