I just came back from a walk outside and missed the Rohit dismissal.

I saw Azhar drop that dolly and thought there went the Champions Trophy.

Very next ball, Amir found the outside edge again and I screamed my head off. Still do now watching the replays !

Took a nap around that time and woke up 15 mins later and could not believe what I had missed!
 
Dont think I will ever be as mad and happy in such a short period of time ever again, great memories.
 
Never seen felt such a low after dropping Kohli and thinking we'd dropped the trophy turn to such a manic high barely a minute later. What a moment! Can't imagine anyone happier than Azhar at that moment!

I was in a pub full of Indians, I celebrated too early when Azhar dropped the dolly and I was being ridiculed for all of the 2/3 minutes in between. The jubilation the next ball, that is a moment that would live with me for the rest of my life. Especially being the only Pakistani surrounded by soo many Indians. One of the best days of my life.
 
This video sums up Pakistan quite well and Nasser Hussain was accurate.

Great video.

Wonder what the Indian supporters were feeling at that time? Did they think the game was slipping?
 
Still remember screaming at this haha such an amazing moment, what a day to be a Pakistan fan.
 
I remember that when Azhar dropped the catch, i wanted to break the TV.

It was bliss though seeing the back of Kohli the very next ball!
 
Amir is the king of ICC tournaments.

Big matches in particular.
 
I absolutely rinsed this video was on my status for many days lol what killed it is when gangly said "how important will that drop be" and then boom Nasser's reply NOT THAT IMPORTANT!!!

Think this segment will become the new WC92 winning moment in terms of viewing pleasure!
 
Ganguly ruined it by mixing up Shadab and Fakhar

Because Ganguly had no idea what Pakistan has done to India that day.

I think Ganguly still thinks about this match as “man, we still need to compete with Pakistan”
 
Kohli looking back in anger
I remember a similar spell by junaid khan against India

Suprising they can't play left arm seam seeing they've had nehra and zaheer

Suprising drop by Azhar considering sarfaraz ahmed wasnt even attempting to catch

Junaid and Amir >>> Zaheer and Nehra.
 
Goosebumps, goosebumps and time to feel proud :)
 
Nasser is a brilliant commentator.

He has all the attributes a good commentator should have, technical knowledge, humour, detailed knowledge about the players, passion about the game, even in criticism and praise and he's not biased.

A great guy too.

A great quote but it’s description is nothing to be proud of.

It reeks of inconsistency, which is just a term to hide the facade of mediocrity.

“Unpredictable, mercurial”. I’ve grown sick of this stereotypical jargon used to describe a beloved national outlet of obsession. It’s insulting, to be honest and a damn shame our sports public and even cricketers, have come to identify it as part of their identity.

Sportswriters are the laziest of the lot when it comes to journalism but it’s no coincidence that mere phrases are enough to spur sports fans.

Nasser Hussain is a top class commentator but sadly turns into a cliche machine when commenting on Pakistan. His cheerleading gets tiresome.
 
Someone should really tell Nas that a majority of Pakistan fans don't want our team to be known as unpredictable. We want to be a consistent team at the top of the rankings in all 3 formats.

I don't like these cliches associated with Pakistan cricket. Sadly they won't change anytime soon due to us still being a poor team.
 
That dropped catch though, awful technique.

Such a simple catch, no excuse for it to be dropped.

Damn lucky that Kohli gave Pakistan a second chance.
 
Although a happy day for Pakistan fans everywhere this was a horrible day for me as this is when my dad was sick with meningitis.
 
I will never forget this I was watching it with my whole family and my wife and it was during Ramadan and when Azhar dropped the catch eveyone was angry and sad but I started swearing at Azhar Ali in Punjabi lol my mom got mad and said its Ramadan you shouldn't use that language lol I remember telling my wife if Pakistan can get kohli out before he scores 20 runs than we will win the game I told her lets pray when every ball is bowled lol the fact that he was out the next ball caught me by suprise and I jumped so high and yell my mom said jokely it's Ramadan save your energy but I was so happy like words can't describe. Even though I knew India had a lot more batsmen to come I just knew that meant game set and match will never forget it
 
One minute down next minute up probably sums up everything that's wrong with Pak cricket. Inconsistency and unpredictability are not what u should want to celebrate in sports
 
When Kohli was out, I was stood near some of the BBC radio guys. There was like this look and smile between us as if to say 'game over'
 
Asia cup 2012. I remember that blinder of an innings Kohli played. Pakistan had posted a mamoth total and it was chased down due to kohli.
Thus, from that point forward, i always believed that to win a game against india you need to get kohli out.

Amir bowls a peach and as soon as azhar drops it, the first thing that came into my mind was that asia cup innings. I saw to myself, these ***** are not gonna stop from their stupid antics. They will lose this match due to their own stupidity. To hell with them.

Next ball, amir gets him.

I always hated amir, but that wicket made me love him again
 
At The Oval when this happened, there was a gasp of disbelief amongst the Pakistani fans, as if the match had been lost. However the fans in blue thought it was Kohli's day when he was dropped.

Within a few seconds though, the roles of the fans had been reversed.
 
Always had a very soft spot for Amir until he retired from Tests.
When Azhar dropped Kohli I was very mad and swearing at him saying that he did it on purpose bla bla.

When Amir got Kohli next ball I had a few blank seconds of pure animal emotions.

Getting Kohli twice in 2 balls in a very special thing to do.

Oh Amir why did you ruin your career. You could have been so much more.:amir
