Who knows what's going on in Pakistan: Waugh

Australian captain Steve Waugh said on Monday it was difficult to work out what was going on in Pakistan where sacked cricket coach Javed Miandad has accused his team of deliberately losing a one-day series to New Zealand in February.

Waugh was speaking to reporters at Sydney airport after a gruelling tour of India where his side won the first test to extend their world-record winning streak to 16 matches but then lost the remaining two games to lose the series 2-1.

"You're never sure what to believe coming out of there (Pakistan) but it seems to me he got sacked as a coach last week, so you can probably read into that what you want," Waugh said.

Miandad said on Sunday: "The video footages are available which will unveil everything. The matches against New Zealand were pre-decided."

Pakistan lost the one-day series 3-2.

Australia's greatest-ever wicket-taker Shane Warne, arriving at Melbourne airport, told reporters it was an issue for Pakistan and the International Cricket Council (ICC).

"As far as we're concerned, we're playing some good cricket and we've just come off probably one of the best series in a long, long time," Warne said.

"All we can do is go and give our best. It's up to the ICC and Pakistan to get to the bottom of that."

TOUR ALMOST A SUCCESS: WAUGH

Waugh added that his team's tour of India was "almost a success".

Waugh said it was a tough tour and his team had given 100 per cent but a couple of batting collapses in the test series proved costly after winning the first test in Bombay by 10 wickets.

Australia, the World Cup champions, fought back from 2-1 down in the limited overs series to win 3-2.

The Australian Cricket Board is expected to announce a squad later this week to leave in May for a five-test Ashes tour of England.

Waugh had said before the Indian tour: "I think it's fair enough for people to judge us on what happens on the next tour."

Australia have not won a series in India for 31 years.
