Unreal is the only word I can use.
I guess it shows if there's a chance of victory, however small, it should be grasped. We actually did something similar at The Gabba last year after CooknTrott had scored several thousand runs in the second innings. We could've gone on, but sent Oz out for a tricky few overs. If memory serves we got Katto early and Punter was put down before it petered out.
The win was unlikely, but the positive intent was great to see.
The Miracle of Cardiff Mark II™ is the apotheosis of that positivity.
