Pakistan v England | 2nd Test | Abu Dhabi | Jan 28th, 2012 | Day 4

Certainly one of the most memorable victories of the last decade. Rehman's over where he dismissed Pietersen and Morgan was the turning point and what sparked the collapse.
 
What a day this was!

This is the last time the two sides met in Abu Dhabi in a Test match

Love the way everyone's attitude changed as the collapse begun
 
Wow what a memorable commentary thread!

Is thread mai pakistaniyat jaag gai thi in its true letter and spirit! Which is amazing to see!
 
This was the most exciting match of the entire series. When England were set a target of 140-odd, I was sure that they would chase it down easily and that we were going to have a tough contest in the last match. With this in mind, I fell asleep and awoke to find the presentation ceremony going on. The first words I heard were "... In what has been an amazing test match". I wanted to know how many wickets England had lost while chasing the target down but when I realized we had won, I was in a state of ecstatic shock!


I'm speechless.

Allah hu akbar!

Pakistan Zindabad!

Wooo Hoooooo


So many happy memories here. :))

I moved it back from comm section to cf :)

Wow man! I guess one of the best surprises u could get in ur life.

I was playing cricket with my friends at my house during the chase and by mistake i left the TV on. I wasnt confident of our victory so thats why started playing cricket instead.

But in the middle i went inside the house to drink water and also thought why not check the score as well. So when i checked the score to my surprise England were 50 or 60 for 6. Dont remember the exact score. And amazingly i was stunned for some seconds. And told my friends as well. All got excited and hoped for a victory.

We couldnt halt our cricket game like this, so i used to go after every over and check the score. But when England were 9 down then i skipped cricket for a while and watched the match till our victory.

It was amazing and memorable.

It was, it was. Misbah's reaction after Umar Gul took that nice catch mirrored what every Pakistani cricket fan felt at that moment.

It doesn't matter how great the upcoming series will be, it won't have the atmosphere that the 2012 one did.
 
One of the best cricketing moments. We've seen so many of them under Misbah.

The impossible-to-think run chase in 4th innings was one of them, simply amazing and unbelievable.
 
I watched it from ball one. Probably the only one who thought we still had a chance if we get a few early wickets. :misbah

Like our match Vs South Africa this year. I live in Canada and it was around midnight when the second innings started. I felt we were going to lose so I was just like "screw it". as I was setting up my bed De Kock' wicket fell. I still wasn't convinced we'd win but I watched a couple of overs and we were getting thrashed by :amla so then I again contemplated going to sleep but then we got 2 sudden wickets then me and my brother stayed awake until 4AM to watch that match. So tense and a great memory for me since I haven't been following cricket for very long. Shows that you should always be positive!
