Speaking of big hitting…….
Here is the scorecard when Lance Cairns went ballistic.
Not sure a player with such a modest batting record has EVER had such an aura…..
Check out the strike rates of some of the guys in front of him ? Fuck me, no wonder he had a slog, they were batting like Geoffrey Boycott in a sedate mood batting for a draw…..Coney with two runs off 23 balls, what the FUCK Jezza ?

By that stage they were desperately trying to not lose anymore wickets.
They were fuck all for heaps chasing what may have well been a billion (yeah, ok they chased 29summat a few weeks earlier v England, but thus was the first time anyone had hit 3-hundy.
Cricket had yet to develop the "oh fuck it" mindset, because white ball was still pyjama cricket,and one did not throw one's wicket away.
Was a depressing watch as a young teenager regardless of Cairns.

Wow, Bangladesh get their first win over Pakistan. Given their history, I'd imagine there's a fair amount of feeling there.
Pakistan started day 5 at 23/1, trailing by about 70 odd, and barely even made Bangladesh bat again (they ended up needing to chase 30). I was sure that was going to meander to a dull draw.
