Pakistan have been defeated by 5 wickets in the second ODI against West indies. Both West Indies although ranked 10th and Pakistan ranked 4th are equally talented and equally matched teams. Pakistan were unlucky they lost the toss as the trend in this ODI series shows that who so ever wins the toss wins the match by batting second.
Pakistan took a Conservative approach to batting and played a lot of dot balls just like teams in the 1980's used to do. Modern day cricket requires a more proactive approach and an attacking approach to batting playing 360 degree shots all over the ground. Pakistan doesnt play with the modern day approach to batting.
Also never disturb a winning combination and I think Pakistan should have stuck with the same team as they played in the first ODI.
In the end what I would like to say is that if Pakistan finds it hard to compete against a low ranked team like West indies then I am sorry to say Pakistan cannot compete against the top ranked teams like Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, England and India.
