GROS ISLET, (Reuters) – Pakistan coach Waqar Younis  refused to blame his side after they were on the receiving end  of an astonishing Australia fightback in yesterday’s Twenty20 World  Cup semi-final in St Lucia.

Australia needed an unlikely 53 to win from 21 balls but  Michael Hussey turned the game on its head with a breathtaking  60 not out in just 24 balls, including three sixes and a four in successive balls in the last over.

“I can’t really blame anyone. I thought we bowled pretty  well and batted outstandingly,” Waqar told reporters after his  team’s three-wicket defeat.

“I still can’t believe it.

“All you can do is just smile about it. You can only try your best. I thought we did our best. What else can you do?

“It was an unbelievable innings (by Hussey), you don’t see  many like that around. The way he maneouvered the ball was  excellent … the way he struck it was just amazing,” said the  former Pakistan paceman.

Waqar said Cameron White’s 43 in 31 balls set the tone for  the opposition’s successful run-chase after Pakistan had  totalled a mighty 191 for six.

“The Australians were too good for us today,” he said. “I  don’t think we went wrong anywhere, we did a good job but you’ve  just got to give credit to the Australians for the way they  batted.

REAL DAMAGE

“They kept the momentum with them all the way especially  Cameron White’s innings … then Hussey did the real damage.

“It’s hard to beat them when they’ve still got (good)  batters coming in at number nine. They can maybe improve a  little bit in their bowling but they are a very fine batting  side.”

Waqar attached no blame to spinner Saeed Ajmal, who bowled  the last over, or on skipper Shahid Afridi who handed him the  ball.

“Saeed Ajmal bowled superbly in the last game we played but  what can you do when someone is batting like that?,” said the  coach.

“Saeed Ajmal has been our best bowler in this entire  tournament, and in the last couple of years. You cannot really  blame him.”

Waqar expects a classic final when Australia take on England  in Barbados on Sunday.

“It’s going to be a very good game,” he said. “We’ve seen a  great game here and I’m looking forward to another thriller in  the final.

“They are both playing really well. England are on top of  their form.

“It’s just a matter of holding your nerves in the final. But  the way Australia played today, they are very dangerous,” added  Waqar.
