00:00:00Good morning, welcome around Australia to Burl Reve Oval in Hobart.
00:00:06This is the second test match in the ANSET series, Australia and Pakistan.
00:00:11The first one a triumph for Australia and one of the best test matches I've seen in the past 20 years.
00:00:16Magnificent game of cricket and this lovely oval will set the scene for the second encounter.
00:00:23From McGrath charging in, and gone, yes he's caught for a dunk, it's worked again.
00:00:30Some rift there, good catch at first rift, superbly bowled.
00:00:38Got him, yes he's out, caught in the gully, that one a little bit of steep bounce there.
00:00:42McGrath's been plugging away and really Ejaz who's now holding his hand, it may even have clipped his fingers.
00:00:49Oh, he's had a go, that one, so it's going down the ground now.
00:00:55It'll be interesting to see how they go about this.
00:01:01This time, he's lofted him again.
00:01:03Very well hit, just the one bounce into the fence, brings up the 54, Pakistan.
00:01:10That was the flipper.
00:01:19And he's whacked this one over the offside, so this really is an onslaught on the bowling of Shane Warne.
00:01:28Keeping him at the crease and keeping the weights on him.
00:01:34This time it's just going to clear cover.
00:01:38Mickey Ponting is the fieldsman in that position.
00:01:41The benefits of positive thinking.
00:01:48Muhammad was him.
00:01:50Trapped beautifully by Warne.
00:01:52He's both two quicker deliveries, three quicker deliveries to keep him in the crease.
00:01:56Then he's thrown...
00:01:57Ponting has dropped back a little.
00:02:01As Tommy picks the gap beautifully along the ground.
00:02:03That's a magnificent shot.
00:02:04And that's come because of his ability to drive the ball well.
00:02:14It's fine to have positive thoughts, but you've got to back them up with execution.
00:02:17And look at that.
00:02:19That wasn't that bad a ball.
00:02:23He's given himself a little bit of room.
00:02:25Really hammered that.
00:02:26This time he takes the easy single.
00:02:39And it's two for 65.
00:02:47Really is going for anything that's pitched up.
00:02:50Muhammad was him.
00:02:51He got a half century in the match against South Australia.
00:02:56And this pair have now posted a 50 run partnership.
00:02:59An invaluable one for Pakistan.
00:03:04Got him.
00:03:05Drags onto the stumps.
00:03:07Very loose shot.
00:03:08But a big breakthrough.
00:03:09That's the wicket the Australians needed.
00:03:14Big wicket for Australia.
00:03:15That's just out.
00:03:19No it's not.
00:03:20And it could be run out if he hits the stumps.
00:03:22Oh, he survives again and he gets to 50.
00:03:25Wow, how is that?
00:03:27Dropped.
00:03:28And a chance for run out.
00:03:30And a well made 50.
00:03:31It's all happening at Belle Reade.
00:03:33Well that's a very good 50.
00:03:35He tried very hard not to make it.
00:03:39That's pulled away.
00:03:41Just through his short leg.
00:03:42Won't go to the gutter.
00:03:45They should run three.
00:03:51Muhammad was in goes to 49.
00:04:01Leading edge.
00:04:02This time it goes over cover point.
00:04:07Very slow running between the wickets.
00:04:08Coming back for the third.
00:04:09He's under a bit of pressure.
00:04:10But he finally makes it.
00:04:11Well driven.
00:04:12Controlled off drive.
00:04:13Johanna moving into the half-volley.
00:04:14And running hard this time.
00:04:16Picks up three.
00:04:18There's a play in form, you see Johanna.
00:04:21Probably near the desired 160, I suppose, to win the Toyota.
00:04:24But good speed and getting a bit of shape away from the right-handers.
00:04:26Trying to swing the ball towards the slips.
00:04:27Want to catch an edge.
00:04:28It's that fine.
00:04:29That lands nice.
00:04:30We're going to race away to the boundary for four.
00:04:31That's well played.
00:04:32Straight onto the leg stump.
00:04:33Worked it beautifully.
00:04:34That's well played.
00:04:35Straight onto the leg stump.
00:04:36Worked it beautifully.
00:04:38It's got hammer trying to swing the ball towards those skills when he talked about.
00:04:39That's a lot of things to get mixed up.
00:04:40But it's great because of what's going on here.
00:04:41In the Toyota.
00:04:42Good speed and getting a bit of shape away from the right-handers.
00:04:43Trying to swing the ball towards the slips.
00:04:44I'm going to catch an edge.
00:04:46It's at fine.
00:04:51That's lands nice.
00:04:54We're going to race away to the boundary for four.
00:05:01Scott Muller trying to swing the ball towards those fields we talked about, this one starting
00:05:08at leg stuff and staying there, nice deflection, Mohamed was him, very fine and this outfield
00:05:15is very fast, the ground is an absolute picture, short effort is actually the tempted in swinger
00:05:21I think from Scott Muller, got the line wrong, looked nice and fine, ran across this outfield
00:05:26very quickly
00:05:33let's hit that beautifully, that's a beautifully timed on drive
00:05:39weapon runs off the over, that's a good one for Pakistan just before 1, 2-3 for 96
00:05:46two slips, two gullies and a point, hit off on the offside
00:05:55he's hit him back over his head, he really has played a superb knock under the conditions
00:06:00young man, not established in the test side, taking the attack up to the Australians
00:06:05he's playing some unorthodox shots too, once again I think he was trying to hit that much
00:06:11squarer on the leg side, it was almost a very thick leading edge, and he's putting the pressure
00:06:18on the Australians, he's not prepared to play shots, see they're trying to hit it I think
00:06:23a little bit squarer, it's like an off spinner again from
00:06:26in the end, through the gap, oh dear
00:06:33well that one looked for a second as if it was going straight to the third slip fieldsman
00:06:39but well, a bit of a break, a bit lucky
00:06:43good going away, through to the keeper, time and again
00:06:48he's played that shot well again, beautifully played, short delivery
00:06:52absolutely nonchalantly dispatched away down towards square leg
00:06:57good shot this one
00:07:00combining short length with straight line
00:07:04and on good batting pitch that's put away, just like it was there
00:07:09it has always been a favourite area, a lot of young folk go up onto the hill
00:07:14and of course up in the stands there, it's nice and comfortable
00:07:21pretty good atmosphere at Belle Reve this morning
00:07:27in the air, oh what a good catch, what a good catch, beautifully taken Mark Waugh
00:07:31one handed to his right, it went straight in
00:07:35well that's good catching, they've dropped two
00:07:39but perhaps we've seen the last of the dropsies
00:07:46well it takes great things to make great partnerships
00:07:52well that's an excellent shot
00:07:53that's been a trademark of this innings from Mohamed Wazim
00:07:57every opportunity he's had to put the ball away, he's done it
00:08:01he certainly hasn't, he's put that away to probably the longest part of the ground
00:08:06and he's timed it so well, it's gone all the way for four
00:08:10he has picked his shots very well
00:08:12he was in and played his shots right from the word go
00:08:14he's very strong on the onside
00:08:16see that that ball was outside off stump
00:08:18it was the length he went on
00:08:20full ball from McGrath
00:08:22just used the wrist and the bottom hand
00:08:24to punch it through mid on
00:08:26beautifully timed
00:08:27but his best score against another side other than South Africa is 26
00:08:31and that's the reason his average is only 33.6
00:08:37he's played that shot extremely well today
00:08:39a couple of times the ball's been banged in short
00:08:45it's been dispatched
00:08:46Pakistan four for 144
00:08:56blew it chasing, they pick up an easy two
00:08:59yeah the bowler
00:09:00batsmen don't mind it if the bowler continues his follow through down the pitch
00:09:05as long as he maintains his line
00:09:07and if he's in a reasonably predictable position all the time
00:09:10then the batsman knows where he is
00:09:13no complaints there
00:09:16and Glenn McGrath saying
00:09:17well it's a little surprising to see you out here so early Uzzah
00:09:21and if you look at the way he's dominated this innings
00:09:2491 from 148
00:09:26the other thing to look at is the ball's faced
00:09:29121 for 91
00:09:31that for an opening batsman on a pitch that's doing a bit when
00:09:34this
00:09:37and edge and well taken
00:09:40so Scott Muller coming back into the attack
00:09:43has got the breakthrough with Adam Gilchrist taking a magnificent diving catch
00:09:50tremendous catch
00:09:52Adam Gilchrist
00:09:56and that's going straight to mid on
00:09:58so Mohan Khan has got a leading edge
00:10:00and
00:10:01dolly the catch to Glenn McGrath at mid on
00:10:04yeah
00:10:06yes he's out
00:10:07he's out
00:10:08that's gone off the bat
00:10:09and rolled back onto the stumps
00:10:12just judging by the way Gilchrist behaved there
00:10:15the ball was running back towards the stumps
00:10:17the batsman didn't realise it
00:10:19big shout
00:10:21pad first
00:10:22unplayed Peter Willey looks
00:10:23and he gives him out
00:10:25probably a very good decision
00:10:26look to be straight on
00:10:28Peter Willey adjust him
00:10:29LBW
00:10:33oh and big appeal there for court behind
00:10:35and that's the end of Wazim Akram
00:10:37Shane Warne has eventually got him
00:10:42oh and a short one and that's the end of that
00:10:44short delivery and well
00:10:47he got himself into a really bad position there
00:10:49backed away a little bit as the ball started to rear on him
00:10:52that ends the Pakistani innings
00:10:57all out for 222
00:10:59with all the bowlers chipping in for a few wickets
00:11:02I think when Steve Warne sent the Pakistanis in he would have settled for something around about there
00:11:07it's a beauty
00:11:10it's a beauty
00:11:15it does I just handled it all right
00:11:18great shot perfect cover drive superb batting five up the over
00:11:23no wicked for 57
00:11:24oh that's got him yes it's got him beautifully taken
00:11:26Moen Khan takes that right handed
00:11:28what a lovely catch that was
00:11:29so young Mahmood has struck
00:11:31the ball before was a good one it surprise blew it that was a perfect line it had blew it stretching a little bit and what a good catch
00:11:49make that four boundaries
00:11:52yes very good shot
00:11:57well that's beautiful struck what a way to go to lunch and Michael Slater is heading off there for a quick bite to eat
00:12:07Australia one for 134 chasing 222
00:12:12oh superb
00:12:14what a Gordon Greenwich in that square drive
00:12:20good shot through the gap four
00:12:24beautiful cover drive
00:12:26we've seen a few of those today
00:12:28not many of them better than that one
00:12:32Slater on to 95
00:12:34oh and he's dropped him
00:12:37he's dropped him
00:12:39he got dropped in the 90s in Brisbane
00:12:40and it's happened again
00:12:42a little outside edge to the captain
00:12:45and down she goes
00:12:47awful
00:12:51and he's hit it and he's hit it straight to mid wicket that's it he's out caught
00:12:54well
00:12:56that's his seventh dismissal in the 90s
00:12:59Michael Slater he did go into his shell a little bit didn't he
00:13:02he got stuck at the crease a little bit there
00:13:04dropped it slip
00:13:06that'll be a big relief I tell you for the captain of Pakistan
00:13:08but listen to this crowd
00:13:11that's a very good delivery he thinks it's hit the pad first
00:13:15and the umpire Peter Willey agrees with him
00:13:17Waka was very strong in his appeal there
00:13:20LBW number 86 another unassisted dismissal for Waka Eunice one of his signatures too
00:13:27shouts of catch it yes he's been given by Peter Parker
00:13:31there were two noises but I think Justin Langer feels as though he might have clipped the inside of his pad with his bat
00:13:41it was a very sharp catch
00:13:42oh that's beautifully bowled by Waka
00:13:47huge appeal but Peter Willey is unmoved
00:13:52absolutely unmoved
00:13:53Waka Eunice cannot believe it
00:14:04big shout on this occasion
00:14:06and must have been just going down the leg side
00:14:09Waka is well in this little spell he's back to his best
00:14:13one way to go yet
00:14:21oh he's bowled him
00:14:23oh it's all happening that's superb cricket
00:14:25Waka Eunice knocks over Ricky punting
00:14:28back to back ducks and this test match is alive and well
00:14:30Waka Eunice is born in the form of old
00:14:34that's great bowling
00:14:36it's troubled both Slater and Langer
00:14:40LBW Mark Waugh and this is quick
00:14:46oh and he may have dragged out there
00:14:49it was a very quick piece of work by Moen
00:14:52I would say the top spinner has gone right through the gap
00:14:55Gilchrist looked to be playing for the spin
00:14:57hit outside it
00:14:58quick work from Moen
00:15:00he's very quick to take the ball
00:15:02and get the bails off
00:15:04you for the wicket keeper or again the wicket keeper
00:15:07for the wicket keeper and so is the third umpire
00:15:09Gilchrist goes
00:15:11magnificent bowling Sir Clain Moostark
00:15:13that is a brilliant delivery
00:15:17oh and he's bowled him
00:15:19so Sir Clain is on a hat trick
00:15:22and he may well have got that one with the top spinner as well
00:15:25well how many times have we seen Shane Warne bamboozled batsman
00:15:31well this is Warne facing Warne
00:15:33it's gone the wrong way again
00:15:36an off spinner is not supposed to spin this way
00:15:38all goes straight on
00:15:39look at that and it's accurate enough to hit the off stump
00:15:42the Pakistanis love it
00:15:43it's a clean on a hat trick
00:15:49oh he's beaten him
00:15:51he's beaten the outside edge
00:15:53and Moen has whipped the bails off
00:15:57never pleasant for a batsman with
00:15:5925 Pakistani fieldsmen around you in such a mood
00:16:03oh gee whiz
00:16:06Peter Willey had to call there's no doubt
00:16:09I'm glad I'm here
00:16:13well that is amazing I reckon he has lifted it's a matter of
00:16:18when he's lifted
00:16:20is it at the time when the bails are coming off
00:16:22now the bails
00:16:26well the foots the foots up and then back down again
00:16:33and I think he might be gone
00:16:35and if he gets the decision it'll be 100 for Moen
00:16:39and it'll be part of a hat trick so what a tremendous well
00:16:43I've given the benefit of the doubt to the batsman
00:16:46oh gee whiz
00:16:53I guess
00:16:55it was
00:16:57it was difficult
00:16:59but it did appear that the foot just came up at the moment the bale came off
00:17:05oh big shout there the quicker one and he's found him right in front
00:17:09he didn't get the hat trick
00:17:11but he's got three in the one over
00:17:12this is a magnificent piece of bowling
00:17:15from suck line
00:17:19in the air got him yes out caught
00:17:21Steve Waugh going for it on the offside
00:17:23and Ejaz catching that one that is a better catch by Ejaz
00:17:28it was hit pretty firmly at him
00:17:32oh that's it out stumped
00:17:34that's it and what a magnificent performance by suck lane
00:17:36his best figures in test match cricket
00:17:40he's taken six he's taken when they were taking them when they were needed most
00:17:44and well it's brought a smile to a few of the Pakistan faces
00:17:49a tremendous recovery
00:17:52it is and it set the game up for a magnificent finish as well
00:17:55well that's the shot he loves he smashed that one away on the offside
00:18:02he's a very very aggressive player and what a way to get off the pair
00:18:06he's got it
00:18:14Mohamed Wazim goes
00:18:16Scott Muller has picked up the wicket with
00:18:20Mohamed Wazim being caught at mid on
00:18:23it was a good performance
00:18:24it was a good performance
00:18:28oh shot
00:18:31Scott Muller's just dropped a fraction short
00:18:34side and why who I thought was just looking to survive
00:18:37was onto it like a flash
00:18:39oh well played he's got that away square and that's gone down to the boundary for Paul
00:18:47big shout
00:18:49and he's given him
00:18:51Peter Parker this time
00:18:52Judge is in the affirmative
00:18:55Stock Lane Wooshtark's not a
00:18:58Inzerman O'Hawk
00:19:00comes in to replace
00:19:02side Anwar
00:19:04Inzerman's
00:19:06Vanning Graaff it's pretty consistent
00:19:08just a
00:19:09bit of a lean spell
00:19:11in there but he's got the big double hundred
00:19:15very good striker of the ball
00:19:19as you can see there
00:19:20it's beautifully played
00:19:23four off the over
00:19:25three for one forty
00:19:27oh well played onto the front foot and he's not running
00:19:33he doesn't like running very much
00:19:35he changed his mind there and decided to have a little trot because he wasn't all that sure about it
00:19:39next Tony
00:19:42well that's clipped very very firmly
00:19:45just one bounce and crash into the backward square leg boundary
00:19:51well that's a beautiful shot
00:19:54brings up the two hundred
00:19:59well that's hit like a rocket
00:20:05behind square
00:20:07oh there goes that cut shot
00:20:10oh he's got him he's got him what a catch
00:20:13he blitzed it straight at wall

00:20:16he couldn't have hit it any harder
00:20:18well
00:20:20one wonders whether deserved a wicket
00:20:22however they all count
00:20:24cut
00:20:25got him yes out
00:20:27caught
00:20:29well he was closing the face on that one
00:20:31and trying to play through the onside
00:20:33and there must have been just a little bit of movement away
00:20:36towards the slipcourt
00:20:37and that was
00:20:39and McGrath continues
00:20:43beautiful shot
00:20:48Marm has been in fine form throughout this tour
00:20:51all the pace bowlers at this stage
00:20:55we're trying to keep a little bit of shine on the ball

00:21:27so Shane Warne has got the breakthrough

00:22:06we've got the big celebration out of him
00:22:07in
00:22:09oh he didn't let me down
00:22:10he's going again too
00:22:16great knock
00:22:18great knock
00:22:20I think it's his first
00:22:22in the second innings for Pakistan
00:22:24oh well played
00:22:29oh well played
00:22:31oh that's a beautiful shot
00:22:34that's a lovely shot
00:22:40beautiful shot
00:22:42oh great shot
00:22:44a genuine late cut
00:22:48Muller hasn't been completely happy
00:22:49most of this innings
00:22:50well there's that shot off the back foot again
00:22:55he's done that with ease
00:23:01lead now 310
00:23:05some glorious strokes
00:23:07one difficult chance here
00:23:09a hot one
00:23:1080
00:23:11for the great innings
00:23:14Sunday
00:23:15in case there is some
00:23:18oh big appeal there
00:23:19there was certainly a noise
00:23:20and he's got him
00:23:22well done Damien Fleming
00:23:24that's a good line
00:23:25it looked to me as if it was a little quicker as well
00:23:28a thick outside edge
00:23:30and a very important wicket
00:23:33let's watch the ball here
00:23:35as it goes past the edge
00:23:37now then
00:23:42let's go
00:23:43what a catch
00:23:45Mark Waugh
00:23:46that was a genuine late cut off the top edge
00:23:48and he caught it as clean as a whistle
00:23:50that was just a pure reflex job
00:23:53and what reflexes they are
00:23:55that really flew from Inzimam Alhuk's bat
00:23:59he's made very few mistakes in this innings
00:24:01and this was one of the rare ones
00:24:04what a brilliant catch to finish it off
00:24:06that was really flying
00:24:07the ball was past him
00:24:09that is unbelievable reflexes there from Mark Waugh
00:24:14and Inzimam Alhuk is gone for 118
00:24:18Pakistan 8 for 357
00:24:20there's a chance
00:24:26Gilchrist's got it
00:24:27hits the stump
00:24:28that's close
00:24:29I think he's got him
00:24:30what a good piece of work
00:24:31by Adam Gilchrist
00:24:33that's another wicket for Australia
00:24:34the early part of the fourth day
00:24:36in the half volley length
00:24:38oh and that's in the air
00:24:40this will be the end of the innings
00:24:41taken by Blewett
00:24:43that's the end of a very useful partnership
00:24:46Shane Warne brought onto Bowling for the win
00:24:51hanging the ball up there a little bit
00:24:53he tried to smash it to mid wicket
00:24:55and Shane Warne has ended up taking 5 wickets yet again
00:24:595 for 110 in 45.4 overs
00:25:02good effort
00:25:04it's a joy to watch
00:25:06it's not easy
00:25:07facing a man at this pace
00:25:09or hit him on the arm
00:25:10or somebody
00:25:11going for the catch
00:25:12they reckon it's out this time
00:25:13umpire Parker
00:25:15unmoved
00:25:16well
00:25:17they thought it must have struck a glove
00:25:18or something on the way through
00:25:19Slater's walking away
00:25:21this will be a very interesting replay again
00:25:26and then slipped it in
00:25:28oh good shot
00:25:30well he likes it outside off stump
00:25:32he plays the cut shot brutally
00:25:34he did in the first innings
00:25:35and anything out there
00:25:36he'll have a go at it again
00:25:38words out there between Slater and
00:25:40and Shoaib
00:25:43oh and he's pulled that one away down to square leg
00:25:47Slater's taking him on
00:25:49this is so good
00:25:51this is a seriously good battle
00:25:54oh he's got him, he's got him, it's well bowled
00:25:58beautifully bowled
00:26:00well Slater's taken to him
00:26:02and at the end of the day
00:26:04Shoaib Acta has won the little battle
00:26:06he got him to edge that one
00:26:07it was very well taken actually
00:26:09that ball was flying away towards Slater's
00:26:12Justin Langer walks to the crease
00:26:15it's not exactly the perfect birthday present
00:26:18walking out there to face Shoaib Acta
00:26:21but it does present a challenge
00:26:27Shoaib Acta
00:26:29oh he's lost that one
00:26:30and it's four
00:26:32full toss outside off stump
00:26:34and all he had to do was get some bat on that one
00:26:37well, I think that might have been his birthday present
00:26:49oh and that's hurt him
00:26:51that's hit him straight on the glove
00:26:53well this could have done some damage
00:26:56that was a full toss
00:26:58and it's hit him straight on the hand
00:27:01and it's also the fastest ball that he's bowled
00:27:05now this could be problems
00:27:07for the batsman on the full
00:27:09it looked as it was into his top hand I think
00:27:12it looked like hand or was it wrist
00:27:27just have to see if we can pick this up
00:27:30it looks as if he's
00:27:33it's fingers I think
00:27:34so
00:27:38so
00:27:42it was the right hand
00:27:43and it's hit him
00:27:45I would think
00:27:46on the knuckles
00:27:47that's about as close as we could get to it now
00:27:50just wants him to
00:27:52the physio wants him to keep moving each finger
00:27:59that's how it happened
00:28:00above waist height so it's very difficult to play
00:28:12particularly coming at that speed
00:28:15around about 93, 94 miles an hour on the old scale
00:28:20and he instantly went through the gate
00:28:21likes to sweep Justin Langer
00:28:31just beats Inzimam into the boundary
00:28:36you may see
00:28:38Mozemekra move Inzimam down there on the sweep
00:28:40he's way too square
00:28:42Justin Langer
00:28:44does like to sweep
00:28:45he's been working on that shot since
00:28:47the Sri Lankan tour
00:28:48he sweeps around about that area
00:28:51does tend to lap the ball around the corner
00:28:55Waka Yunus is continuing
00:28:57but he's coming around the wicket to try and avoid that
00:29:00foothole problem
00:29:04very ginger start too from Waka Yunus
00:29:07on that occasion
00:29:09the problem that Waka Yunus has got now
00:29:11it's not just those holes that we talked about
00:29:13and we showed you last over
00:29:15well
00:29:17not so sure I entirely agree with that
00:29:19I believe you have two choices at number 3
00:29:21you can have
00:29:23as David Boone was very much
00:29:25the type of guy who could come in after the loss of an early wicket
00:29:27and accumulate runs and get you out of trouble
00:29:30shouts of catch but he's found the gap perfectly
00:29:36and it's a way to the boundary for 4
00:29:37the boundary for 4
00:29:40it was in the air
00:29:42big cry of catch it
00:29:43from Waka Yunus
00:29:45I think maybe for Moen Khan as well
00:29:47it was the attempted cover drive
00:29:49from Justin Langer
00:29:52it just tipped away from him
00:29:54that out swing
00:29:56wasn't there
00:29:58hit it in the air
00:29:59between that man at point
00:30:00and the catcher at gully
00:30:02desired result
00:30:03he wanted to hit it
00:30:08very important innings for Australia
00:30:09and Justin Langer
00:30:11big score here
00:30:13ties up the number 3 spot
00:30:17only 26 test matches
00:30:18not a lot in modern times
00:30:20oh that's out
00:30:23did it reach him
00:30:24yes it did
00:30:25he's staying there
00:30:26he's saying it didn't carry
00:30:27Blewett's not happy with that
00:30:28and the umpires are going to confer
00:30:30now there's a knot in the head
00:30:31and he's giving him out
00:30:33yes so that is obviously confirmed by the square league umpire
00:30:35umpire Willie
00:30:37well a thick edge there to a ball
00:30:39which really looked short
00:30:41and it was out there to be cut
00:30:43oh that's out
00:30:45plumb LBW
00:30:46plumb LBW
00:30:47what a wicket that is for Pakistan
00:30:50on the back foot
00:30:51standing in front of his stumps
00:30:53and well
00:30:54all I can say is that
00:30:55it may just have nipped back a little bit
00:30:58it was a mistake to play back
00:30:59I think it was probably just a little bit too far up
00:31:03Bold was uh definitely
00:31:05his uh
00:31:07his mystery ball
00:31:08you could see there
00:31:10just went the other way
00:31:11and Steve wore right back
00:31:13watching it like a hook
00:31:14like a hook
00:31:16that one is nicely played
00:31:18Justin Langer
00:31:19gets on top of those
00:31:20and runs them off the face of his bat
00:31:21into the gap
00:31:23that was a good shot
00:31:25he plays a lot of balls in that area
00:31:28Justin Langer
00:31:30consequently the Pakistan captain
00:31:32has plenty of fielders behind the wicket
00:31:34that's a very good late cut
00:31:36the placement was absolutely spot on
00:31:38oh he's taken a brilliant catch
00:31:43so Suck Lane has got the breakthrough
00:31:46gee that was hit firmly
00:31:47and very low to the ground
00:31:49and the little off spinners grab the beauty
00:31:51yes
00:31:52yes
00:31:53Steve Ward walked away before that delivery
00:31:55trying to recompose himself
00:31:57slow the bowler down
00:31:59Suck Lane Mushtuck tossed up the beauty
00:32:01bit more air
00:32:02tie Steve Ward to drive
00:32:04hit it well
00:32:06very good catch
00:32:07low to his left
00:32:09and that's the big wicket
00:32:11oh he's gone across a long way
00:32:13and it is a pair for Ricky Ponting
00:32:15so half the Australian side are now back in the pavilion
00:32:20and that'll be a very disappointed Ricky Ponting
00:32:25yes we made the mistake of going back here
00:32:30Foritelanga
00:32:31for the Gilchrist
00:32:34well there's a
00:32:36there are
00:32:37perhaps 40 minutes
00:32:3850 minutes of play left this evening
00:32:41and there's going to be
00:32:42a lot of pressure
00:32:43to be precise
00:32:44they're 15 overs
00:32:4640 in direction now
00:32:52one
00:32:54it'll be very interesting to see how Gilchrist plays
00:32:56I suspect he'll play his normal way
00:32:58he's a very aggressive player
00:33:00and that sweep shot's an example
00:33:03there's just plenty of problems
00:33:04even for batsmen in form
00:33:08that's a good shot
00:33:10wasn't all that loose
00:33:11and Gilchrist is a very, very aggressive player
00:33:15he's got that right off the middle of the bat
00:33:18yes he's also a lovely timer of the ball
00:33:23he didn't really try and hit this too hard
00:33:25just watch this
00:33:27right to the back foot
00:33:28and boy
00:33:29that just kept going and kept going
00:33:30way down
00:33:32way down over the boundary at deep at wicket
00:33:39oh and that's very well hit again
00:33:42beautifully swept away for four
00:33:44right off the meat of the bat again
00:33:46what a striker
00:33:49this is why it's important to play your natural game
00:33:51because it just discomforts the bowler
00:33:57that's a lovely shot
00:33:59he is a good sweeper
00:34:01now that's forced to feel change
00:34:03and that's another reason it's a good thing to play your natural game
00:34:07if you're all out defence
00:34:09if you're a good striker
00:34:10full pitch and he puts it away
00:34:15freed the arms Justin Rang
00:34:17and it's a glorious cover drive
00:34:20the river end
00:34:26that's 50 and that's well played
00:34:31under pressure
00:34:32rippy fighter
00:34:36rippy fighter
00:34:37to find innings
00:34:43not over exuberant
00:34:45rippy smiling inside
00:34:46but he knows he's got work to do
00:34:48great match
00:34:49for a man who was under pressure
00:34:51so called pressure
00:34:53brilliant performance once again
00:34:55somewhat unlucky to get out in the first innings
00:34:57now he's got a chance to make sure he stays in the second innings
00:34:59he
00:35:07see the puffs there
00:35:08break with the board and an attacking player
00:35:09and then suddenly you go onto all out defence
00:35:11you probably get yourself out
00:35:17full pitch and you put that away
00:35:18he doesn't miss those Adam Gilchrist
00:35:20he timed that beautifully
00:35:21that'll go all the way for Thor
00:35:26they definitely should try something Bill
00:35:28as I said I think they've got to find a way of getting a top edge
00:35:31out of a sweep
00:35:33I think Suclain's starting to lose
00:35:36this is off spin
00:35:38and starting to show that he is tiring
00:35:41a flat full toss
00:35:43it's bread and butter for Gilchrist
00:35:44the ball going to ground
00:35:45sweep shot and
00:36:00Enzeman's not all that quick
00:36:01this may go for four
00:36:02it does
00:36:03that's through
00:36:04mid off slow to turn
00:36:17that's Blackie Eunice
00:36:19that'll bring up his 50
00:36:21what a time to make a 50
00:36:22or even more
00:36:24they're looking for four
00:36:25they might get it
00:36:26they might get it
00:36:28no says Gilchrist
00:36:36good decision too I think
00:36:38two fifties and three innings for his country
00:36:43another beauty
00:36:44he's played that forcing shot on the offside
00:36:51better than any of the
00:36:52the other batsmen
00:36:54here he goes now
00:36:56the Royal Pindy Express
00:37:01off line and nicely played
00:37:04he's certainly placing them very well
00:37:06and that is frustrating
00:37:18it was charging in there
00:37:20and a big glare from the Royal Pindy Express
00:37:26and of course Gilchrist perfectly justified in pulling away
00:37:30there was someone walking
00:37:32crossing that screen area
00:37:35he was ready to go wasn't he
00:37:38and right there
00:37:40pulls up a correction
00:37:42it wasn't actually
00:37:43it wasn't anyone
00:37:45it was
00:37:46he was moving
00:37:47I think he's saying that the fieldsman was moving
00:37:48as he was running in
00:37:50I think that's what it was
00:37:53the man at mid on
00:37:56had drifted to another position
00:37:58chances are this one will be a bouncer
00:38:03oh he's running around all over the place there
00:38:06and quite right too
00:38:08yes
00:38:10I don't think that's
00:38:12that's acceptable the way he was carrying on at mid on
00:38:15so Klain was running around in all directions
00:38:17and that caught the corner of the eye of Gilchrist
00:38:20and I think Gilchrist is perfectly justified
00:38:23in complaining about this certainly pulling away
00:38:26and so they're asking him
00:38:29you know it doesn't mind if you're walking straight
00:38:30this business of jumping around all over the place
00:38:33he was he was carrying on
00:38:35he really was carrying on jumping left jumping right
00:38:38you can't do that
00:38:42well no point at me saying that he just did it
00:38:44he did it
00:38:50and if he does it again then Gilchrist will pull away again
00:38:55the placing thing there
00:38:57to me was that Wasim Akram
00:39:00didn't immerse himself in the discussion at all
00:39:03oh he's missed it
00:39:16and the fast bowler's down as well
00:39:21that's the Klain carrying on a little bit there
00:39:23and then he gets one and misses it
00:39:26made off the over
00:39:28five for 2.19
00:39:35nicely played onto the front foot
00:39:37very confidently played by Langer
00:39:41well fielded by the captain
00:39:43Wasim Akram was after that in a flash
00:39:45he's developed the slide
00:39:46and gets rid of the ball very quickly
00:39:50there's a big shout
00:39:52but the umpire has not moved at all
00:39:55so the fact that some of this appealing is going on
00:40:00does tell you that there's a little bit of a worry in the Pakistan camp
00:40:07look at this one
00:40:09well there's definitely a noise there
00:40:11hit me a noise and said
00:40:14if it did anything it hit the underside of the bat
00:40:16or the toe of the bat
00:40:18Wasim Akram
00:40:20he can't believe it
00:40:21Justin Langer looking down the wicket
00:40:23Wasim Akram
00:40:25completely disappointed
00:40:27quick look in the snickometer here
00:40:29big noise there
00:40:31about the time it passes the toe of the bat
00:40:33hit the feeling Justin Langer may have got away with one there
00:40:36and Gilchrist has been so positive with his batting
00:40:41hitting everything in the middle
00:40:45bit of a miss field there as well
00:40:48almost allowed them to come back for a fourth
00:40:51nice and great
00:40:57smash by Adam Gilchrist
00:41:01the fieldsmen surrounded it down there
00:41:07a lot of frustration on that man's face at the moment
00:41:14running in a lot quicker
00:41:17he's binded the ball at the moment
00:41:19you see there a couple of deep breaths
00:41:22it's the short wide one and Adam Gilchrist says thank you
00:41:26I'll have a
00:41:28I don't mind them there
00:41:30man
00:41:31I think the third man ends up doing well actually
00:41:40does reasonably well in the end
00:41:41cuts it back to two
00:41:47that runs absolutely smack through mid wicket
00:41:51so was him Akram just losing the plot a bit at the moment
00:41:56it's five for 244
00:42:02Pakistan are annoyed about the fact that there are still five wickets in hand
00:42:06and it's having an effect on their play at the moment
00:42:09now
00:42:12that's another very good shot
00:42:14from Adam Gilchrist
00:42:17his timing and placement today has been superb
00:42:25that's the 250 up for Australia
00:42:31straight into the gap once again
00:42:33he's picking the gaps magnificently
00:42:35Gilchrist
00:42:37it's five for 254
00:42:39there you got Mark Warren ponting and started the rot in the first innings
00:42:47oh and that one short and hit the way beautifully
00:42:51he loves that short ball and gets into position so quickly
00:42:57not that short and this has been a bit variable in bounce but
00:43:01gee whiz
00:43:03onto it quickly
00:43:07crunch
00:43:09the partnership now 140
00:43:11that becomes a new record partnership between these two countries
00:43:16right he's on strike two slips
00:43:19straight down the ground that'll be it what a beautiful shot
00:43:23it's running away down towards the deep long off boundary
00:43:27into the fence it goes and that is a superb century
00:43:30wonderfully played
00:43:45he's first in his career
00:43:47We'll never forget it, first test century, tenth first class, no one at the ground here
00:44:07will ever forget it, and I hope the viewers won't either, it's going to be a very special
00:44:13hundred in the memory of a lot of people.
00:44:17They'll become an even more special hundred if they win the match, 101, eight fours, a six,
00:44:26and just a hundred and ten balls, that gives you some idea of how superbly he's played.
00:44:43Wacko Yunus has had no impact whatsoever, but he has celebrated his hundred, Adam Gilchrist,
00:44:50pretty obvious he liked it too, went off, nothing compared to the call, he knew he'd hit it in
00:44:55the middle of the bat, straight down the ground once again, it was either going to be four
00:44:59or a minimum three.
00:45:00Yes!
00:45:01Come on!
00:45:02Come on!
00:45:03Come on!
00:45:04Come on!
00:45:05Come on!
00:45:06Come on!
00:45:07Come on!
00:45:08Come on!
00:45:09Come on!
00:45:10Come on!
00:45:11Come on!
00:45:12Come on!
00:45:13Come on!
00:45:14Come on!
00:45:15Come on!
00:45:16Come on!
00:45:17When he sort of got his fists together and celebrates it there.
00:45:23And then it was come on, come on, I think after that.
00:45:31Owen Kahn was totally opposite to this emotion.
00:45:34He didn't like it too much, but Hilly was in danger of getting hugged to death here by Langer.
00:45:40That'll only make Justin Langer even more determined.
00:45:45Shot. That's four. That's down the hill.
00:45:47Gave him some room. He doesn't even run.
00:45:53Justin Langer certainly enjoyed that one.
00:45:56Not really noted for his cover driving.
00:45:58Generally just pushes them through the offside for twos and threes.
00:46:01This time, swung through a lot more.
00:46:04And he timed this beautifully.
00:46:05And he does not even move, Justin Langer.
00:46:07He knows the moment he's hit that ball, that's four runs.
00:46:10That's beautifully timed.
00:46:11Talked a lot about tactics today and right or wrong.
00:46:14I think one of the things they have done wrong is the fact they've stayed too long around the wickets of the left-handed batsman.
00:46:20Good shots. He's gone for the york and he's dug it out beautifully.
00:46:28And he's timed it so well to almost go for four.
00:46:30Happy with three.
00:46:36Happy with three.
00:46:41Great shot.
00:46:44Just a single.
00:46:45Time left to perfection.
00:46:46There's been very little reverse swing in this innings.
00:46:52To get him feeling really confident.
00:46:58And he just keeps doing that.
00:47:00Hitting balls into the gap.
00:47:05Such a crisp drive.
00:47:08It was four.
00:47:09The moment it left the bat.
00:47:12I'm sure the middle of there tried to move in the direction of the ball,
00:47:14but he was never going to get to it.
00:47:16It was on him before he had a chance to move, really.
00:47:25We heard the Pakistanis say that they tried to pitch the ball up more.
00:47:32Wazi Makram was the man who said it to get the old ball to swing.
00:47:36But if it doesn't swing, it's nice to drive.
00:47:38And Bill Christus made the most of that.
00:47:44It's five for 3.08.
00:47:50And there's the hundred for Justin Langer.
00:47:53He's fourth in test cricket and second against Pakistan.
00:47:56He has superbly played.
00:48:18Wonderful fighting innings.
00:48:20When he's backwards to the wall as well,
00:48:22he was up against the possibility of being dropped out of the side.
00:48:26And he's answered in the best possible fashion.
00:48:29He's scored this hundred when it was really required.
00:48:35He's looking at Langer's chart there.
00:48:38This is the area I'm talking about down here.
00:48:41He loves to run the ball away into that third man area.
00:48:44But he's also scored plenty of singles and twos all around the wicket.
00:48:50He's very capable when it comes to nudging it away for one
00:48:54into the little open spaces around.
00:49:00Catch!
00:49:01That was hit in the air, but hit very hard.
00:49:03That's another example of that beautiful timing.
00:49:12It wasn't quite there, was it?
00:49:14We had to adjust a little bit.
00:49:15It went in the air for about, perhaps, 20, 30 metres.
00:49:19Very close to the ground, mind you.
00:49:22Just wide of the bowler.
00:49:24You can see there, bouncing, well, perhaps,
00:49:27just a little beyond the wickets at the far end,
00:49:31of the line of the wickets, right off the middle of the bat again.
00:49:35He's timing the ball beautifully.
00:49:43Sarklain's flighting the ball, inviting the drive.
00:49:47And this is where Gilchrist has taken the match away from Pakistan.
00:49:50He did it yesterday.
00:49:52He really got after Sarklain,
00:49:55and he was the first player to start scoring
00:49:57at regular intervals off Sarklain,
00:49:59and that's changed this game.
00:50:01Yes, it certainly was a tempter, that delivery.
00:50:06Up a little bit more and outside off Stump,
00:50:09and just clipping the edge of the rough.
00:50:22He's not able to stop that.
00:50:23Gilchrist just goes on finding the gaps.
00:50:26No second slip, so that's a pretty safe shot.
00:50:42Well, it wasn't a great attempt.
00:50:56Well, beautifully into the gap.
00:50:58He's timed that one very sweetly.
00:51:00It's five for three thirty-eight.
00:51:12This time, Justin Langer gets it straight to ground.
00:51:15Thanks, that's my point.
00:51:28Thanks, that's my point.
00:51:31Plays the sweep, which he's been playing so well.
00:51:46It's another four.
00:51:47There's some interesting body language going on out here.
00:51:57First of all, the swing away to the onside.
00:52:01Then, as the ball hit the boundary, and Justin Langer was completing his second run.
00:52:06No one knows where that's gone, or Gilchrist does.
00:52:17He's the one who knows.
00:52:19It's gone crashing into the pickets and the advertising hoardings at mid-wicket.
00:52:24It was one of Shoah Baktar's really quick deliveries, and Gilchrist hurled himself at it and smashed it away.
00:52:37Time and time again, we've seen it.
00:52:43It's a miraculous stretch.
00:52:46Beautiful square drive.
00:52:47Shoah Baktar coming around the wicket and angling the ball in.
00:52:49It's five for three sixty-one.
00:52:54Nice stroke, nice timing again off the back foot.
00:53:05In Perth, a lot of people are delighted about this, as will be the case in other parts of the world.
00:53:16That's out.
00:53:20Langer has gone.
00:53:22Only five runs needed to win.
00:53:26It almost looked as though he was trying to pick them up from that particular shot, that one delivery.
00:53:35Gilchrist has had a word with him on the way out, and he's had a word with Gilchrist.
00:53:38The shot that both Massen have played so well.
00:53:45Good flight.
00:53:46Turned a little bit, just a little bit more outside off than he had been sweeping on.
00:53:50Going for the glory four.
00:53:52Deserved it.
00:53:53Inzerman good enough to hang on to it.
00:53:55Very appropriate reception from all here at Belle Reve, I'm sure, at home, and from Mr. Langer.
00:54:09Six for three, six for three, six for three.
00:54:13Six for three.
00:54:27Three balls to go in the sober.
00:54:29That is very useful for the Australians. He has smashed a four.
00:54:36It's a very relieved pat on the backside there from Shane Warne, who may not have to face anything.
00:54:45And he'd be delighted with that. Let me tell you, this has been a real test.
00:54:51There's been no hiding in this match. Right to day five.
00:54:57A record-breaking partnership, making it look easy on a toughish pitch.
00:55:04Pakistanis have been very, very hard this match.
00:55:07The emotion that the Australian batsman has shot.
00:55:12And that is it. That is the winning run.
00:55:20And Gilchrist is telling Warne to get down the other end.
00:55:27Warne had plenty of hands in the victory with his bowling.
00:55:32The Australians have pulled off what I think is one of the finest victories I've ever seen in test cricket.
00:55:39Down and out yesterday. Five for 126.
00:55:44And two men batted almost the whole of the final day up to the point where the winning runs were hit.
00:55:52Adam Gilchrist, 149 not out. Justin Langer, 127. Superb performance.
00:56:02Remember this day because it's something special.
00:56:05And that is a superb century.
00:56:08And there's the hundred for Justin Langer.
00:56:12That is the winning run.
00:56:14Yes, and historic day indeed. We'll have all today's cricket action in sports tonight shortly.
00:56:26Hello, I'm Tim Webster. Also in the show.
00:56:28The angry boys of golf.
00:56:30I don't think it's good enough that players don't come back and support.
00:56:34I can choose to play when and where I want.
00:56:37And I missed the Australian Open and I got slammed down here.
00:56:39Rugby league in court again.
00:56:41And our greatest athletes of the century.
00:56:43Three and four jumps, the officials made him go back to his original order.
00:56:47And first, officially 1,700 people watched Australia win today at Belle Reve Oval.
00:56:51In years to come, when the match is remembered as one of cricket's greatest,
00:56:55thousands will claim they were there to witness the historic victory.
00:56:58Two blokes who definitely were there, Adam Gilchrist and Justin Langer.
00:57:02Their partnership of 238 allowed Australia to reach six for 369,
00:57:06the highest fourth innings target reached on Australian pitchers,
00:57:09and the third highest in test history.
00:57:12And here's another couple, the stand between Gilchrist and Langer,
00:57:15the third highest sixth wicket stand in Australia,
00:57:17the tenth highest in all test matches.
00:57:19All of that, and it's Gilchrist's first tonne in just his second test.
00:57:24At five for 126, even the most ardent Aussie fan wouldn't have given us a chance.
00:57:30But then no one took into account the batting brilliance of Adam Gilchrist and Justin Langer.
00:57:35And he just keeps doing that, hitting balls into the gap.
00:57:38It's another four.
00:57:42The dynamic West Australian duo survived this close call.
00:57:46Everyone except umpire Peter Parker and Langer believed he was out.
00:57:50Gilchrist rubbing salt into the wound.
00:57:52Akram sent to the boundary, frustrations boiling over.
00:57:55And that one's absolutely smacked through mid-wicket.
00:57:58So was him, Akram, just losing the pot a bit at the moment.
00:58:03Speed machine Shoaib Akhtar tried to deliver the knockout blow.
00:58:06That's a beauty.
00:58:07It was quick, right on the money.
00:58:10Gilchrist thought he was still in the one day team.
00:58:13His first test century coming from just 110 balls.
00:58:16And that is a superb century.
00:58:19Fellow rescue worker Justin Langer cocking up his fourth Test 100.
00:58:23Much to the delight of his dad.
00:58:25They're superbly played.
00:58:26Wonderful fighting innings.
00:58:28But even with the Aussies in cruise control, Mother Nature threatened.
00:58:32The Aussies shifting into overdrive.
00:58:35Yeah!
00:58:37It's a wrecking stroke.
00:58:40There's some interesting body language going on out here.
00:58:43The sixth wicket survival mission coming to an end after 238 gritty runs.
00:58:48That's it, DJ!
00:58:49That's out.
00:58:50Adam Gilchrist fittingly finished one of the finest Test resurrections ever seen.
00:58:55That is it.
00:58:57That is the winning run.
00:58:59And Adam Gilchrist, he has played superbly.
00:59:02If he plays 100 Test matches, I don't believe he could play better innings than that.
00:59:05Australian Cricket's number one fan in raptures.
00:59:08I'm informing the House, Mr Speaker, that Australia has scored a remarkable win in the second Test.
00:59:13No, Prime Minister.
00:59:14Rod Mayley, 10 News.
00:59:16Oh, that's definitely up there with the best of them.
00:59:17I think that's the best partnership I've seen in Test match cricket.
00:59:19And there is the bore that will go down in history.
00:59:24Pakistan somehow managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
00:59:27There was speculation Justin Langer was on his last chance in the test,
00:59:30but he said it all just washed over him.
00:59:33I knew that the only support I needed was from the captain,
00:59:38who said to me before the Test match started that it doesn't matter what the press is writing,
00:59:43he wants me in the side, the selectors want me in the side.
00:59:46So, at the end of the day, that's the only support I need.
00:59:48It's almost like being on death row for the week leading up to it, though.
00:59:52But I guess that's all part and parcel of playing cricket for Australia.
00:59:56Like I say, that was the great support I've got from the captain, which means a lot to me,
01:00:02which was the main motivation more than anything else.
01:00:05Yeah, it wasn't a bad birthday present.
01:00:07It's always nice to make some runs any day of the week, but I suppose it's a little bit more special on your birthday.
01:00:13Although I'm getting old, so I better try and get a few more hundreds in before I can.
01:00:17When Moza Macram came back, I said, OK, mate, this is a crucial spell.
01:00:21If we get through this, we'll be right.
01:00:23And then, after he had bowled a few overs, they brought back, show it back to us.
01:00:28OK, this is a crucial spell if we get through this.
01:00:31I think I was still saying that when we had about 18 runs to go.
01:00:36I can't remember too many wins like this.
01:00:39We normally win when we're going well and in front.
01:00:41This is the sort of win that we've been looking for for quite a while.
01:00:44To come from behind and to do the really hard work in the last day
01:00:48and to chase like this was a tremendous team effort.
01:00:52So this is as good a test win as I've played in.
01:00:55And we interrupted the celebrations of hero Adam Gilchrist to have a chat with the unbeaten Centurymaker.
01:01:01Well, Adam Gilchrist, what about you? A remarkable win.
01:01:05Yeah, that's right, Tim. It was an amazing victory.
01:01:08I guess the batting today was, you know, the highlight.
01:01:11But I think what the bowlers did, particularly in the second innings,
01:01:15when it was really tough conditions to bowl, a beautiful batting track.
01:01:18We, you know, they compiled a good score, but we just stuck in there and everyone, you know, never gave up.
01:01:23And it could have been a lot bigger lead that they had.
01:01:25So it was all credit to everyone in the team.
01:01:28Yeah, Stephen Waugh called it a team effort, but you're certainly an emotional bloke.
01:01:31And it showed when you knocked off the ton and then the winning runs.
01:01:34You're a very happy fella.
01:01:36Yeah, yeah, I do get a bit emotional at times.
01:01:38And, yeah, try not to let it overtake your game.
01:01:41But, you know, just when you're in a situation like that, it wasn't a big crowd there today.
01:01:47You know, it's pretty small, but the ones that were there were vocal and supportive and singing songs about us.
01:01:52What did you and Justin say to each other before you went out this morning?
01:01:55I think the same as what we said yesterday when the partnership started.
01:01:59Justin, when I approached the crease, Justin just said, look, you never, never know what could happen.
01:02:04So that was our philosophy, I guess.
01:02:07Yeah, but you didn't hold back when the ball was there to be hit. You hit it.
01:02:10Yeah, I think you've got to try and play your natural game in pressure situations.
01:02:15Obviously, you know, yesterday was a difficult time to go in and I just tried to occupy the crease really.
01:02:21Well, the third highest successful fourth innings run chase in test history.
01:02:25It's a record six wicket partnership and a couple of other records as well.
01:02:29I mean, they're all very well, but the way of the win is the most important thing.
01:02:33Yeah, that's right. The fact that it was a victory.
01:02:36You know, we've had a couple of four of the invincible team from 48 with us all week.
01:02:41Great.
01:02:42And that's just been a big thrill for us.
01:02:44Regardless of the result, it's been an opportunity for us that not many people get.
01:02:47Yeah, I know it was a team effort, but personally, mate, it must be very satisfying.
01:02:51I mean, you got the job under slightly controversial circumstances and your test debuts in the first two couldn't be better.
01:02:58Yeah, no, it's been an amazing couple of weeks.
01:03:01It's, you know, I think what Tim Horan said after the World Cup, he couldn't ever, didn't ever dream of winning two World Cups.
01:03:09But this can't be a dream come true for me because I never dreamt that anything like this could happen.
01:03:14And just finally, there seemed to be a fair bit of feeling out there today.
01:03:17I guess the Pakistanis pretty frustrated.
01:03:20Yeah, that's right. It was a tough test match.
01:03:23There was, you know, reports of a lot of verbals on the field.
01:03:26Yeah, it was there. It was evident.
01:03:28But no one's come away complaining about it, you know, as the players.
01:03:32It was a hard-fought game.
01:03:34Well, you know, in our opener tonight, we said, remember this day because it's very special.
01:03:38It certainly has been for you.
01:03:39Well done and thanks very much for your time.
01:03:41No problem. Thank you.
01:03:43Adam Gilchrist, absolutely brilliant today.
01:03:46Despite today's win, Australia has made two changes for the third test starting in Perth on Friday.
