50th Test Match for Captain

Win this and become Pakistan's joint winningest captain

Win this and break a 20 year drought vs Australia in a Test series

Win this and re-enter the top 3 in rankings

100s in both innings during the Test

Joint quickest century and quickest fifty 

A monumental thrashing on the cards

Easy game and a dream 50th Test Match 

Can't say I am surprised by the result

Pakistan beat England 3-0 in these conditions.

Drew twice vs South Africa in these conditions.

Won once and drew once vs Sri Lanka in these conditions.

Australia lost 2-0 in India in 2008

Australia lost 2-0 in India in 2010

Australia lost 4-0 in India in 2013

But without Saeed Ajmal

A vastly inexperienced bowling attack

Australia winning 7 of their last 8 Tests coming into the series

Australia's domination over Pakistan in Test Cricket historically

Having lost all 4 limited over matches prior to the Tests

There were still some doubts...

Special but not sure this ranks in the top 5 Test achievements during his captaincy

Beating England 3-0 in 2012

Drawing vs South Africa in 2010

Drawing vs South Africa in 2013

Winning overseas in New Zealand

Beating Sri lanka 1-0 in 2011 

Six series unbeaten in the UAE. Along with an overseas success in New Zealand. Is that enough to knock Imran off his perch as Pakistan's best Test captain? If he won a maiden Test series in the West Indies and won at least 1 Test match in somewhere like South Africa maybe. IK still ahead just but very close.
