Australian Cricket Season 2018-2019

[turtlemichael]

I've been a critic of Khawaja but he has done a classy job tonight! Much better than the favoured West Aussie boys who can do no wrong.

 

[drron]

19 overs to go.
Marsh should be a name not seen in the lineup for the next test.

 

[NM]

Well Khawaja finally fell for 141. 14.3 overs remaining (minimum). Can they hold out?

 

[NM]

And now Starc goes cheaply. The end is nigh??

 

[Pushka]

Damn. And fast bowler warming up.

 

[QF WP]

Okay, can Australia draw the First Test v Pakistan.

Pakis need 2 wickets
Australia have to survive 24 balls

Been watching it for the past hour with increasing interest.

@Pushka, you and MrP watching it?

 

[QF WP]

Now down to 18 balls. Nice blocking by Lyons

 

[QF WP]

12 balls left, but how Tim Paine missed the second last ball I’ll never know

 

[rock86]

C'mon, 2 overs lads!!

 

[QF WP]

OMG, we dodged a bullet I think. No reviews left and I’m convinced Lyon tickled one onto his pads and was “caught”. Umpire have not out.

Snicko looked like he missed it...

Nervous now, can we negotiate the last over

 

[QF WP]

4 balls left...Tim Paine has been scoring runs - who cares?

 

[QF WP]

Cmon Australia - 2 balls left. This is the ball

 

[QF WP]

YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSS. We have a draw

 

[QF WP]

We were dead and buried after the first innings and Pakistan’s turned the screws by getting some extra runs in their second innings

Did they bat too long?
Did Usman Kawajah almost single handled keep us in the match? Some backbone shown by Aaron Finch, Tim Paine, Travis Head in the second innings

 

[rock86]

WOW! That has to be one of the best second innings performances from an Aussie side, especially considering whwre it's being played.

 

[moa999]

Very impressive performance.
Glad the ump seemingly got all the calls correct in tee last few overs as well

 

[NM]

Excellent ending for the Aussies. A very exciting draw! What other game can play for 5 days and be happy with a non result. Got to love cricket.

 

[JohnK]

I think he has justified this start. Just passed 220 for the match. But he must be feeling exhausted by now.

Absolutely. Brilliant result. At one point an outside chance of winning.

 

[Major]

I was absolutely amazed by that result. It was not what I was expecting

 

[Pushka]

A major boost for them in the face of so many critics.
