Waqar Younis wants to remove 'unpredictable' tag bedeviling Pak cricket

Pakistan cricket team coach Waqar Younis wants to remove the 'unpredictable' tag that hovers over his side ahead of this week's final two ODIs against New Zealand.

Pakistan recorded their second biggest win over New Zealand, thrashing them by 147 runs, in the third day-night international in Sharjah on Sunday. The win came two days after they lost by four wickets in the second match, also in Sharjah.

With Pakistan leading the five-match series 2-1, Waqar wants consistency in the final two matches in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday and Friday. He said that they have to remove that tag, adding that saying that lack of consistency is no more a problem would be wrong but added that the effort is to develop a good team which can do well abroad, The Dawn reported.

Pakistan posted 364-7 in 50 overs, their highest total against New Zealand in all one-day cricket, before dismissing their rivals for 217 in 38.2 overs.

Waqar stressed that he wants to develop a good team. He said that they have not become world beaters by winning the match big, there is plenty to work and if they win consistently their performance should be so good so that even if they lose they are not hurt.
