I choose to believe that Pakistan have cleaned up their act, and their "form" that you speak of is from over 2 years ago.
I think there was big choking from both sides in that second innings. It's a shame, but it happens and the Pakistan tail aren't exactly the most intelligent batsmen. After seeing India's fielding display in Australia last Summer, I am not convinced any of them know how to field. It looks like they think that when they are put in a position to field, they are just supposed to stand there until the end of the over, at which time the field turns around.
The crowds throughout this tour have been awesome, the stadium buzzes from the first ball right through to the last. I love seeing these two sides clash, and I hope for more of it in the future, because it's always a special contest when these two come together
