***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2016/17

[Kirkut]

Wow!!!! If Pak wins, this is huge!

 

[smash84]

oh nooo, i can't watch this. This is ****ing tense

 

[Bahnz]

Smith's thought train after that review: "Okay, okay...I'm gonna freak right out now."

 

[Zinzan]

Yep, game over.

Lol, don't be a baby, they still need 48 with just 2 wickets in hand

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Geez, umpires must be crapping themselves too, that was miles off.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Yasir getting too much strike now

 

[Spikey]

in regards to the target/follow on, as far as I'm concerned, the whole thing is built around the (arrogant and hopefully now debunked) belief that chasing 450 or higher is impossible. clarke was on commentary when it happened and he was talking about it in terms of "there's enough runs". i wonder if usman and burns pointed out they chased down 470 two years ago...The Home of CricketArchive

I remember Pakistan, in a similar situation, pushing on and setting 600 against us...

Lol, don't be a baby, they still need 48 with just 2 wickets in hand

With around 300 runs off the last 3 wickets

 

[silentstriker]

Aussies still clearly the favorites here but man, that's a great fight back from Pakistan.

 

[smash84]

oh well, at least Pakistan put up a fight after rolling over in the first innings.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yasir getting too much strike now

They're doing what vvs-ishant did in Mohali, only on an even more epic scale.

Shafiq will probably start taking the bulk of the strike when they get it down to 20-30 needef

 

[Spikey]

oh hell yeah wade dropped it

 

[Bahnz]

Starc starting to get some reverse? If so, Pakistan won't get near this.

 

[Spark]

what have i missed

In fairness, what counts as "enough runs" to Clarke is somewhat different to everyone else

 

[Zinzan]

Go check the live odds. No smart bookie has Pakistan favourites at this point.

 

[morgieb]

I think Australia got too obsessed with the thought of the new ball under lights. I reckon they'd have batted on in normal circumstances.

 

[Spark]

"I think Matthew Wade dropped it anyway in the end" should be his epitaph tbh

 

[OverratedSanity]

Wade hahahahaha

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

What a defensive play by Yasir to 149 odd

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Not sure if it's available overseas but cricket.com.au carries the ABC commentary.

Thanks Spark. Definitely working for me in NZ with no shenanigans required.
