One of the best wins to round off this year, there have been great test matches this year and 3rd time in a months time a team after scoring 400+ lost by an innings.

Taking 10 wickets on this pitch in 2 sessions in no mean task, every Aussie bowler stuck to their task and believed it was possible.

There have been great individual contributions throughout like Azhar's double, Warner's run a ball 144, Smith's 165 and Starc's counter attacking 84 with 4 wickets to round it off.

Great match for a neutral, commiserations PAK & congrats on the series win AUS.
 
Pakistan is so unpredictable. Almost chases 500 after batting 2 days in the first test match and can't survive 50 overs on a patta in the next.

Great advertisement for test cricket and a grand finish for the year.

What was disappointing was the crowd numbers. Hardly 3-4000 people there to watch this exciting contest. [MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION] - you were hoping for more.
 
if any Pakistani fan thought this was unexpected they are deluding themselves.
 
Great match. Good ol' Test Cricket at its very best ... love the game :) Commiserations to Pak fans.
 
Congrats

i feel sick

will take a break from test cricket and follow only pyjama odis and t20s for a while

atleast when you lose them it doesnt hurt and doesnt destory the day
 
Look liked a copy of India-England 5th test. England scored 400 plus in the first inning. India batted only once and still won it in the rain affected match but no one called it the match of the year. :inti

It rained on 3 out of 5 days and still a result came out.

Series was done by then bhai also England looked tired and dusted after Karuns 300, in this the series was alive and just justtttt last test Pakistan played amazingly in 4 th innings to chase such a huge score but here they couldnt survive 50 coz some very good attacking cricket.
 
Aus lucky to win after tactical blunders by Smith, could have been a much easier,emphatic win for Aus.Congrats to them anyways.Pak really lost an opportunity to atleast draw the test
 
Congrats. You've thoroughly exposed us.

Former Pakistan Test team fan, at least until Messiah retires.
 
I salute you. Well done. really liked the never die attitude and trying to win this by giving all..
 
Great win indeed, for Aussies.

A drawn game looked most likely at the start of the day but Starc (also Lyon) and Pak batters had different ideas. What's more surprising was despite the aussie bowlers (Starc, in particular) being not at their usual best and the pitch having no demons, the team still wins the game by an innings.

Congrats Aussie PPers!
 
I am glad that I am not that interested in (Test) cricket anymore. Did not waste my time and sleep over this. Can't believe I didn't think like this for the last 20 years.

The defeat doesn't hurt either because I didn't watch it.

And a big lol at people calling the Telst side a settled team all the time.

Anyways Congrats Australia, you obviously outplayed Pakistan here.
