Sports News - by Chris 1

As reported on The Age website Pakistani bastman Mohammad Yousuf has broken the record set by Viv Richards in 1976 of the most runs scored in a calendar year. He has also broken the record for the most centuries scored in a calendar year with nine. Pakistan are playing the West Indies in a 3 test series and Yousuf broke Richards' record of 1710 runs during his second innings of the 2nd test.

Mohammad Yousuf has played 11 test matches this year, the same number that Richards played in 1976. Does this make Yousuf the best batsman in the world at the moment?

McGrath Plays But Clark Does the Damage

December 1st 2006 03:27
As The Age reports Glenn McGrath was named in the side for the 2nd test and has bowled well, however Stuart Clark has done the damage removing both English openers before lunch.

Clark replaced Brett Lee from the Cathedral end and it took him less than two overs to claim his first scalp.

If his good form continues throughout the match will Stuart Clark cement his spot in the team?

As reported by The Age Alex Zanardi has become the first double-amputee to drive an F1 car. Zanardi had both his legs amputated after an extreme high speed crash in September 2001.

He made his inspiring comeback in a modified BMW-Sauber C24-B on the weekend and came within a second of his able bodied counterparts.

Australia Names Squad for 2nd Test

November 28th 2006 03:16
Cricinfo reports the national selectors have gone for extra fast bowlers in Adelaide with Mitchell Johnson and Shaun Tait added to the squad of 13. Stuart MacGill missed selection.

So it seems the Australian starting XI in the 2nd test will be the same as the 1st. A good decision or not?
