Series win.... almost... [WI-vs-Pak 2000]
Thought this is relevant.... in view of the on-going series... although this one was much closer but both test matches had one thing in common: awsomely amazing blunders :O
2000
A thrilling finish to a series decider in Antigua. West Indies needed 216 to beat Pakistan, but looked dead in the water at 197 for 9 as Courtney Walsh strode out twirling his arms. But his captain Jimmy Adams was still there, and drip by drip (Adams's 48 not out came in almost six hours, with not a single boundary) they saw West Indies to the ninth one-wicket win in Test history. It shouldn't have been so: replays showed Walsh was caught via bat and pad off Saqlain Mushtaq, who then missed two clear run-out chances, one of them a sitter when Adams and Walsh ended up at the same end. Wasim Akram, who had put the burgeoning match-fixing scandal aside to bowl heroically for figures of 11 for 110, was the unluckiest of losers.
Oh i remember this vividly.... it was soo painful believe me... that too coming at the hands of Jimmy Adams :@
