Arthur's Pakistan aiming for history

AFP, Brisbane
The Pakistan team, six years in the making and armed with insider knowledge from coach Mickey Arthur, are poised to make history in Australia, veteran skipper
Misbah-ul-Haq said Wednesday.
Misbah, who exerts a calming influence on the mercurial Pakistanis, believes the side has developed into one that can finally deliver a series win after 11 fruitless tours to Australia.
Pakistan have won only four of their 32 Tests down under and have lost their last nine Tests since their last victory in Sydneyin 1995.
No team from the sub-continent has won a Test series in Australia, further underlining the massive undertaking.
But Misbah is confident the tourists can turn things around against Steve Smith's men, who are themselves emerging from a recent losing five-Test run.
"We took almost six years to develop this team and that team showed a lot to the world when we played in England and in 'home' conditions in Dubai and Abu Dhabi," he told reporters ahead of Thursday's day-night Test at the Cabba.
"So we have a lot of faith and confidence behind that. These players are experienced enough and they have the belief that they can do it.
"We've had some unbelievable successes in the past I think those victories and those performances always give you confidence, even in Australia," Misbah said.
"No doubt the conditions are tough but once you have confidence and belief I think you can change the history.'
Much of Pakistan's confidence flows from the insights coach Arthur has on the Australians after his time as their national coach up to his sacking ahead of the 2013 Ashes series in England.
"He knows the ins and outs of most of the players, he knows their strengths and weaknesses," the captain said. "That's always helpful when you have that sort of inside information about the opposition.
"We feel we have that sort of advantage and he's giving his input to the players how we need to go about the business. That can really help us in making our strategies."
No one has beaten Australia at their Gabba fortress since the West Indies in 1988, but the unique challenge of the first pink-ball Test under lights at the ground makes Pakistan's chances difficult to assess.
"It is not only the Gabba conditions but also the pink ball, day-night Test match," said Misbah, who at 42 is the oldest current Test player.
"The players are not that much familiar with the pink ball and these conditions. That could be a challenge, especially under lights."
