Yep your right. your bowlers aren’t good enough to go though this Pakistan in normal conditions, you need the lights to do it.
You must have missed Babar and Rizwan's last innings. If a timely declaration gives your team maximum advantage (as it did), why would you throw that away just to score another 150 runs you don't need? ...and they still couldn't get Babar out!
I live in SA. The weather forecast for Sunday is pretty ordinary, and rain delays are very likely. Again, why risk a result and bat on for runs you don't need?
Nobody will remember this game, it’ll be another walk over that is forgotten. Had warner broke the record, regardless of result it would have been talked about for years.
You might not want to remember it, but any game where Bradman's record is equalled or broken is remembered big time.
Not being disrespectful, but breaking Hayden or Lara's record doesn't quite have the same charm.
