Feels like a very unlucky tour

We would have won the first test if the umpires had allowed us to bat as long as we were allowed to bat in Karachi

Second test we threw away in one crazy collapse

This test was overly influenced by two random events - (a) Stokes getting injured so we were down to two seamers, meaning our inconsistent spinners had to bowl more than we would have liked, and we were deprived of a powerful batsman; and (b) Reiffel's bizarre decision to over turn the onfield umpire on a caught behind when there was no Hotspot/Snicko and no way he could be sure that the decision was wrong. Added 150 to Pakistan's second innings

All in all, 2-0 feels harsh
