Usman Khawaja and Tim Paine take Australia to nail-biting draw in first Test against Pakistan

[Fineline]

Paine has been solid as a rock.The lesser he is on strike,the better!

 

[bantu]

Australian tail in ... Pakistan with their tail up

 

[Fineline]

What a stunner!

 

[Mir jibran]

yasir will do it for us guys
hes backkk!!!!!!

 

[shebimalik]

Brilliant catch

 

[Sirris]

Bros come out have some tea and enjoy the match.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Bobby The Flash!

 

[Josh]

Oh ..now it's Pakistan game finally.

 

[DeadBall]

Is it a bird, Is it a plane? No. it's Babar Azam.

 

[shariqnoor]

Should have Abbas bowling from the other hand. Bilal hasn't looked like taking a wicket at all.

 

[Sirris]

The way babar took the catch for a moment I thought it was superman Rizwan.

 

[Amjid Javed]

A couple of maidens and all of sudden wickets start to fall. why couldnt this happen earlier?

 

[Abdullah719]

Wow wow wow

 

[Kroll]

Bilal and Yasir to terrorise the Aussies now, c'mon.

 

[Fineline]

Another one!

 

[shariqnoor]

What is Australia doing???? This is quite ridiculous from them.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Australia collapsing in last hour lmao )

 

[Sirris]

Muhahahahhahah.

Told you there would be a drama.

 

[lontje]

This is why you shouldn't disrespect Yasir . Form is temporary class forever

 

[Mir jibran]

so happy to see yasir getting wickets

 

[babajee]

Champion

 

[Sirris]

A couple of maidens and all of sudden wickets start to fall. why couldnt this happen earlier?

To make sue the entertainment level remains 100%.

 

[Fineline]

Khawaja has done his job.I feel its too late!

I take my words back!A lot depended upon Khawaja actually!

 

[RehanG]

ONE more wicket and iT Will be over in 30 mins

guess who recalled it..

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Yesss

 

[Fineline]

Paine won't rotate the strike now!We have to get him out too!

 

[ARK Rafay]

Was Sarfraz saying. Sweep Shot, Sweep Shot..... To Nathan Lyon? Hahah?

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Bilal needs to step up.

 

[Fineline]

Dont allow Paine to take a single off the last ball!

 

[Mir jibran]

come on yasir clean up the tail now

 

[Nikhil_cric]

11 overs remaining.

 

[Dark_Horse]

May be Abbas should be given the ball

 

[Amjid Javed]

Get Abbas on for Asif as hes much better bowler and would run through lyon and holland i recon.

 

[Fineline]

Lyon is a very handy tail ender.Next over should be given to Abbas!

 

[Sirris]

From 80 deliveries and 5 wickets we are at 2 wickets from 60 now. Let's do it.

 

[shariqnoor]

Lyon and Ishant Sharma are two of the most dogged tailenders I've ever seen. They just don't seem to get out without playing 30 balls on average.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Abbas should come in place of Bilal now.

 

[shariqnoor]

I hope I'm wrong but I don't think we'd get these two wickets. We managed to do it in the West Indies. Might end up on the other side this time. Seen it happen too many times. Cricket leveling out situations. I hope I'm wrong though.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Get Abbas on for god sake! sarfaraz show some intelligence for once!

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Bilala thori speed daal yar bowl mai. Too slow.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

pakistan should stop giving the ball to asif.
he is done .

 

[Fineline]

I hope I'm wrong but I don't think we'd get these two wickets. We managed to do it in the West Indies. Might end up on the other side this time. Seen it happen too many times. Cricket leveling out situations. I hope I'm wrong though.

You mean karma?

 

[Junaids]

Why are Pakistan so slow between overs?

The light is going fast.....

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Get Abbas on for god sake! sarfaraz show some intelligence for once!

more like show some common sense.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

They might still save the test.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Abbas looks very tired.
Shabaash jawan bas thori si jaan aur maar dai.

 

[Josh]

50 balls to go

 

[Fahdi]

The old spinners play spin well... annoying

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lol appealing for everyting now.

 

[Shafi]

Looks like we are run out overs!!!!

 

[Fahdi]

39 balls remaining

 

[Fahdi]

So close!

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Lol Paine lucky 2 times.

 

[Mir jibran]

just a matter of 2 good balls

 

[Abdullah719]

Out ho jaoooo

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Just need some luck

 

[Shafi]

Lyon is more solid than some of our batsmen!!!!

 

[ARK Rafay]

Anyone game now

 

[Fahdi]

Pain has been lucky twice in the space of 2 overs. 3rd times the charm hopefully

 

[saabir]

Follow on would have been better decision for Pakistan considering pitch slows down on 4th and 5th day

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Just 3 overs left..and still 2 wickets to get..

 

[GLORY OF '92]

1 wicket. Holland won't last.

 

[ARK Rafay]

It seems Australia will lose no wickets or both the wickets.

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

Pakistan were overconfident. They didn't tighten the screws early on.

 

[Shafi]

Knew that!!!! Asif got lucky to get 6 wickets. Apart from Yasir and Abbas we don't have bowlers to win the test.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Big turn.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Knew that!!!! Asif got lucky to get 6 wickets. Apart from Yasir and Abbas we don't have bowlers to win the test.

Asif wasnt lucky, he bowled well in 1st inns.

We have bowled poorly overall in this 2nd inns.

 

[Shafi]

Follow on would have been better decision for Pakistan considering pitch slows down on 4th and 5th day

We would have loose the match. We can't chase even 100 runs in 4th innings when we have Azhar, Sarfraz and babar in our batting.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Need luck. Which Australia is getting all.

 

[Stumper]

Tuk Tuk on first two days is the reason for pakistan to not able to win this match. It should had ben finished by now but looks like a draw now.

 

[topspin]

Over now - Khawaja MOTM. Time to drop Sarfraz and bring a new captain. Enough is enough.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Its over now. Well fought Aussies. Paine deserved the luck. He has played well.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

No bat on that. Good decision!

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Last over of the game.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

5 balls left

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Really brilliant from australia.very very impressive

 

[Arham_PakFan]

4 balls left. Game over now

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Paine has been brilliant.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Last chance. 2nd last ball.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

It's a draw.
