Pakistan may be on the verge of winning its first cricket Test against Australia in 15 years but the poor performance of three of the team's leading players has raised quite a few eyebrows.

According to a report in The News Saturday, the performances of the Akmal brothers - Kamran and Umar - and Shoaib Malik in the Headingley Test are under the microscope. Top Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials are not happy with the way they lost their wickets in the first innings of the crucial second Test against Australia Thursday.
