Pakistan legendary batsman Javed Miandad has slammed Misbah-ul-Haq's team for displaying a shambolic performance during their 150-run humiliating defeat against the West Indies in the World Cup Pool B tie in Christchurch.

Writing in his column for the ICC, Miandad said that shambolic was a mild word as it really hurts to see the planning of Pakistan's think-tank, Sport24 reported.

The former skipper further said that there were no king cobras on the pitch, and it was simply game, set and match at one for four after Pakistan's top order was rolled over by Taylor.

Pakistan suffered their second consecutive loss of the tournament after Misbah's men were thrashed by defending champions India in their opening game.

The match also saw Pakistan setting a new record for the worst start to a one-day international innings as they were reeling at 1-4 in the fourth over.
