With Misbah and Younis bowing out together, it is only fitting to conclude our countdown with a glance at what those two, as a pair, provided to Pakistan cricket. It is easy to see why they are feted as they are: they have combined for 3213 runs when batting together, averaging 68.36. That is the highest aggregate for any batting combination in Pakistan's history.
Even more illuminating is when you isolate the number of runs they scored in partnerships in Test matches Pakistan won. That adds up to 1613 runs at an astonishing average of 89.61, once more the highest aggregate Pakistan cricket can boast of. In short, if you needed Pakistan to make runs that helped them win Test matches, Misbah and Younis batting together was the answer.
