8 – Number of times Australia have been whitewashed in a Test series of two or more matches.

Pakistan’s 2-0 win in the UAE , was just their second clean sweep series win against the Aussies. The previous such sweep was in 1982 under the captaincy of Imran Khan. Australia’s last four clean sweep series losses have come in Asia.

356 – The number of runs by which Pakistan defeated Australia in the second Test at Abu Dhabi.

Their second Test victory came with Pakistan’s largest ever margin of victory - their previous record was a 341-run win over India at Karachi in 2006.

The only other time apart from these two occasions when Pakistan had won a Test by more than 300 runs was in 1994 when a Saleem Malik-led side won by 301 runs against Sri Lanka at Colombo (PSS).

It was also just the third time that Australia fell short of a target by more than 350 runs. The other two Tests which they lost by 350-plus runs were against West Indies (408 runs) at Adelaide in 1980 and against England (675 runs) at Brisbane in 1928.

20 – Number of years between Test series wins for Pakistan against Australia.

The last time it happened was in 1995 when Pakistan successfully chased over 300 runs against Australia at Karachi and then drew the next two matches to take the series 1-0. Between 1995 and 2014, Australia had won six out of seven series against Pakistan.

14 – Number of Tests Pakistan have won under Misbah-ul-Haq.

Misbah is now level with Imran Khan and Javed Miandad as the most successful captain in the country’s history.

Misbah is also the only captain from Pakistan to win a Test against eight different teams – with the exception India, against who he is yet to captain a Test, he has beaten every full-member nation. The only captain who has won a Test against all other 9 countries is South Africa’s Graeme Smith.

5 – Number of Tests Michael Clarke has lost in Asia – the joint-most by any Australian captain.

Clarke has led eight teams in Asia and has won only once (against Sri Lanka at Galle in 2011).

Ricky Ponting also lost five out of 12 Tests whereas Kim Hughes was defeated in 5 out of nine Tests.

8078 – Number of runs Younis Khan has now scored after 93 Tests.
