[Asif321]

and people wanted to replace him with umar akmal . no way in his dreams umar could score in this situation

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[Markhor]

Could go down as Shafiq's most important career knock. His neck was on the line after 1st innings.

Carry us home now lad. Keep going and focus.

At least Asad is till there.

 

[Red Devil]

It all depends on Rahat now

 

[hamzie]

[Shafi]

All the hard work but Wahab spoiled at the end!!!!

 

[ExplicitAI]

Ahh c'mon man

 

[Markhor]

Time for a Yasir special then.

 

[aukhan]

100 in England
100 in South Africa
100 in Australia

That's pretty good from Asad.

 

[QalandarFan]

Need Yasir to grind it out! We need to take this match to the very end!

 

[On_the_up]

Brilliant hundred by Shafiq. Is that now the most from no 6?

 

[aukhan]

 

[Markhor]

It all depends on Rahat now

Wish we had Sohail, he's capable of bludgeoning a 30 or 40.

 

[QalandarFan]

Yasir first ball

 

[Saeed]

by Yasir.

 

[aukhan]

Brilliant hundred by Shafiq. Is that now the most from no 6?

yes.

 

[uberkoen]

 

[NauV]

Quality knock . . absolutely amazing! even better considering the situation!

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

We literalky had a 12% which is nw 2%

 

[Saeed]

Why would you send Yasir. Let Rahat score a match winning 50.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Yasir u classic

 

[On_the_up]

Beauty from Yasir. Hot spot said right off the middle.

 

[QalandarFan]

Stumps 382/8!!!

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Hmmmm...

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Excellent cricket boys. So damn proud.

 

[QalandarFan]

Great fight shown from the boys!!!

 

[Saeed]

Stumps. 108 to win. I stayed up alll night and it was worth it. Tomorrow is going to be an exciting day.

 

[Red Devil]

Wish we had Sohail, he's capable of bludgeoning a 30 or 40.

Yeah, he would have bowled better than Rahat too lol.

 

[Junaids]

and people wanted to replace him with umar akmal . no way in his dreams umar could score in this situation

Who?

I wanted Akmal instead of either over-40 batsman.

Well played today by Pakistan. Gutsy. Well done.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Proud of my team

 

[ali ray]

If Only Amir stayed there till end of day, match will be done and dusted

 

[QalandarFan]

Only 108 Runs Required!!! We can do this Boys!!!!

 

[ExplicitAI]

This is going to be incredibly tough tomorrow but we're going to have to prod home safely, put the bad balls away and don't be silly.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Soooooo Proud of the BOYS !!!!

 

[Junaids]

Stumps. 108 to win. I stayed up alll night and it was worth it. Tomorrow is going to be an exciting day.

Don't get carried away. It might just be an exciting Mitchell Starc over!

 

[Slog]

Wahabs late wicket spoiled the mood

But proud of the Pakistani boys

Our more talented team of yesteryears would have folded in the first session

 

[_Salman_]

Really tempted to wake up at 3am to watch the final day.

 

[QalandarFan]

I thought of sleeping when Sarfraz got out but the fight shown from 220/6 is absolutely amazing!!!

 

[NauV]

Grit, determination, application and sheer will . .

I am expecting Pakistan to fold tomorrow morning pretty quickly, but if there was ever an advert for proactive cricket where you take the attack to the opposition rather than sit back and defend! It has a psychological impact on the other team as well . . Quality innings by Asad!

I hope this sparks a new found belief for the next test!

 

[QalandarFan]

Damn I hope we can pull this off or get really close to it!

 

[Saeed]

Don't get carried away. It might just be an exciting Mitchell Starc over!

Or a quick match winning 50 by Rahat.

 

[DRsohail]

shafq and lower order showd resilence which was badly needed..

 

[yasir]

Man, what a day of test cricket for Pakistan

We will loose the game but will take lot of confidence for next two games. Team showed lot of character today, something 90s team would have never done, hall mark of Misbah 11... scoring almost 400 in 4th innings at GABBA, that too when we played 60% at night, is incredible, take a

 

[boomboom6]

closed the game when Sarf got out ... checked back in couple of hours later and I am shocked )

Just imagine if we had Sohail instead of Rahat in this match !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sherlock]

Good fightback. The 1st innings though

Also on a side-note - did anyone see Swann on BTSports 3 napping while they were in the studio

 

[QalandarFan]

Well I'm off to bed glad I stayed up all night to witness such a great fight back!

 

[QalandarFan]

closed the game when Sarf got out ... checked back in couple of hours later and I am shocked )

Just imagine if we had Sohail instead of Rahat in this match !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep Rahat is hopeless!

 

[hass]

Rarely felt so proud of this team like I am with the fight they have shown in this second innings. What a sensational day of play.

Unfortunately even through this remarkable resilience it will take a gargantuan level of heroism for Asad Shafiq, Yasir Shah and Rahat Ali to do the unthinkable tomorrow.

But what a gutsy effort. I felt the kind of emotion I yearn for as a cricket fan. There's nothing like a battle. Test cricket at it's enthralling best. The Aussies will have to acknowledge the competitive spirit of this Pakistan team come the end of tomorrow's play. DIL DIL PAKISTAN!

 

[Watsupdoc]

Wow I'm surprised by how well Pak has played in the second innings. Still won't win - but a great fight back nonetheless.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

What an Inning by Asad. I am PROUD OF THE BOYS. Well done for the Fight..⚔.

It will go down an amazing experience for this Team batting under lights 2wice and learned how to survive and show courage on bouncy pitches. Pakistan have been a poor travelers to Australia in the past. But this team always surprised you with great fight back. As a i said earlier this test was a learning curve for us. We should make a comeback in the next game and Misbah please tell team to be aggressive and take the fight to the Aussies. Young batsmen like Babar should not look down when starc is giving you looks. Take him on and tell him off there and then.
