Pakistan had stunned the world no.1s in the first test match when they beat the South Africans with almost an innings defeat as they needed just 40 runs in their second innings to win the first test match at Abu Dhabi neutral venue.
For the South Africans, this was a big blow as they had not lost a single test in three years and had won all their 15 test matches.
Interestingly, ten years ago yesterday, South Africa lost a Test match in Lahore. A week later they had been defeated in the series, after a drawn game in Faisalabad. They only went back to Pakistan once after that, four years later. Then, they won.
