Holy shit, that ending to the Aussie-Pakistan Test Match.

A bowling surface more like concrete then anything really conducive to good bowling. Nearly two full days lost to rain. Pakistan scored 443/9 in their first innings, and Australia scored 624/9 before declaring early on the final day. The game was petering out to an inevitable draw..

except..

Except the pitch all of a sudden got friendlier, and the Aussie attack all of a sudden was asking questions that the Pakistani batsmen weren't prepared to answer. They came out expecting a block and yawn, but the ball was swinging, and turning on them. (In baseball terms, they were expecting batting practice and got the equivalent of Roger Clemens and Charlie Hough in their primes one after another, back and forth)

In the end, with just under an hour left in the match, Australia got the final wicket, Pakistan had only scored 163, and Australia won the match by an innings and 18 runs
