Unlikely victory satisfies Ponting

Captain Ricky Ponting rated Australia's 36-run win over Pakistan in the second Test at the SCG among the most satisfying of his career.

The hosts dismissed Pakistan for 139 on a dramatic fourth day to cap an incredible triumph after the hosts posted just 127 runs in their first innings.

"I don't think anyone else in the world other than probably all the blokes inside our room thought we could win," said the Australia captain.

"We felt that if we could get 150 we were going to be right in the game."
