Azhar was disappointed after losing his wicket at a crucial juncture

Pakistan vs India
Result: DRAW
MoM: T Ahmed​

​

 

[simsanta123]

Ind vs Pak..What a match! Epic. 5 points for the taking were lost by India.

 

[mohit_dude10]

Yeah tbf both teams could have won, Pakistan were going strong at 251/5. Needed just around 50 to win but they lost quick wickets and India needed just 1 wicket but couldn't manage it.

 

[Prats]

Yahooo!!

Finally, Punter plays a crucial role in our win. Perfect co-ordination between players and each player performed equally good in that game. Loved to see Ponting scoring huge, after a long time. Bowling too was awesome.

Hashim Amla completed a fine century to guide South Africa to a Empatic win

South Africa vs England
Result: South Africa won by 5 wickets
MoM: PL Harris​

​

 

[Iridium]

Yes! What a win. Conceded a massive first innings deficit before Harris came in and tore through England with 7 wickets to finish with 11 for the match. Then Amla's 156 helped us to chase down a mammoth total. Everything is going well.

@mohit: Might want to fix the match result. Right now it says "South Africa won by wickets."

Good god , how did we allow them to chase 400+ in the fourth innings ??

 

[Varun]

Fark, missed that chance. Great match anyways, India vs Pakistan always get the thrill out of you, whether real or virtual.
