[wasimjunior]

Oh my... wow

 

[Madplayer]

: shafiq

 

[Archer]

NOOOO! Asad Shafiq gone

 

[UP]

Oh no

 

[Salma_T]

That is the end I guess but let's see how close they can get

 

[Red Devil]

Yaar..

 

[MMHS]

Both batsmen looking pretty ragged and insecure now. What changed? Is it the pressure?

They are more secure now than at the start, but they are facing last effort from Aussies. These two have bowled 112 overs in last 63 hours - giving their last effort.

 

[Big Mac]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Oooooooonooooo

 

[iRfaN_LA]

dang it.

 

[Justcrazy]

shafiq gone

 

[Buffet]

OK, now try to slog and who knows. Well played Asad...

 

[desirous of desire]

o.k settle down everyone

 

[street cricketer]

Take a bow Asad!

 

[Junaids]

Well played both teams.

Pakistan gave it their all.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Game over.

 

[shah_1]

What a ball

Heartbreaking

 

[Archer]

Time for some magic from our unsung hero

 

[Syed1]

Heart broken

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Rahat won't last this over sadly

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Rahat

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Asad Shafiq pulling a [MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION]

 

[jnaveen1980]

All morning i was racking my brain why they did not bowl any bouncers. It is akin to how India did not bowl any bouncers to Moen Ali.

 

[Rayyman]

has totally destroyed that pressure thread.

I jinxed it! I BELIEVE IN RAHAT!!!

 

[Madplayer]

Rahat is going to make the next 40 in just 2 overs

 

[QalandarFan]

Game Over?

I guess.

 

[boomboom6]

time to throw the kitchen sink Rahat

 

[Junaids]

That Shafiq knock ranked right up there with Derek Randall's 174 in the Centenary Test.

Some innings are never forgotten. We have just had the privilege of witnessing one.

 

[street cricketer]

It's written in the stars that Rahat had to do it in the end.

 

[Bilal7]

Rahat will win this for us, InshAllah. He looks in great touch.

 

[QalandarFan]

We should just hit away to try and get close.

 

[MMHS]

Well played both teams.

Pakistan gave it their all.

For God's sake boss, had Smith listened to you & declared 30 minutes earlier with lead at 460.....

 

[Madplayer]

450 up

 

[Syed1]

450 up.. any point in still watching?

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Yasir shud go fr the shots

 

[QalandarFan]

Just can't surrender here!

 

[Rayyman]

Game Over?

I guess.

You HAVE TO BELIEVE IN RAHAT!!

 

[Big Mac]

Yasir shud go fr the shots

Never. Rahat has this

 

[Archer]

Yasir needs to farm strike

 

[Red Devil]

Yasir looking to slog

 

[Bilal7]

Game Over?

I guess.

Australia's 10 and 11 scored 40+ runs between them.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Crazzzy

 

[Madplayer]

Just keep batting yasir. Dont give up and slog

 

[Junaids]

For God's sake boss, had Smith listened to you & declared 30 minutes earlier with lead at 460.....

And now you know why I'm not the captain of Australia!

 

[MMHS]

We should just hit away to try and get close.

Why? Make them earn the last wicket - I can tell you Aussies are more tense, they'll drop something. The match AUS lost by 1 run, their 9th pair put almost 70 against Ambi, Bish & Walsh.

 

[Madplayer]

Idiotic yasir. : run out what lack of game awareness.

 

[sjahmed23]

Now is rahats time to shine

 

[desirous of desire]

what a dumb way to get out

 

[QalandarFan]

It's over!

 

[Archer]

Looks out. Sadly Game Over

 

[Justcrazy]

450 runs scored , moral victory achieved.

 

[Junaids]

What a note to end on!

 

[Big Mac]

Bloody hell Yasir, leaving Rahat stranded

 

[Syed1]

 

[IAJ]

Lol Yasir

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

What a time ending! Yasir is stumped/ run out off Starc

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Bhar mein jae yaar din ....

What the hell....

 

[Rayyman]

Now is rahats time to shine

Belief was in Rahat, but Yasir let us down. We didn't deserve to win this anyway.

 

[UP]

 

[Buffet]

For God's sake boss, had Smith listened to you & declared 30 minutes earlier with lead at 460.....

The Aus would have won it a lot earlier.

 

[QalandarFan]

We fought Hard Lads!

450 from 145 Overs.

 

[Salma_T]

What an anti climatic end to a brilliant match definitely a moral victory

 

[jnaveen1980]

Very scary match for Australia .Good test.

 

[Madplayer]

One of the most pathetic ways to get out. Yasir just gave up

 

[Protea Fan]

Sensatonal from Shafiq he just pulls out the unbelivable


That ball from tarc was just too good

 

[street cricketer]

West Indies will like the way the match ended.

 

[Speedster777]

Poor from Yasir. Gifted away his wicket. Pathetic

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What an anticlimax... Still an excellent fight back

 

[troodon]

Lucky aussies escape humiliation.

 

[Rayyman]

Bhar mein jae yaar din ....

What the hell....

Thanks for jinxing it.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Proud of the boys. They've shown brilliant character nonetheless.

 

[Archer]

One magical delivery by Starc or one mistake by Yasir or Shafiq will mean that its game over for Pakistan

Looks like, I cursed it

 

[IAJ]

The way Rahat was playing, he would have hit his highest score today. Would have shielded Yasir here.

 

[MMHS]

Great Test match, great chase. PAK can take lots of positive from here. Actually, it was never possible to win - Smith could have set 600 here, but the approach was fantastic. I am sure PAK will give Aussies the toughest fight at MCG & SCG.

 

[LegendAli]

Shafiq and Shah thank your lucky stars I'm not there, you would not hear the end of it!!!

 

[boomboom6]

what an anti-climax )

 

[Red Devil]

Cahlo koi nai, we fought well. Hopefully they carry this momentum in the next two games and win those.

 

[Bilal7]

Never. Rahat has this

Poor Rahat ran out of partners. Superb innings though. That one flick into the leg-side was superb.

 

[QalandarFan]

230 Runs for the last 4 Wickets!

 

[troodon]

PK deserved to win this
