Well the game India won in 04 was a dead rubber too and if you wanna bring up luck I would say Australia where quite unlucky missing out Shane Warne on the there on the heaven of spin.I think Pakistan have played as well as AUstralia in India have if not better.
Australia barring the 2004 series (where IMo they were lucky to get away with a draw at Chennai) were beaten in every series they played in India since 1996.
They have won a total of 4 tests (one of which was a dead rubber) there over 6 vistis to the country.
Pakistan won there in 1999, drew in 2005 and lost only 0-1 in 2007 - a total of three live wins in 3 attempts.
Plus I would say Pakistan were quite lucky to draw the 1st test in 05 too considering their attack of Sami, Naveed ul Hasan, Kaneria, and Razzaq.
