Who would have thought that bowling at the top of off stump at 140k+ might get a wicket.

Yep

Koo gets us to within one of an outright!!!!!

Unbelievable win

by JGK Fri 30 Dec 2016, 06:24

Time for some skully "declaring and then losing by an innings" triv.

The "score 400 and lose by an innings" list is becoming a little tedious.

by Blackadder Fri 30 Dec 2016, 06:25

Never underestimate the Wackies potential to implode.
Score over 400 in the First innings, time lost to Rain and still lose it by an Innings. Shocked

by Big Dog Fri 30 Dec 2016, 06:25

I reckon the Paksters, mentally, will pack up & go home after this. The Sydney test will be a walkover.

by Blackadder Fri 30 Dec 2016, 06:28

Only 1 team has ever lost by an innings after declaring - Aus v Ind, Hyderabad 2013

by skully Fri 30 Dec 2016, 06:38

Huzzah. Have to hand it to Tweek on getting the calls right.

2-0 going into Sydney!!!

wtf!

Aye, Amazing that both England and Pakistan would break their own records for the highest total in an innings loss within a month of each other.

Draw still looks likely. Like 95%.

Rain late yesterday nearly stuffed this up, but was still achieved!

Mein Gott.

Azhar unlucky not to get MoM, but it always goes to the winners. Tweek was great but how good a day did Koo have??? 84 for 7 zacks and 4-36!! That's a one day all-round display of world class.

Wow!!

Toxic piece of shit declared at 9/237 so he could get 3 overs at the Banindians before stumps

Cot got seaweed early on day two before a 360 run partnership for the second wicket

Oz then meekly surrendered like they were subbies in australia

by JGK Fri 30 Dec 2016, 12:51

Apparently the Paks total is the largest ever declared innings only to lose by an innings in all FC cricket.
