Pakistan pull off astonishing chase
Re: The Mother Of All Run Chases - ketchim - 01-20-2014
Pakistan turned a Test that had been an abysmal advertisement for cricket
for four days and one session on its head, with an incredible batting
performance after lunch on the final day, when they scored :
302 runs in 57.3 overs to sucker-punch Sri Lanka and level the series
Re: The Mother Of All Run Chases - ketchim - 01-20-2014
Their run-rate of 5.25 was the highest in a successful chase of a 300-plus
target, and the heroes of this heist -
Azhar Ali, Sarfraz Ahmed and Misbah-ul-Haq -
proved that the soporific pace of the previous days was entirely by design,
largely Sri Lanka's to protect their 1-0 lead.

Pakistan..You absolute Beauty..This was in same level and intensity as the Ind Vs SA Match last month.For 4 days and 2 sessions I was a Sri Lankan fan. For the final session I became a Pakistani fan.The guts that these guys have.It is unbelievable man.They deserve a big kudos to show such resolve.They have won the hearts of millions around the globe.Had Sri Lanka pestered the umpires about the light,they could have probably won.
;D

Pakistan needed 195 in 35 overs at the start of the final session,
and they had made a tactical decision to send Sarfraz Ahmed in at No. 5..
Rangana Herath operated from over the wicket and pitched wide outside
leg stump for most of his 19 overs, which cost 100 and yielded no wickets,but when he did so
Sarfraz took guard near the wide-ball indicators outside leg stump
and lofted inside-out through covers to beat a packed on-side field.
Re: The Mother Of All Run Chases - ketchim - 01-20-2014
After several such shots, Mathews moved a fielder from the leg to the off,
and Sarfraz promptly slogged Herath over the midwicket boundary. ::LOL::
