There were many explanations for Pakistan's sorry plight in Sri Lanka where Younis Khan's men became the first visitors from their country to suffer a Test series defeat on Tuesday.

"You can expect anything from Pakistan. They are so unpredictable," the experts kept telling you as the Pakistanis lost wicket after wickets on the third day of their second Test in Colombo to finally lose the match by seven wickets.

Unpredictability alone, however, cannot explain why Pakistan could throw away nine wickets for a mere 35 runs after having dominated the same Sri Lankan attack for almost two preceding sessions and at times plundered it for runs, almost at will.

It cannot explain why a rookie, on Test debut, could master both the pacers and slow bowlers to muster up 168 with an enviable ease, while most of his more experienced and illustrious team-mates couldn't even reach the double figures. Neither Younis Khan's explanation that his team has gone through three horrific batting collapses in four innings because it lacks Test exposure.

After outplaying Sri Lanka for the first three days, Pakistan cricket team was surprisingly all out on the fourth day when it lost their last eight batsmen for 46 runs, giving the visitors a dramatic 50-run victory in the first cricket Test at the Galle International Stadium.

Chasing a modest target of 168, Pakistan were collapsed from a seemingly impregnable 71-2 to 117 all out in their second innings before lunch on the fourth day.

Pakistan’s astonishing defeat gave Sri Lanka a 1-0 lead in the three-Test series, the first between the two nations since gunmen attacked the Sri Lankan team bus in the Pakistani city of Lahore on March 3.

A stunned Pakistan captain Younis Khan said the team's lack of Test cricket -- just three Tests in the last 18 months -- had proved costly.

The team who a few days ago emerged as the champions of the World Twenty20 Cup could not achieve an easy target despite dominating the game for three successive days.

What do you think were the factors behind this defeat?

                        Pori qoam ko Pakistan ki jeet boht mubarak ho. Allah ka lakh lakh shukar hae k Pakistan 17 saal bad (1992-2009) aik bar phir World Champion bun chuka hae. Ye sb team k one unit ho kar khelne, pori qoam ki duaon or Allah k fazal-o-karam se mumkin hoa hae.

                         Tournament k aghaz me aisa lag raha tha k Pakistani team jeetne k iraday se ground me nein utri. Pehle 2 warmup matches me Pakistani team ko boht buri tara shikast hoi. tahem log pur umeed thay k abhi asal marka shuru nein hoa. Lekin pehle he pool match me shikast ne awam ko apni team se mayoos kr dia. Lekin is shikast k bad to goya Pakistan Team aik zakhmi sher bun gai. Umar Gul, Shahid Afridi, Saeed Ajmal ki tabah kun bowling ne mukhalif teams ki batting line up k parkhachay urha diye. Super Eight me Sri Lanka se shikast Pakistan k liye wake up call sabit hoi. Pakistan ne apni weaknesses per ghor karte hoay unhein door kia or baqi tamam matches me Pakistan team aik bilkul mukhtalif roop me nazar aai.
