Wasn't Bradman playing in 1938?

Did not bat because of injury. Same with Fingleton.

Otherwise, Australia would have won that match.

Nothing’s impossible when Pakistan play cricket. That’s both a compliment and an insult.

Terrific win by the Stannies. The Snoozies fought it out in a manner typical of that team.

Yasir was fantastic.
