Has the Pakistan team surrendered in New Zealand - Are they simply waiting for the tour to end?

I get the impression the guys just want to come home now.

This is what happens when the opposition completely and thoroughly demolishes you. Reminds me of the Australian tour of 2009-10.

Serious failure of Sarfaraz and Mickey Arthur to rejuvenate the squad in difficult circumstances. This is what they are paid for.
 
Pak players have been enjoying home weather since CT. If they are home sick, then its a silly excuse.

Pak has been thoroughly out played. Out bowled, out batted and out fielded. NZ is a vastly superior team in their home conditions. I am a bit surprised by this abject surrender to kiwis. Thought Pak would compete and in fact win the ODI and T20 series. Pitches are flat and grounds are tiny. There is some bounce. But to me, the pitches are similar to the CT pitches.

The likes of Hasan Ali, Amir have failed to deliver. Zaman was okay. But Pak needed more than a more 40 or 50 from him. Babar was a massive failure and the rest of the batting was mediocre.

Boult and Guptill/Munro destroyed Pak.

English pitches don't really have much bounce which suits our batsmen. The surfaces here are also drier than NZ who have drop-in pitches and so its harder to get the reverse swing that we saw in the CT.
 
When the captains panting after facing 5 balls & doing splits.. thats got inzys fittness regime written all over.
 
Mental block as usual. You could see them playing tuk tuk against dollies. Okay you are 50-6, but whats the excuse of missing full-tosses?
