Pakistan break 20-year trail, comprehensively beat Australia

Pakistan achieved their first series win over Australia in 20 years with a thumping 356-run win in the second Test in Abu Dhabi on Monday, taking the two-match series 2-0. The elusive win lifts Pakistan to number three in International Cricket Council's Test rankings behind number one South Africa and Australia.

The defeat was Australia's third worst in all Test cricket behind their 675 run loss against England in Brisbane in 1928 and by 408 against the West Indies at Adelaide in 1980. In contrast, Pakistan registered their biggest win in terms of runs, beating their 341-run victory over India at Karachi in 2006.

it seems like a team work, because if not good fielding, not good bowlling then no match win. many times we played well in terms of batting but our fielding was so bad and batting was flop same say we had good bowlling and batting was fielding ruined the victory. cricket is all rounder game.

Congratulations to Misbah and his team for a historic victory in the Test Series against Australia the second best team in the world. It was a team work.this time our batting and fielding was excellent.the bowling was outstanding and lethal for the Aussies. I think we should give credit to Moin khan who is chief selector for selecting a winning team and new young talented players. We should not forget,that WaqAr Younus has worked hard withe boys.batting coach Flower and veteran leg Spinner Mushtaq Ahmed has done magic in coaching the young spinners.
