What a match that was!

I followed it across the 4 days and watched the 5th on Sky and the match just had everything. A collapse, reverse swing, conventional swing, some turn, centuries, run outs, drops, catches, centuries, clue-less batsmen, clued-in batsmen, an iconic final innings, grit, determination, application...this is what one thinks of when discussing test cricket so it's difficult to understand the negativity I'm seeing on line from amateurs ,whereas a lot of cricket professionals involved in writing about the game, watching it every day, having played it have hailed this as one of the great test matches.

An argument could be made that Starc's brilliance with the ball was worthy of an Australia win, or Babar's brilliance with the bat was worthy of a remarkable Pakistan win. Can not get better than that.
