It's fun playing Pakistan at the moment:
If they had run two, Misbah would have had three successive scores of 101. As it happens, he has three centuries in a row, Younis has four in five innings, and Pakistan have declared in four successive innings, the first time that has happened.

Just days after a bouncer killed the Australia Test batsman Phillip Hughes tragedy has again struck on a cricket pitch when an umpire standing in a match in the Israeli city of Ashdod was killed after being hit by a ball.The 60-year-old umpire, who was not named, was taken to hospital in the nearby town of Ashkelon in a critical condition and died of his injuries.One of the players who witnessed the incident told the Nana10 website that the umpire, standing at the bowler’s end, was struck by the ball in his face after it ricocheted off the stumps from a shot that came straight down the pitch.Cricket is not a major sport in Israel but Ashdod, where a large number of immigrants from India live, is one of the main centres for it.

yo ShariVari, Windies bowling first at Centurion - Ambrose has been bowling coach for a while now - reckon that they might put on a show? We know Roach can be fearsome and Taylor can swing it but I'm most intrigued to see Cottrell
― imago, Wednesday, 17 December 2014 08:42 (nine years ago) link
Honestly, no. I can forever live in hope though. Haven't seen much of Cottrell for Jamaica but he hasn't overly impressed. A couple of early wickets would be great for confidence though.
