This would easily be Australia's worst, most embarrassing loss in test history if Pakistan get these runs.

Wouldn't be the first time we've lost to Pakistan when they've chased down a large total despite being 8 or 9 down earlier with about 100 runs to get.

Remember 1994??

Stuff T20, this is test match cricket at its finest.

Although it rarely happens, there's something about watching a close test match that is worth savoring and cherishing forever that an ODI or T20 can't offer.
None of this flamboyant shots from Warner or Maxwell, but instead batsmen having to earn their runs and bowlers earning their wickets.

Worst, yes. Not embarrassing for mine, Pakistan will have played a stellar innings to get there

Had them 8/60-odd and the test looked like it would be lucky to last three days...They've batted incredibly well in this last dig but a fair bit of shit bowling and even worse catching has allowed them to. It should never have gotten anywhere close to this situation.

Highest winning fourth innings total of all time is 418- West Indies v Australia in 2003

Really?

I wouldn't have thought it was your worst this year! Hobart springs to mind.

Hobart was bad, but the conditions were very rough for batting and we didn't handle that.

Conceding 500 in the fourth innings at home would be far worse IMO. Maybe not worst ever, but close given the position we were in
