MalikAnasAhmad - no one has a prob with early finishes. just that suddenly numerous matches seem to finishing in 3-4 days - Ind-Oz, SA-SL, now Eng-Pak. This cartoon (unimpressive imo, btw) just highlights that.

@royzahid: Its not making fun of Pak victory... (if anything its making fun of England and India - who lost in 3 days).... So just relax & unbunch your glutes! Its just a cartoon - a fun medium to poke around recent events - it means nothing once you are done laughing (or not laughing).

"Doosra" means 2nd and "Teesra" means 3rd. The comments about Teesra was not about a new delivery but it was actually a confirmation that 3rd day will be the end game LOL

So many tests have ended in 3 or 4 days recently....So it appears that test matches have become shorter. That's the joke!!
