Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul Haq was wary yesterday of a tough fight from South Africa in the remaining three matches despite leading 2-0 in the one-day series.
"South Africa is a world-class team and we know that big teams always come back strongly in the five-match series," said Inzamam, who suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday's 42-run victory and reported he had only a 50-50 of starting for Tuesday's match.
"But so far we haven't made many mistakes and I hope we would continue the good work going," he added.
The Pakistan captain gave credit for two victories against Graeme Smith's team to his bowlers as South Africa twice failed to chase the totals of 277 and 267 despite getting solid starts.
"Our bowlers especially [Mo-hammad] Sami and Shoaib [Ak-htar] have done a wonderful job, and I hope they continue to deliver goods," he said.
Pakistan has included Naved Latif in the probables list in case Inzamam isn't recovered. Leg-spinner Danish Kaneria also made his way into the side after Mushtaq Ahmad was told to rest seven to 10 days for a pulled abdomen muscle.
Yousuf Youhana exchanged some hot words with medium fast bowler Andrew Hall during Sunday's game when the bowler hit the Pakistan batsman with an elbow as he tried to complete a run. However, Inzamam said no complaint would be filed.
"We want to play a good series against South Africa. We do not want to get involved in any controversy," he said.
Smith promised some "real good cricket" from his team, although the Proteas have badly missed Herschelle Gibbs, their hard-hitting opener, who has yet to recover fully from a pulled stomach muscle. Moorne van Wyk, 24, has been called as Gibbs' replacement and might get a chance in the only day game of the series.
Revelations of positive doping tests for nearly two dozen Chinese swimmers that went unpunished sparked an intense flurry of accusations and legal threats between the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the head of the US drug-fighting organization, who has long been one of WADA’s fiercest critics. WADA on Saturday said it was turning to legal counsel to address a statement released by US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) CEO Travis Tygart, who said WADA and anti-doping authorities in China swept positive tests “under the carpet by failing to fairly and evenly follow the global rules that apply to everyone else in the world.” The
Taiwanese judoka Yang Yung-wei on Saturday won silver in the men’s under-60kg category at the Asian Judo Championships in Hong Kong. Nicknamed the “judo heartthrob” in Taiwan, the Olympic silver-medalist missed out on his first Asian Championships gold when he lost to Japanese judoka Taiki Nakamura in the finals. Yang defeated three opponents on Saturday to reach the final after receiving a bye through the round of 32. He first topped Laotian Soukphaxay Sithisane in the round of 16 with two seoi nage (over-the-shoulder throws), then ousted Indian Vijay Kumar Yadav in the quarter-finals with his signature ude hishigi sankaku gatame (triangular armlock). He
RALLY: It was only the second time the Taiwanese has partnered with Kudermetova, and the match seemed tight until they won seven points in a row to take the last set 10-2 Taiwan’s Chan Hao-ching and Russia’s Veronika Kudermetova on Sunday won the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix women’s doubles final in Stuttgart, Germany. The pair defeated Norway’s Ulrikke Eikeri and Estonia’s Ingrid Neel 4-6, 6-3, 10-2 in a tightly contested match at the WTA 500 tournament. Chan and Kudermetova fell 4-6 in the first set after having their serve broken three times, although they played increasingly well. They fought back in the second set and managed to break their opponents’ serve in the eighth game to triumph 6-3. In the tiebreaker, Chan and Kudermetova took a 3-0 lead before their opponents clawed back two points, but
Taiwanese gymnast Lee Chih-kai failed to secure an Olympic berth in the pommel horse following a second-place finish at the last qualifier in Doha on Friday, a performance that Lee and his coach called “unconvincing.” The Tokyo Olympics silver medalist finished runner-up in the final after scoring 6.6 for degree of difficulty and 8.800 for execution for a combined score of 15.400. That was just 0.100 short of Jordan’s Ahmad Abu Al Soud, who had qualified for the event in Paris before the Apparatus World Cup series in Qatar’s capital. After missing the final rounds in the first two of four qualifier
