...or in Pakistan when 30 minutes of Urdu was interchanged with English and you had to listen to the roar of the crowd to determine what happened,

I witnessed the victory….Epic

In reply to Inity

Good on you...but I was thinking of those who did not miss a ball.

I man is a supermodel...mih nah do puffy eyes.

I would like to know who did that knowing the low expectations of this team. He or she should be given a loyalty badge of honor.

I watched most of last night’s play.

In reply to voiceofreason

Bruh, I watched every ball.

Let me say upfront that it was not with the expectation of victory but to put myself in a position to assess the players.

Fighting with crictime and their constant link for steam since Wednesday at 2:3 am but their site directory is very skewed, Don't have a subscription to Sportmax or Willow

In reply to Cornfused

there is another site

buzz me next time

Bro

I not a young boy no more. Can't do all nighters and go work next day

Saw enough to get me excited. The youngsters really acquitted themselves.

I suspect there are a few fellas we won't see at test level again. Holder and Mayers can go play as much T20 as they like. Bonner, Blackwood and Chase can retire.

Couple more youngsters in the wing. Good 4 day performances will see them contending for places

More this team, better they become

Man...some of us followed cricinfo test whole night in the past.....no other commentary was available

But I ent go lie.....its only last night I watched whole night.....what a night of great test cricket.

You missed a mosaic of history.

In reply to Narper

The two greatest cricket events in my life were the Tie test and Sir Gary 365no.
I was 13 years old during the 1960/61 series, and could not stay up on weeknights. Still, my closest friend whose mother was in a wheelchair, would stay up all night score every delivery, and give me her scorecard the following day, on weekends during the test, I would spend the night at his house listening to the game.
The Tie test was one of those nights, Mrs Mason was her name, and she was very informative about what that match meant.
Sir Gary 365no, was a family together toiling the land but would run to the Redifussion to get the school, my Dad, brother and sister were with me, and the match was interrupted by horse racing commentary
Winning this test match, reminded me of the two events.

As much as I love Cricket, pulling an all nighter is something I've never done. Won't feel good the next day. 4 AM is usually my cut off time then it's bed time. Didn't see any of the last session this series.

But a still need a medal, wasn't at my best them last few days and still sacrificed sleep for them guys. Was surely worth it.

Present!!

I started watching late on Day 1, and have barely looked away since.

This team was entertaining to watch.

Bowlers easing pressure, dropped catches, spineless batting and shoddy fielding, do not appeal to viewers!

This was not that

In reply to Courtesy

Exactly.

To find out the pieces that are in place.

Also, the positions that needed to be re-enforced.
