Pakistan captain Misbahul Haq put the blame for the crushing second Test defeat at Old Trafford on the shoulders of the batsmen, saying that their output was unacceptable.‘Our batting was a big disappointment,’ said Misbah. ‘To get 198 and 234 on a good pitch - you can’t take that.’Pakistan leg-spinner Yasir Shah took 10-141 at Lord’s but only managed figures of 1-266 at Old Trafford.Misbah, at a loss to explain the discrepancy, felt that maybe Yasir’s workload was to blame, with the second Test coming hot on the heels of the first one. ‘It was tiredness maybe, a lot of overs - I don’t know,’ he said. ‘It was a big difference. But he is a strong character, and before the next Test he will analyse what went wrong - and come back.’Pakistan has three ‘reserve batsmen’ in their squad in Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Rizwan and Sami Aslam.They will hope to press their case for a Test call-up in a two-day tour game against Worcestershire starting on Friday. ‘It’s a chance for us and them at Worcester,’ said Misbah. ‘Some of them [the current top order] are getting starts but not converting those starts into bigger innings.’
