Nice job playing then getting out on balls you should have left alone, Australian top order. You fucks.

How many easy catches have Pakistan dropped now? I want to believe they're not going to throw this, but, well, Pakistan.

Smith should just try and farm the strike. Can't trust this tailender at the other end.

Not like they need a run a ball. I don't care how many bruises they get - just stay at the crease, and Australia win.

Watson imparted tremendous spin on that ball, knowing the angle of lights, the difference in the grass, the relative humidity, and the current tidal pull, to ensure it bounced out of the fielder's hands - he is playing 5-dimensional chess, while you arseholes are playing checkers. Recognise his genius.

Clearly dropped it on purpose because Australia are worse with Watson at the crease than literally anyone else

Yeah, for all that fire and brimstone hurled at Watto, Smith is happily accumulating at the other end with just over a hundred left to get, Pakistan's in real trouble now.

When they did the split screen vision just watching bowlers reaction as catch was dropped all i could think was The Simpsons: "you can see the exact moment his heart breaks"
