Brilliant, but not as good as Bath's Freddie Burns celebrating his late match-winning try before he touched the ball down and having it knocked from his grasp, costing his team the game and - in all probability - qualification from their group.

Surely you must be kidding? I saw the dismissal on SSN - what on earth could possibly be the grounds for appeal?

It said on the replay "after an appeal to the umpire, Azhar had to go for 64".

I can only assume it was for "simply UNBELIEVABLE incompetence".

I'm sure that, with a lead of well over 500, the Pakistan players are absolutely GUTTED

There are going to be a few Aussies crying into their Fosters this time tomorrow ... I almost feel sorry for them (almost, I said)

Reminds me of my very first senior cricket match. I came in at number 11, and we needed 4 to win off the final over. The guy I was batting with played a nice cover drive which looked like it was making it's way to the boundary for the runs we needed. I started running like any keen young player but he didn't bother and just stood their admiring his shot. It then became apparent it had stopped just inside the rope (it's a ridiculously long boundary), so we frantically started running. He was determined that we'd just run four (despite having 4 balls left), so I followed his lead and kept going. Of course I was the one who got run out by about 5 yards, going for the fourth run and we ended up tying the match.

I think he bought me a drink afterwards and got a good ribbing from the rest of the team.

and Pakistan have beaten Australia by 373 runs to win the Test series 1-0.

What a shame.
