Steve Smith's Australians wrapped up the three-coordinate arrangement with a Test to save in a sensational second innings pulverization of Pakistan in two sessions in Melbourne on Friday to open up new determination conceivable outcomes for Sydney.

"I generally trusted that on the off chance that I couldn't add to the group then it's no point remaining there. I haven't chosen (about Sydney) however how about we see," Misbah said after the vacationers lost by an innings and 18 runs.

While the end looms for the man who has guided his nation to a greater number of triumphs than whatever other Pakistan commander - 24 in 52 Tests — Australia have different contemplations.

Spinners Steve O'Keefe and Ashton Agar have been incorporated into a 13-man squad for a Sydney Cricket Ground wicket that is relied upon to turn.

Mentor Darren Lehmann raised the possibility of playing two of his three turn choices — the other is Australia's best off-spinner Nathan Lyon — to the detriment of paceman Jackson Bird with an all-rounder coming in.

Pakistan is confronting their twelfth straight thrashing since their last Test win in Australia in Sydney 22 years prior.

Misbah was inconsolable after the Melbourne second-innings failure on great batting surface that had seen the groups score a sum of 1,067 first-innings runs.

"In the wake of scoring 443 try not to be in that position to lose a Test coordinate on the most recent day," Misbah said.
