Pakistan are not used to playing against Australia and they are certainly not used to winning against them; this was only a second win in their last 12 ODIs (over nearly seven years) against them. Though not many in this team are scarred by that kind of record, they batted as if that history was firmly on their mind. If this was a weakened, transitional Australia, it was Australia nonetheless and Pakistan can happily point to an absent middle-order bearded wonder and an equally absent lanky fast bowling genius.
But with the added layers of what has happened to Pakistan cricket over the last two months, the broader fate that has befallen them over the last two years, and to a nation seeking cheer as desperately as Susan, it is as welcome as might be a water cooler in the Thar desert. The details don't matter as much as the bigger picture but they are worth noting, if only to sketch an outline over the rest of the series.

the PCB's director general, has said he was 'shocked' by the ICC's 'hasty' decision to move the 2011 World Cup out of Pakistan.
"If safety was their concern then the 2011 World Cup should have been given to Australia and New Zealand and the Asian countries could have hosted the 2015 World Cup," he told AFP. His comments came a day after the Pakistan board confirmed that it had lodged an official protest at the ICC's decision.
Pakistan had been stripped of hosting rights for the World Cup, after an ICC meeting last week, because of the "uncertain security situation" in the country. The ICC had also said that Pakistan was unlikely to resume hosting any cricket at all until 2011.
