    "editor1": "<p>Brisbane, Dec 18 (CRICKETNMORE): Pakistan&#39;s veteran batsman Younis Khan&#39;s mode of dismissal on the fourth day of the first cricket Test against Australia prompted legend Waqar Younis on Sunday to criticise the right-hander.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After a golden duck in the first innings, Younis played a composed innings to notch up the 32nd Test match half-century of his career on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pakistan were chasing a big target of 490 runs and were reduced to 165\/4.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Younis used all his experience to score 65 but -- with Australia five-and-half overs away from taking the new ball -- he tried an ill-advised reverse sweep off spinner Nathan Lyon and was caught at first slip by Steve Smith.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It pushed Pakistan deeper into trouble at 173\/5 in their battle to save the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Khan&#39;s thought process of trying such an audacious shot, with his team in deep trouble, left Waqar flabbergasted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;That is ridiculous. That is so irresponsible,&quot; the former fast bowler said on Channel Nine, as quoted by Cricket Australia on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;A man with so much experience, you don&#39;t need to do that. &#39;What was the need? Pakistan needed you to be out there and you&#39;ve played a false shot. Yeah, he&#39;s got 65 but a very poor shot.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The wicket left Pakistan at 173\/5 with two new batsmen at the crease under lights to face the new pink ball at the ongoing day-night Test.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I&#39;m concerned about how Younis played,&quot; Waqar said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Two balls before, the ball had landed in the rough and spun sharply, the extra bounce was there. Then this... he was not in control at all. And I&#39;m lost for words. Ridiculous.&quot;<\/p>\r\n",
