2nd Test, Sharjah, day two:
Australia (310) beat Pakistan (59 & 53) by an innings and 198 runs
Pakistan crashed to defeat by an innings and 198 runs at the hands of Australia after breaking their record lowest total in successive innings.
Their first-innings mark of 59 stood for just a day before Shane Warne's four wickets saw the second innings subside for 53.
It was the 19th lowest ever total in Tests and Pakistan's aggregate 112 is the fourth lowest.
Pakistan captain Waqar Younis advised his team to "forget this match as fast as they can" after losing by an innings and 198 runs in the second Test against Australia at Sharjah.
Australia bowled Pakistan out for humiliating totals of 59 and 53 in each innings - both scores a record low.
Pakistan were missing experienced batsmen Inzamam-ul Haq, Yousuf Youhana and Saeed Anwar for the match.
"We did not play well, the batsmen played poorly. Their inexperience was exposed by a professional side," Waqar said.
Steve Waugh says he would like to see Ricky Ponting eventually succeed him as Australia's Test captain.
Ponting took over from Waugh, 37, at the helm of the one-day side in February.
"I think Ricky is in a similar mould to myself," Waugh said in a pre-match interview with The Australian newspaper, published on Saturday.
"He's pretty aggressive, plays positively and plays it pretty hard. He likes playing for Australia.
"There are plenty of guys in the side who could do the job so it's hard to single one out, but I think Ricky has done well so far and he's got the stomach for the job."
Waugh became on Friday the second player ever to gain a 150th Test cap, and boasts 27 wins from 38 Tests as skipper.
Reeling after their innings and 198 run defeat to Australia, Pakistan have received more bad news with the announcement that all-rounder Abdur Razzaq will be out of action for six weeks - a blow that will see him miss the final Test in Sharjah.
The all-rounder, who was hit on the wrist by a rising Brett Lee delivery during the two day defeat to World Champions Australia will miss the final Test of the series.
