I think this victory will be remembered as one of the most remarkable ones in the history of Pakistan Test Cricket
KARACHI: Pakistan completed a stirring win over Australia in the second Test to sweep the series in the UAE 2-0, and in the process, recorded their first Test series win against Australia in 20 years. Misbahul Haq, the captain, led the way in Pakistan’s huge 356-run win in Abu Dhabi, and completed a memorable two Tests for Pakistan, who had won the first Test in Dubai by 221 runs.
Several records were broken and new benchmarks set over the two-Test series. Younus Khan led the way with successive centuries in the first Test, and a double century in the first-innings of the second Test. Misbah joined the party in the second Test, setting a record for the quickest Test half-century and equalling the record for the fastest Test century.
I think this victory will be remembered as one of the most remarkable ones in the history of Pakistan Test Cricket. This series win was a result of tremendous effort on the part of the Pakistani cricket team. At this happy moment, all Pakistani citizens should support our national team and appreciate it for its dramatic and historic win.
