Giants amongst men: Younis and Misbah take a bow
The fact that Younis Khan and Misbah ul Haq saw the team break one last record in their final game is a cherry on top.

One of the best test series win and I am so happy to see Misbah and Younis go off the field with their heads high. Credit goes to PCB for setting an example for all of us to follow. Good job done.

2 legends of the game,and what a way to end their carrier.Its icing on the cake.
My best wishes to them for the life ahead.these 2 and cricketers like Sachin,Rahul Dravid,Mahela,sangakara have always let their bat do the talking instead of themselves on the field. No wonder we will miss them.

Great ending. Clearly Misbah has the team's respect. I am not sure but I see Afridi's annoyance at "no proper farewells" a reason for the team's accolade for Younis and Misbah here. I hope this trend continues .Either way...respect skipper.

Younus khan is rahul dravid of Pakistan.he always starts his innings slowly once he settles down his sublime timing shots are classic.Where as Misbha always goes in to a shell(May be due to captaincy burden ) but his midwicket and long on sixers are gorgeous. I have been watching cricket for a long time.Almost all sharjha matches ( last ball six by miandad was unbelievable) I watched on television.But due to the politics we lost great heroes.both teams excel only if they play each other

These were the last of our Giants. Now our team suddenly look ordinary in tests. We need someone to fill in their shoes. A huge task but necessary.
Kudos to both Misbah and Younus to make us proud.

Kudos to the team for winning the series!
Misbah and Younus deserve a lot of credit for their service to the cause of cricket in Pakistan. Misbah - in particular - stood like a rock on innumerable occasions, and gave his best for his team. He deserves our thanks for entertaining us, as well as showing us time and again - through his quiet manner - that playing for one's country is a privilege!
Younus' batting was a joy to watch, when he got in full flow.
Best wishes to both for their well-deserved retirement! Time to hang up your boots, gentlemen.

My life long expectation to see Younis Khan reaching 10,000 test runs for the first time as a Pakistani player is wonderful achievements etched in my memory and thus brought glory to the Country by winning the test series in West Indies by 2-1. Pakistan Zindabad from Sri Lanka.
