16 - Pakistan have lost each of the 16 Tests they have played in Australia since the start of the 1999 tour. It's the longest losing streak for a team in any one country, with Bangladesh's 13 at home between 2001 and 2004 the next longest.
2 - Captains with ten-wicket match hauls in Tests for Australia, including Pat Cummins in the Melbourne Test. Allan Border was the first, bagging 11 against West Indies in the Sydney Test in 1989.
12 - Captains before Cummins with five-wicket hauls in both innings of a men's Test. The last of those was Rashid Khan, while on his captaincy debut against Bangladesh in 2019. Cummins also became the first Australia captain to achieve the feat - Border had picked up seven and four in that Sydney Test.
2008 - Dale Steyn was the last bowler before Cummins with ten or more wickets in a Test in Melbourne. The previous Australia bowler with a ten-for at MCG was Bruce Reid in 1991, when he took 12 wickets against India.
252 - Test wickets for Cummins, making him the tenth Australian to get to 250 wickets in the format. Cummins' average of 22.32 is the second best among the ten, behind Glenn McGrath's 21.64, and his strike rate (46.7) is the best.
1 - Test with two 50-plus scores and two five-fors by captains before the MCG Test. Here, Cummins took two five-fors while Shan Masood scored two half-centuries.
The 1983 Test between Pakistan and India in Faisalabad had Imran Khan claiming five-fors in both innings and scoring a century, while Sunil Gavaskar scored a hundred in India's second innings.
41 - Babar Azam's score in the second innings at the MCG - his highest in Tests in 2023. The last top-six batter to end a calendar year without a fifty for Pakistan, having batted eight or more Test innings, was Basit Ali in 1995.
8 - Pakistan have bowled Australia out in both innings of a Test eight times out of the 39 they have played in Australia. The MCG Test was only the second instance of Pakistan getting all 20 wickets in their ongoing 16-match losing streak in Australia.
19 - Wickets by Pakistan fast bowlers in Melbourne are the most by them in a Test in Australia, surpassing the 18 in Sydney in 1977. The 19 wickets are the most by Pakistan quicks anywhere in a Test since taking all 20 against Zimbabwe in Harare in 1995.
