Cricket:Australia pulled off a stunning second-Test victory over Pakistan at the SCG, bowling the tourists out for 139 to win by 36 runs and clinch the series.
Chasing a modest 176 to secure their first win over Australia in 14 years, the tourists collapsed badly under intense pressure from the ever-improving Australia attack.
Spinner Nathan Hauritz took five for 53, including an astonishing caught and bowled to claim captain Mohammad Yousuf, with Mitchell Johnson claiming three for 27.
Doug Bollinger chipped in with two wickets while Peter Siddle bowled his heart out without reward after his earlier heroics with the bat had helped bring Australia back from the dead.
The hosts trailed by 206 runs on the first innings but revived their hopes with 381 second-innings runs, largely thanks to 97 from Shane Watson and an unlikely 123-run ninth-wicket partnership between Mike Hussey (134 not out) and Siddle (38).
Only twice in 132 years has Australia come back from a bigger deficit to snatch victory.
The hosts take an unassailable 2-0 lead into the third and final Test in Hobart, which begins on January 14th.
