Test cricket is infinately superior to hit and giggle bubble gum cricket.

Fantastic effort Australia

 

[Cursed Cat]

yeah, fascinating game of Test cricket.
Khawaja advances his reputation a notch, while Tim Paine invokes the spirit of Alan Border to eke out a backs-to-the-wall draw.
Good stuff.

5 days are key as well, fightbacks this immense will disappear with four day test cricket as the norm.

Was a good wicket, held up, had a bit in it for the bowlers, great effort by Australia. Khawaja saved the day big time.
