Australia winning moments vs Pakistan 2nd innings of 2nd Test, Brisbane, November 27 - December 01, 1981
Transcript
00:00Inside edge on the pad
00:07One run to Bruce Laird and then we get down
00:15And that'll be it
00:30Two to Bruce Laird and he turns it into three
00:37But only need registered two
00:40Australia needing three to win
00:42And they get them all to Bruce Laird
00:46Well that was in the third over
00:47It's not by any means the shortest fourth innings in the history of the game
00:51Way back in the body line series
00:52Only one ball was needed to give England victory
00:55In the first test at the Sydney Cricket Ground
00:58First test of that body line series
00:59Here we got into the third over
01:02Australia winning by ten wickets
01:04And that will be a sore disappointment
01:10To Pakistan
01:13Because at different times during this match
01:16They really looked quite capable of saving the game
01:19And of going down to Melbourne
01:21Able to square the series
01:23Well Australia by ten wickets and very very easily
01:26Because in addition to there being five hours and thirty seven minutes play loss
01:30Due to those storms that hit the ground on the third and fourth days
01:34Australia also won with a clear two hours to spare on the fifth day
01:38So it really was a most conclusive victory
01:40And congratulations to Greg Chappell and his team on the way they played
01:43It was very very good cricket they provided for most of the time
01:47Pakistan I'm afraid I can't say quite the same
01:49There's been a lot of talk about umpiring in this series so far
01:53And in one or two of the games outside the series
01:55Well I don't think Pakistan can blame umpiring
01:57For their defeat in this game
01:59Only a lack of expertise
02:01And perhaps a little bit of lack of fight here today
02:04So Australia win the series 2-0
02:06Greg Chappell was man of the match
02:08Quite deservedly so
02:09For his magnificent double hundred
02:10And he did take his 100th test match catch
02:13In this game as well
02:14Next match on the Nine Network
02:16Is the McDonald's Cup game
02:19On Thursday evening
02:21That's between New South Wales and South Australia
02:23We look forward to having you with us for that
02:25And for the other matches during the summer
02:27Good night from the Gabba
02:53We look forward to having you with us for that
02:57Thank you
