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

[Justcrazy]

Australia won by 39 runs

 

[Ab Fan]

And this is what happens when your main man gets out. It gets over sooner.

Incredible knock from Shafiq though.

Up there with Sanga 192 and Kohli's Adelaide one.

 

[Speedster777]

Smith is the most inept, cowardly and uninspiring captain ever to lead Australia.

 

[Speedster777]

I wish our bowlers had the fitness level of Starc bowling at almost 150 on fifth day.

 

[Lefthanded]

No shame in this defeat.

Shafiq for MoM.

Best test match we've played for a very long time.

 

[Thivagar]

That was a good fight.

 

[Big Mac]

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

It sent shivers throughout the entire Aussie lineup. Watch as one or two of their players are conveniently 'injured' or 'rested' in Melbourne because they don't want to face the Rahat Retribution.

 

[QalandarFan]

One of the Best Test's I have seen in a while!

 

[Jabo]

Still should be proud

Don't think we'll see a better score from the bowlers like this for a while

Usually quite rare for Pakistan

 

[Syed1]

I'm heart broken and lost for words

 

[QalandarFan]

No shame in this defeat.

Shafiq for MoM.Best test match we've played for a very long time.

It's gonna be Smith though.

 

[desirous of desire]

i didnt expect pakistan to gift a wicket

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Dil tor diya tune starc zaalim

 

[Syed1]

A small part of me died with that Shafiq dismissal. I think I need a little time away from cricket.. I'll see you chaps in the next match. Maybe

 

[Ellipsism]

Moral Victory for Pakistan!

Poor Rahat ran out of partners, played Starc's 150 K deliveries with ease.

 

[QalandarFan]

Starc Bowled 38 Overs and Hazelwood bowled 42 Overs for no wickets.

 

[QalandarFan]

We will Win the Next Match!

 

[sali]

Good batting practice for Pakistan. Now they should adjust very well against Aus pace attack in the next two tests. Bowlers need to step up. Get Irfan and Asif out there.

 

[QalandarFan]

Asad Shafiq MoM!!!!

 

[leatherface58]

Terrific performance by Pakistan. Australia's no-follow on policy nearly costing them twice in two successive summers.

 

[Moh@n]

Smith is the most inept, cowardly and uninspiring captain ever to lead Australia.

This.

It's a different story when you score 550 and bowl the opposition out in between 340-350, your bowlers need rest in that case. But why won't you enforce the follow on when you bowl the opposition out for 140?

Australia deserved to lose for this stupid piece of captaincy from Smith alone.

 

[Protea Fan]

And this is what happens when your main man gets out. It gets over sooner.

Incredible knock from Shafiq though.

Up there with Sanga 192 and Kohli's Adelaide one.

Sanga's one was better he was out on wrong desicion if am not wrong

Nevertheless this was just sensational from shafiq

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Lost for words. Heartbreak.

PAK should have won after coming this far.

Salute to the tail and Shafiq. Well played guys. I can proudly say that this team is among the best touring sides in the world at the moment.

Btw Micheal Vaughan is also saying that Shafiq reminds him of Tendulkar.

 

[yasir]

This was one of the best innings from a Pakistani batsmen. Last innings chasing 490, that too in day and night match and out of all places GABBA... well if we had got ten another 40 runs, this would have been best innings in the history of test cricket.

This is the beauty of rest Cricket, you cannot have those kinds of situation not such monumental efforts.

Don't lose heart there are still 2 more Tests to go. Game is on.

 

[Chrish]

Amazing how Darren Lehmann can still keep his place.. Total disaster in away tours, humiliation against SA at home, pathetic tactics in the field and still somehow his place is secure.

Is it supposed to be black magic or something?
