Here's Afridi's blitz in full. Check out them poor girls crying (literally) in the stands when Afridi's dropped at the 10:40 minute mark. Hahaa, there's a reason they say cricket is a religion in the subcontinent!

So the big question today is - how long can de Villiers and du Plessis stonewall for? We know they have few equals on that front. Are we in for a series-saving epic, or will the Aussie pacemen rip through the defences?
Holy shit that's just incredible. Can't believe the boundary ropes are so far in on what's already not a large ground, but never mind that - what a masterclass from Afridi. I kind of feel bad for Bangladesh though; they've been struggling along for so long and I'd like to see them make some big strides forward soon.
And yeah, no kidding about that crowd!
Well we fucked it up. Awesome.
Interesting discussion going on on twitter right now... why is 'Paki' deemed offensive but we all use 'Windies'? I know that in some circles 'Paki' is the equivalent of 'Abo', which I learnt a few years ago to never ever use, but how did that come to be?
