One of the best Test matches in the history of the sport!!!!!

Just the 4th ever instance in the history of the sport, that a team has a won after being asked to follow-on. And they've done so by a margin of 1 run. Literally the barest of margins for victory in a Test match. It's the joint-closest margin of victory in a Test match ever. And that too in a match that went well into Day 5. This is historic stuff!!!!!

I. Fucking. Love. Test. Cricket.

Anyone who mocks this format without understanding it, is a fucking fool

This all I know about cricket.

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game

Women play too

Sounds like Baseball? Except that has 10 umpires. And you need to repeat 9 times (sometimes).

You apparently aren't aware of the joke. I don't even follow cricket and I know the joke. But yeah I'm sure women love to play cricket as is the case with any sport. Humans like to play them. Next time I will edit it so that it clears the the PC bar of acceptance. Apparently even old ass jokes have to be all inclusive now. Moron.
