Iconic Image: The Psychology of a Test Wicket


Recommended Posts

Big brooding fast bowler surrounded by 10 men. He'd been patient for several overs like a caged animal. Before this delivery Yasir was bowling around the wicket but as this was the last ball he had to face, Younis told him to go over the wicket and bowl for a drive outside off stump. Misbah moved more men around the bat to increase the pressure. Also Safraz kept on chirping "unbelievable shot" before the ball. So Gabriel finally got a ball he thought he could hit and the rest is history. This is the full story behind the "unbelievable shot"

it could've easily ended 10,20 overs earlier, Hasan cudv grabbed one of Chase catches, wicket-taking delivery from Abbas was the only, or first no-ball he bowled... but felt like nature scripted the match to end this way; match had to go down the wire and more intense and close it went, more memorable it became... Loved the way Misbah remained cool and composed with a smile till v last moment and input of Younis Khan in v last ball will also be remembered... It was amazing on last day, like every exciting Test match, how intensity kept increasing in Last session then last hour and even last over... Test cricket at its Best...
