The disintegration of the Pakistan innings highlights the importance of the Green/Carey partnership yesterday

Yeh, you suspect it won’t be the last significant partnership these 2 share

Another ton to Uzzy, phenomenal.

 

[TigerForce]

Another ton to Uzzy, phenomenal.

Has he found a miracle or something? Amazing.

 

[tigertim]

Is 351 enough?

 

[marella jube]

Declared too soon. Pitch playing a little easier than I thought it might at this stage. 50 more runs would have batted the home side out of the match.

 

[marella jube]

Who's giving Cummins advice on reviews? 2 already burnt on Lyon's bowling that clearly should never have been considered. Very poor.

 

[Leysy Days]

Numpties.

Ponting identified as Langer's replacement by “international head-hunting firm”

“What do you reckon Ricky Ponting would say to an offer like that?"

Another ton to Uzzy, phenomenal.

How good for him to reclaim his destiny in the country of his birth. Much deserved for the most elegant batsman we've had since Damien Martyn.

Is 351 enough?

Plenty.

Declared too soon. Pitch playing a little easier than I thought it might at this stage. 50 more runs would have batted the home side out of the match.

We batted them out of the previous test and they stonewalled for 170 overs. It's very hard to get wickets on these pitches if batsmen are only looking to survive rather than score. I would have set them 330 and given ourselves 5 more overs to get them out.

Jack Leach and Saqib Mahmood provide only the second instance in Test history of #10 and #11 being the top two scorers.
First one was 137 years ago! http://www.thefootyrecord.net/cricket/index.php?content1=match&t=19

Scott Bolland should have been brought in as our stock bowler instead Swepson who hasn't looked dangerous in either test bowling on last day wickets.

 

[bigwow]

Pakistan 5/171 44 overs left, should win from here?

 

[MB78]

Huge wicket and the bloke we wanted. 6/213.

Great catch by Smith as well.

 

[MB78]

7/213 now. Only have bowlers left to bat. We should get the win this time.

 

[spook]

Great catch by Smith

Head owes him a beer.

 

[tigerman]

Just 2 more wickets.

 

[tigerdell]

The win
And as if it's a script Cummins knocks over the stumps

 

[spook]

Great win.

Lyon 5/83, delivered on day 5. Cummins deserved man of the match, was magnificent.

And all it took was sacking the bloke everyone hated.

Gee it was slow going them days, 181 & 165 runs off 167 & 157 overs respectively.

The outfield must've been ankle high.

 

[Redford]

Those concrete wickets are awesome. Saves grass, time and money. Reminds me of my high school days.

Would have won 3-0 with JL in charge.

You haven't said who would win 3-0, TBR...
