On this day, nine years ago, Australia recorded a famous comeback win over Pakistan in the second Test of the series at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). This victory helped Australia take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Mohammad Asif was the chief architect of Australia’s downfall as he ended the innings with figures of 6/41. Michale Hussey (134) and Shane Watson (97) led the way for the hosts in the second innings as they reached 381 before getting dismissed. Chasing a target of 176, Pakistan lost wickets at regular intervals and there were not even a single half-centurion for them in their second innings.
