I can only watch one at a time. Plus the Dallas Cowboys play tonight (will be on TV).
Thinking about India for an hour at 9 and then will this be the most important of the two?

LOL, I almost did hashtag, Cricket here.




Thank you!

for the follow-up post Sounds like a plan.

This game should be over quick with Australia taking 2 wickets and winning.
( the game in India will be a draw, but may have some interesting little battles. I will focus on that once Ozzie game is done)

I would NOT mind if Pak "did the impossible" and scored 100 runs to win. I believe that would be all time RECORD number of runs to score in a 4th innings and win? I'd have to check that.
Pak required total 490.

ETA - The record is 418 with a WIN:
West Indies 418/7 won v Australia, St John's, 9 May 2003, Test # 1645

FRIGGIN' Australia SHOULD have enforced the follow on like I told the!!!

Who listened to me?

Fucking nobody.. that's who!!
