I would say that people create too much hype about the Pakistan team's performances when I don't see any consistency in the team. Without any consistency how can one think that they are a good cricketing nation 
One of the major problems of Pakistani cricket is their lack of consistency. I have seen few matches of last Asia Cup where Pakistan performed very well. I was sure that Pakistan might win the Asia Cup. Pakistan won against several teams including India, Afghanistan, Hong Kong and Bangladesh but lost against Sri Lanka in the final. Again their performance was good in World Cup cricket but they could not score runs in the final match. All in all they have potential but they are not able to utilize that potential. When consistency comes into their game they can be hopeful of victory in any tournament.Pakistan has been playing cricket for a very long time. It is a shame that we still have to say Pakistan has some potential. By this time, there should be one of the finest teams in the world, not a potentially good team. They should have been able to compete against the most competitive teams like Australia, England, and India, and not have one-sided losses. We can often see that Pakistan loses key matches.
It always feels like Pakistanis only keeping their opponent, in a good fight, but not performing well enough to win in many cases. Just like the World Cup final. Pakistan should have been able to do much better. But in the end, the only thing we could say was that Pakistan had given Australia a good fight.
