Misbah-ul-Haq Equals Fastest Test Hundred
No one can believe, that a 40 years old guy can make a fastest Test hundred. Misbah-ul-Haq converted the fastest fifty in Test cricket just off 21 balls and register his name into the joint-fastest century off 56 balls on the fourth day in Abu Dhabi. But Misbah-ul-Haq did it brilliantly against Australia in the 2nd test at Abu Dhabi on Nov 02, 2014. Before that he done a fastest fifty in the history of test cricket. So it likes a dream that Pakistan captain holds the two respected records of test cricket, and make his name on the top of list. This is simply unbelievable for whole world, especially for Pakistan fans. He has been criticizing due to his famous word "Tuk Tuk". A magnificent inning played by him, which he can proud himself through out his career. We should give a huge applause to Misbah for this special inning. We're sure now he'll get the respect as he deserve.

West Indies off spinner Sunil Narine
became the first bowler in T20 cricket history to bowl a maiden over in a super

the Dwayne Bravo-led Red Steel franchise removed the words “Trinidad &
Tobago” from their name on a minister's request. But the name change did not
prove enough for the team. The scores were tied after the stipulated 20 overs a
side, with Red Steel 118/8 and Guyana Amazon Warriors at 118/9. And then, the
