Pak Defeat Against Kiwis, Worst Of My Career: Arthur

Abu Dhabi (November 21, 2018): Pakistan head coach Mickey Arthur described his team’s narrow defeat of four runs in the first test against New Zealand as the “worst of his coaching career”.

“This is probably one of the worst defeats I have ever faced in my career”, Arthur said.

“Everyone from myself as head coach to the players and the staff are hurting but we will use this defeat as a motivation to give our-self every opportunity to win the second game”, said Arthur.Arthur said his batsmen’s shot selection was poor, he refused to accept his batsmen were satisfied.

The guys tried unbelievably hard and everyone was disappointed from the decision of shot selection under pressure. We need to learn from this and move forward very, very quickly.

That’s the thing the batting unit needs to get over and that we need to chase down targets in fourth innings, said Arthur, before pointing to Pakistan’s failure to get a bigger first-innings lead than the 74 they managed after New Zealand’s 153.Team left its self too much to do in the fourth innings. We had that opportunity to nail this game off in the first innings but we let that go.
