Australia v Pakistan | 1st Test | Brisbane | Dec 15-19, 2016 | Day 5

[Abdullah719]

Australia 429 and 202/5d
Pakistan 142 and 382/8

Pakistan need 108 runs to win.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

A win is nearly impossible but the fightback has been heartening. Need to set small goals. 10 runs at a time. Don't expect the last wicket stand to add more than 10 runs so these guys have to take us to the end.

[boomboom6]

if we win this would be a payback for Hobart '99 where victory was literally stolen from us due to biased home umpiring

 

[MABA]

As much as I would like to have hope, there are too many runs remaining and not enough wickets.

 

[Syed1]

10 run targets.. set 10 run targets
