Former Players Slams Pakistan Exit from T20 Worldcup

Saturday, 6 October 2012

Pakistan's exit from the World Twenty20 has drawn criticism from several former players. Sri Lanka beat by Pakistan 16 runs. The team has qualified for the semi-finals in each of the four World T20s, winning the title in 2009.

   1.     The inconsistency of Shahid Afridi and Imran Nazir prompted former fast bowler Aaqib Javed Pakistan's bowling coach, to question their place in the side.

   2.     Former captain Zaheer Abbas and leg spinner Abdul Qadir were surprised at the decision to exclude all-rounder Abdul Razzaq from the playing Eleven.

3.     Former fast bowler Sikander Bakht views about Afridi and called for dropping other senior players in the side as well. "Its time for a change and drop Imran, Afridi, Kamran Akmal, Shoaib Malik, and ensure they don't come back again."

4.     "I don't think Abdul Razzaq has been treated fairly and given the respect he deserves as a senior player with many match-winning performances to his credit," Qadir said.

5.     Abbas said: “the captain Mohammad Hafeez had made some poor decisions, leaving out Razzaq being one of them along with not trying Kamran Akmal as opener.”

England beat India to seal 3-0 series win

Saturday, 17 September 2011

CARDIFF: England defeated India by six wickets in a rain-affected match here Friday to complete a 3-0 one-day series victory over the reigning world champions.

India looked to have posted a formidable total after piling up 304-6 off their 50 overs, with Virat Kohli lashing a superb century and veteran Rahul Dravid contributing 69 in his farewell one-dayer.

However sporadic rain showers delayed the start of the England run chase at Sophia Gardens, and when play finally resumed England had been set a revised Duckworth-Lewis target of 270 to win in 40 overs.

England captain Alastair Cook and number three Jonathan Trott both contributed half centuries before debutant Jonny Bairstow slashed an unbeaten 41 with Ravi Bopara 36 not out to steer the hosts to victory.

Cena says Rock shouldn’t complain about anything with all the success he has. Cena says Rock looks at him and just flips out for some reason. Punk says he didn’t show the clip so Cena should go off on The Rock. Cena says Punk thinks he’s a product of the system, a little too PG. Maybe a modern-day Hulk Hogan, he says.

Punk recalls winning WWE’s ECW Title years ago.

Punk says Cena gave up on his dream when he moved to California to be a bodybuilder and ended up being a sports entertainer because he couldn’t hack it. Punk says he set out to be a pro wrestler and made it. Punk says he held up to WWE to get the same opportunities that Cena is given.

Punk says Cena will leave SummerSlam with nothing, nothing at all. He will still have his role in The Marine 4, his match with Dwayne and his legions of fans that pee in their pajamas when they think of him but Punk will be the WWE Champion, he says. Cena looks humbled throughout this, except when he’s smirking. Another Punk chant breaks out. Cena tells Punk that was a great speech. Cena tells Punk he won one match at Money in the Bank, he has every right to be called the WWE Champion. Cena asks Punk if he has thought what happens if he actually loses at SummerSlam. Cena says Punk is right, he will face The Rock either way at WrestleMania. Cena says Punk needs this match more than anything because he now has people watching him. Cena says if Punk doesn’t back it up on Sunday, he’s nothing but a loud mouth, one-hit wonder. Punk will be known with the other one-hit wonders, Cena says. All of is this is gone for Punk, just like that, if he doesn’t win at SummerSlam. Cena wishes Punk good luck. Punk says luck is for losers and he would much rather be a one-hit wonder than a phony.

Cena says they have been talking long enough and stands up to fight. Punk says he can also kick Cena’s teeth down his throat. They throw the table aside and come face to face. Laurinaitis steps in between them. Punk reaches out to kick Cena but Laurinaitis gets laid out. Cena charges Punk with a right hand and it hits Triple H, it looks like. Punk goes to the floor and asks if the fix is in with Cena and Triple H together. RAW goes off the air with Punk having words with Cena and Triple H from the floor.

He says that this is his first State of the Showski Address and he says that there are going to be a lot of changes.

Ezekiel Jackson’s music plays and he makes his way to the ring. Zeke tells Zack that he knows what he is thinking. Zack must think that Zeke is going to come out here and rip his head off like a bottle cap for putting him in a handicap match against Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase last week, but he isn’t. Zeke says that he wants to talk about why he was put in that match. Zack says that they talked about it before the match Zeke says that he was going to use his limited power to make not make it a handicap match. Zack tries to find the right words to give a proper answer while keeping his head on his shoulders, but he is unable to say anything because . . .

Cody Rhodes’ music plays and he comes out with Ted DiBiase. Cody tells Zeke that the proper term is sour grapes. He says that conduct is as unbecoming as some of the faces he is witnessing right now. He says that Zeke doesn’t really deserve to be a champion. When Ezekiel loses, the Championship loses because Zeke is making it look bad. The simplest solution is that he defeats Jackson for the title and then something happens that hasn’t happened in a long time. He resurrects the image of the title, just like he resurrected the career of his ‘friend’ Ted DiBiase.

Jackson says that he isn’t resurrecting anything. He says that Ted is being used. Jackson says that he knows what it is like to be used. He was being used by Wade Barrett to serve his massive ego in The Corre until he shoved it down Wade’s throat. Jackson says that there is nothing better than freedom.

Cody says that Ted wants to associate himself with Cody because he is associating himself with a future. It pains him how Jackson’s ignorance is turning the Intercontinental Title into a memento of mediocrity. He says that Ted has free will and Cody is suggesting that Ted go to the ring and beat Jackson. Cody tells Ted that his is up to him and the esteemed Associate General Manager.

Ryder says that is cool with him but Teddy Long comes out to make an announcement but it must not be that important because he has to do the Playa Shuffle first. Ryder joins in the dancing in the ring. Teddy tells Zack that he doesn’t care what sounds good to him. Teddy says that Ryder is not the assistant General Manager, he is Teddy’s assistant. Instead of making a match, he will be part of a match. Zack will be facing Ezekiel Jackson tonight. Teddy says that Cody and Ted are banned from ringside during the match.

Woods tees off at PGA Championship near Atlanta

JOHNS CREEK, GA: Several PGA professionals gathered around the tee on the first hole at Atlanta Athletic Club, breaking into applause when one of their own hit the fairway with his opening tee shot Thursday.
About that time, Tiger Woods was heading to the putting green to begin warming up for the PGA Championship, still seeking that 15th major title.
Under a rising sun and cloudless blue sky, Craig Stevens of Dallas teed off in the opening group at No. 1. Stevens was one of 20 club pros in the field for the final major the year. Over at the 10th, Ryan Moore led another threesome beginning its day on the back side.
Two hours later, Woods teed off in a group that included U.S. Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III and 2008 PGA champion Padraig Harrington of Ireland.

Woods, who hasn't won a major title since the U.S. Open more than three years ago, missed the past two majors while letting injuries in his left leg properly heal.
Minor damage from a mowing accident on the 17th green had been repaired, although the brown edges of the new sod were visible. The PGA of America ruled the damaged area would be treated as ground under repair.
Paul Goydos settled in for what could be a long day, with no guarantee that he would even get to play.
Goydos has been the first alternate since the start of the week, and three days later, nothing had changed.
"I've got to stay on the tee," Goydos said. "There's like a blue line, and I've got to be inside the blue line, standing there like I'm a vulture. I told them they should give me a black hood and a scarlet letter. It's an uncomfortable position that I earned."
Goydos, a two-time winner on the PGA Tour who shot a 59 last year at the John Deere Classic, was at least allowed to play practice rounds.
The PGA Championship has the strongest field in golf, so strong that even the alternates can win, as John Daly did in 1991 at Crooked Stick. Goydos said he was not bothered that 57-year-old Jerry Pate, playing in only his second major in the past 20 years, asked the PGA for a special invitation even though he knows he can't contend.
Pate wanted this to be his farewell to major championship golf because he won his only major — the U.S. Open in 1976 — at Atlanta Athletic Club and was born in Georgia.
"I don't think he's taking a spot," Goydos said. "Arguably, you could say the way I've been playing, maybe I'd be taking up a spot. My record in the majors is nothing to write home about.
"For a player to complain, that's petty at best."
Dustin Johnson took a similar approach last year, when a two-stroke penalty on the 72nd hole kept him out of a playoff with Martin Kaymer and Bubba Watson.
Kaymer went on to beat Watson, while Johnson is forever linked to one of the greatest mental blunders or all-time rip jobs, depending on your point of view. He had to take the penalty for grounding his club in a patch of dirt that only vaguely resembled a bunker.
Johnson still isn't sure that's what it was.
"It was only about this big around," he said Wednesday, holding out his arms in the shape of a small circle. "There was grass and beer cans and cups in there. It had no definition at all."
It qualified as a bunker under local rules, which Johnson didn't bother to read. So, he dutifully erased the number on his card and wrote in one that was two strokes higher.
Kaymer comes in as the defending champion, playing in an afternoon group that included two other former PGA winners, Y.E. Yang and Shaun Micheel.
Johnson is still chasing his first big win, but he's never really griped about the cards he was dealt.
Heck, he still blames himself for driving the ball so far right that he wound up in a bunker that didn't look like one. He had a one-stroke lead, his breakthrough win just a par away. He knows he should've been more conservative off the tee, done what it took to stay in the fairway.

David stamps authority on Australian Open

CANBERRA: Malaysian squash queen Nicol David wasted little time in stamping her authority on the Australian Open in Canberra when she blitzed Australia's Samantha Davies in straight games on Tuesday.

David raced to an easy 11-3, 11-6, 11-2 first round win over her unheralded opponent to set up a clash with 17-year-old Emily Whitlock of England, 11-9, 7-11, 11-4, 11-3 winner over 15th seeded New Zealander Kylie Lindsay.

World number one David has never played in an Australian Open before but she is the overwhelming favourite to claim the title this year.

David had a rare loss at last week's Singapore Open to England's Laura Massaro but said she had already put that out of her mind.

Massaro is not playing in Canberra, but her countrywoman Jenny Duncalf was just as impressive as David as she cruised to an 11-5, 11-3, 11-3 win over Australian qualifier Vanessa Pickerd.

The remainder of the top women's seeds all progressed with dominant displays.

Third seed Rachael Grinham beat Lucie Fialova of the Czech Republic 11-6, 11-5, 11-2, Ireland's Madeline Perry (4) downed Malaysia's Siti Munirah Jusoh 11-5, 11-2, 11-3 and Kasey Brown (5) was too good for New Zealand's Amanda Cranston 11-2, 11-7, 11-3.

Ashour downed Malaysian qualifier Ivan Yuen 11-3, 11-7, 11-3, and Gaultier and Barker both overcame Australian challengers.

Barker was too steady for Aaron Frankcomb, winning 11-6, 11-8, 11-7 while Gaultier was in blistering form as he downed world number 14 Cameron Pilley 11-6, 11-8, 11-7.

Jahangir Khan backs squash for Olympics

KARACHI: Pakistani squash legend Jahangir Khan on Thursday hailed the International Olympic Committee's decision to consider the sport he once dominated for inclusion in the 2020 Games.

The IOC recently put squash on a shortlist of eight sports which could be added to the Olympics in 2020.

"Squash needs that fillip and we have been trying for this for the last several years. Now the time has come when squash be included in the Olympics on merit," Khan, a former World Champion, told AFP.

The 48-year-old Khan led the campaign to add the sport to the Olympic programme during his three-year tenure as World Squash Federation (WSF) president which ended in 2008.

"We lost to golf and rugby in 2016, but now I am sure of its inclusion in 2020," said Khan, who is now the honorary life president of the WSF.

Khan ruled the squash courts between 1981-92, winning a world record ten British open titles. He also won six world titles and remained unbeaten for five years and eight months between 1981-1986.

Squash will vie with baseball, karate, roller sports, softball, sports climbing, wakeboarding and wushu for inclusion in the 2020.
