This two former cricket legends stated talking to newsmen amid a wedding party here in Lahore on Sunday.

Inzimam said Muhammad Yousuf should not be blamed for the loss of second Test against Australia because first three days played in Pakistan’s favour but unluckily last day game changed dramatically in Aussies side.

New Zealand Dunedin Announces Squad for Test

New Zealand Dunedin Announces Squad for Test: New Zealand have picked a 13-man squad to face Pakistan in the first Test at Dunedin which begins on the 24th of this month. The New Zealand team is bolstered with the re-entry of Shane Bond who gets to play Test Cricket after a gap of two years!

The hosts are unlucky to miss one of their key players in Jesse Ryder who is still recovering from an abductor strain which he picked up during his stint in the IPL. Ryder’s place has gone to Peter Fulton who has a mediocre average of under 25.00 and just a fifty in the 8 Tests so far in his career. It could be a toss up between Fulton and Tim McIntosh in the end. McIntosh is fresh from a century against Pakistanis at Queensland which could give him the nod ahead of Fulton.

Apart from Bond, medium pacer Daryl Tuffey makes a comeback in the Test team after similar adventures in the rebel Indian Cricket League. Most likely Tuffey could sit out with New Zealand already having Chris Martin and Iain O’Brien in the ranks to partner with Bond.

New Zealand Squad for first Test at Dunedin : Daniel Vettori (Captain), Tim McIntosh, Daniel Flynn, Ross Taylor, Peter Fulton, Martin Guptill, Grant Elliott, Brendon McCullum (wk), Iain O’Brien, Shane Bond, Jeetan Patel, Daryl Tuffey, Chris Martin

Pastner may not know an X from an O, but not likely to get caught short in the organs of talent on his bench.

His head is through the roof. If you can hire as Pastner ago, in a sad place, like Memphis, which will not be long until a school’s main street offers a better deal.

Pastner has hired seven of the best high school students in the United States in recent weeks, a class ranked No. 2 in the country by some analysts. Before long untl has enough talent to hang with Kansas and around the world.

More important this season, a transition following the departure of John Calipari of Memphis, Pastner will maturing as a call-coach-headshots. That is the big unknown about its future.

I suppose he has enough talent to overcome the harshness of training, especially in the U.S. Conference indescribable, you get an extended time to learn the coaching business.

He’s not Sean Miller, not yet, but Pastner is nine years younger than the head coach of Arizona. It will be fun watching him make his way in a pool of sharks.

Latest News Updated, Erin O Brien Cleveland Browns: While Eric Mangini still has his job, the firing of Erin O’Brien last week started the Cleveland Browns shakeup. Monday George Kokinis was fired as Browns GM. While local press report Kokinis was “escorted” from the Browns facility, the team denies that happened.
Former QB Bernie Kosar has been brought in to give a second look at staffing. And as reported earlier Tuesday on LALATE, Ernie Accorsi is in talks as a possible GM replacement.

O’Brien, director of team operations, was the first in what some say will be significant staffing changes that won’t be swift. Owner Randy Lerner has told press he wants a “strong, credible, serious leader.”

The Browns are 1-7 and come off a 30-6 loss against the Bears last Sunday.
