Replying to Pakistan team director Mohammad Hafeez's comments concerning the events of Australia vs Pakistan, 2nd Test, the Iceland Cricket Association, which has gained a dedicated and growing Internet fan following for its snappy tweets, brought up a fact-checking post that indicated just how dismal the Men in Green have been in Australia historically. ICA's reply came in the wake of Hafeez's statement claiming that Pakistan were the better of the two teams in Melbourne. (Scorecard | Cricket News)
"It's amazing. How can the more talented and superior team have lost 16 matches in a row in Australia? Surely those lucky Aussies will stop being lucky soon," said a tweet by ICA.

Unsurprisingly, Hafeez's comments had not gone down too well in Australia, with the Aussie skipper Pat Cummins shutting him down by pointing toward the team that stood triumphant in the end.
“Ahhhh. Cool. They played well. I am glad we got the win. It doesn’t really matter, does it? It is the team who wins at the end,” replied Cummins, according to news.com.au.
For the record, the last time Pakistan won a Test match in Australia was during their tour of 1995-96 when the Wasim Akram-led side escaped with a 74-run victory at the Sydney Cricket Ground -- in the third and final match of the tour, after having already lost the series 2-0. Pakistan have since suffered 16 successive defeats Down Under, as stated in the ICA post..
Pakistan and Australia will contest their final Test starting January 3, with the latter already having claimed the series.
