Only the greenshirts can do this twice in one series
Lack of communication between players was on full display in series against England

Pakistan's cricket team has managed to pull off what no other team could. Don't get excited, this isn't anything to be proud of.
The greenshirts left everyone stunned when in the span of four days, four players of the team landed on the same side of the crease.
As the cricket rule book states, to score a run, you have to change ends, but in the first T20 against England, Sohaib Maqsood and Umar Akmal were so involved in the chase that they ended up at the same end, trying to run past each other.
And if that was not enough, Pakistan might have set another record on Monday, by successfully repeating what they did four days ago.
Batsmen, Muhammad Hafeez and Rafataullah Mohmand, in an attempt to run for a second run, were seen approaching the striker's end. This time Hafeez was beaten to the ribbon by Rafatullah.
As many claim, that there have been incidents where a players ends up in no man’s land, but such acts of selfishness or naivety, are almost impossible to find even in Guinness Book of Records.
Meanwhile, Pakistani cricket fans did not let go of the chance to troll Pakistan teams' chase or should we say trust issues?
Here are some priceless reactions:
Most Pakistani fans would have had the same feeling
... Coming first is not always the best thing
Surely, even Malik had no answer to Hafeez's running blunders
Making Pakistan cricket proud, just the wrong way
Valid point! That's what happens when you have two commitments at the same time, you have to sacrifice one of them
A point for all the youngsters, that's how you drag your bat to reduce the run out chance
Apparently, winter is already here
And surely Muhammad Amir is loving this
What a way to pay tribute to your legend!
