win in South Africa in 2007, said that the scoring rate of the Pakistani batsmen was a big concern. "On the third day last session our batsmen scored at just two runs per over when we should have been going after their bowling. You look at their batting they kept on scoring at around four per over all the time to put our bowling under pressure," he said. Inzamam said he was always available to help the Pakistan team and if the board asked him again to work with the players he would definitely give it a thought. "After the Indian tour I don't know but the board didn't talk to me about going to South Africa as batting consultant," he said. Pakistan's former captain, Moin Khan said that the national team needed to play positive cricket not only on the field but in their minds. "You can only beat a top side if you believe you can do it. I thought we had the second test in the bag but we didn't go for the kill when required," he said.
