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.
A runner who stopped during a marathon in China to pose doing the splits and another who hoarded energy gels have been banned for two years, the local athletics association said yesterday. The incidents happened during Sunday’s marathon in Sichuan Province’s Chengdu and were widely shared online. Videos showed a female runner stopping suddenly and dropping to the ground in the splits position, holding up her arms in a heart shape as she apparently posed for a photograph. She “committed obstructive fouls during the race, affecting the safe participation of other runners,” the Sichuan Athletics Association said in a statement, which identified
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah on Tuesday said that he would leave the English club at the end of the Premier League season, marking an earlier-than-planned departure for one of the club’s greatest-ever scorers and soccer’s biggest names. The 33-year-old Egypt forward, who has scored 255 goals in 435 appearances for Liverpool, “reached an agreement” to quit the team a year before his contract was due to expire, the Premier League champions said. Salah’s form has dipped in his ninth year at Anfield, to such an extent that he was dropped for a stretch of games late last year — leading to the
Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli yesterday vowed to “keep raising the bar” after winning the Japanese Grand Prix to become the youngest driver in Formula One history to lead the championship standings. The 19-year-old Italian took advantage of a mid-race safety car to jump into the lead after a dreadful start from pole position, crossing the line ahead of McLaren’s Oscar Piastri and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc. Antonelli’s Suzuka victory came two weeks after the first grand prix win of his career in China, and sent him top of the championship standings after three races, nine points ahead of team-mate George Russell. Mercedes are struggling to
There were some big games to be played yesterday in the NBA, with the Atlanta Hawks to play the Detroit Pistons in a matchup pitting a Hawks team who are rolling against a Pistons team trying to lock up the Eastern Conference’s No. 1 seed. The Oklahoma City Thunder were to play the Boston Celtics, a showdown featuring the two most recent champions, while the Houston Rockets faced the Minnesota Timberwolves, a game that could factor mightily into Western Conference seeding. Elsewhere, the Washington Wizards were to play the Utah Jazz, with the Wizards on a 16-game slide visiting against a team
