Australia v Pakistan, 2016-17

Wisden's review of the second Test, Australia v Pakistan, 2016-17

From No. 1 to now what have you done

Dismissals, drops, catches offered, trends, they all came together to form a tune that would haunt Pakistan for a long time

It looks over, but thank you Misbah

Maybe it should be, maybe it is time, maybe he should walk away now and enjoy everything he has achieved, has won, has fought for. Maybe he should. But I don't want it to be over
