Pakistan smell massive victory - chairman - 10-26-2014
Pakistan took a huge step towards victory in the first Test by taking four key Australian wickets after hundreds from Younis Khan and Ahmed Shehzad put them in the driving seat in Dubai on Satuday.
After setting an imposing 438-run target, Pakistan rattled the Australians through a brace of wickets apiece from spinners Zulfiqar Babar and Yasir Shah to leave Australia tottering on 59-4 at stumps on the fourth day, needing six wickets for a 1-0 lead in the two-Test series.
Chris Rogers (23) and Steven Smith (three) were at the crease as Australia need another 379 for an unlikely win.
Australia's best chase to win a Test was way back in 1948 when they made 404-3 against England at Headingley while their best chase against Pakistan was 369-6 at Hobart in 1999.

Pakistan has a knack of knocking down top-tier teams.

And day seeing the Aussies toppled by anyone is a good day.
Well done Pakistan.

Khan seems to be going great guns at 36!
Misbah is still doing well. I believe when he came back into test cricket he was averaging in the 30s but now he averages 47+
