<p>Pakistan's former stars, including Javed Miandad and Shoaib Akhtar, have reacted with shock following arch-rivals India's inexplicable batting collapse in the first Test against Australia in Adelaide.</p>.<p>India were bowled out for their lowest Test total of 36 in their second innings as Australia recorded a convincing eight-wicket victory to go 1-0 up in the four-match series.</p>.<p>"I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Australia batting again and the score showing they needed just 90 runs to win this morning," Pakistan's former opener Mohsin Khan, who has toured Australia several times, said.</p>.<p>The Indian team was bundled out after taking a first-innings lead of 53 runs and finishing the second day on a strong position.</p>.<p>"I saw the dismissals and honestly speaking there was nothing wrong with the surface. I just felt the batsmen showed lack of intent and they were in double minds about what to do against the Australian quicks," Mohsin said.</p>.<p>He said the way the Adelaide game ended in two and half days, it showed the beauty of Test cricket.</p>.<p>Former captain Rashid Latif recalled that in 2002, the Pakistan team had fallen into a similar situation against Australia at Sharjah when they were bowled out for 59 and 53.</p>.<p>"These things happen they are days when the bowlers just hit the right spot 100 percent of the time and the edges go straight to fielders. I think the collapse occurred because the Indian batsmen perhaps came out with a mindset to attack the bowling and dominate.</p>.<p>"But the pitch changed its behaviour and I think on the first two days, it had some spongy bounce and was a bit slow, but then, the pitch had hardened up a bit and the ball skidded beautifully for the bowlers, which is why all the edges went into the fielders," he said.</p>.<p>Latif said Indian captain Virat Kohli played a very sensible knock in the first innings but the second time around, with wickets falling so quickly at the other end, even he was tempted to chase a wide one to get runs on the board.</p>.<p>"It must have been a nightmare for Kohli to see his team bowled out for just 36 runs."</p>.<p>Akhtar, one of the fastest bowlers the game has ever seen, said he couldn't believe what he saw.</p>.<p>He slammed the batsmen for showing no intent or foot movement at the crease to counter the seam and swing.</p>.<p>"I thought their approach was not positive at all after taking the first innings lead and bowling out Australia on the second day they had a very good chance to win the game."</p>.<p>Batting great Javed Miandad put down India's horrific performance to a very bad day at the office.</p>.<p>"I think some of the balls were unplayable to be fair but what surprised me was that no one even down the order put up resistance.
