  • Justice Qayyum's Report
    PART I BACKGROUND TO INQUIRY 1. Cricket has always put itself forth as a gentleman’s game. However, this aspect of the game has come under strain time and again, sadly with increasing regularity. From BodyLine to Trevor Chappel bowling under-arm, from sledging to ball tampering, instances of gamesmanship have been on the rise. Instances of sportsmanship like Courtney Walsh refusing to run out a Pakistani batsman for backing up too soon in a crucial match of the 1987 World Cup; Imran Khan, as Captain calling back his counterpart Kris Srikanth to bat again after the latter was annoyed with the decision of the umpire; batsmen like Majid Khan walking if they knew they were out; are becoming rarer yet. Now, with the massive influx of money and sheer increase in number of matches played, cricket has become big business. Now like other sports before it (Baseball (the Chicago ‘Black-Sox’ against the Cincinnati Reds in the 1919 World Series), Football (allegations against Bruce Grobelar; lights going out at the Valley, home of Charlton Football club)) Cricket Inquiry Report Page 1 Cricket faces the threat of match-fixing, the most serious threat the game has faced in its life. 2. Match-fixing is an international threat. It is quite possibly an international reality too. Donald Topley, a former county cricketer, wrote in the Sunday Mirror in 1994 that in a county match between Essex and Lancashire in 1991 Season, both the teams were heavily paid to fix the match. Time and again, former and present cricketers (e.g. Manoj Prabhakar going into pre-mature retirement and alleging match-fixing against the Indian team; the Indian Team refusing to play against Pakistan at Sharjah after their loss in the Wills Trophy 1991 claiming matches there were fixed) accused different teams of match-fixing.

    Journal of the Melbourne Cricket Club Library Issue 40, Summer 2009 This Issue From our Summer 2009/10 edition Ken Williams looks at the fi rst Pakistan tour of Australia, 45 years ago. We also pay tribute to Richie Benaud's role in cricket, as he undertakes his last Test series of ball-by-ball commentary and wish him luck in his future endeavours in the cricket media. Ross Perry presents an analysis of Australia's fi rst 16-Test winning streak from October 1999 to March 2001. A future issue of The Yorker will cover their second run of 16 Test victories. We note that part two of Trevor Ruddell's article detailing the development of the rules of Australian football has been delayed until our next issue, which is due around Easter 2010. THE EDITORS Treasures from the Collections The day Don Bradman met his match in Frank Thorn On Saturday, February 25, 1939 a large crowd gathered in the Melbourne District competition throughout the at the Adelaide Oval for the second day’s play in the fi nal 1930s, during which time he captured 266 wickets at 20.20.

  • High Commissioner Hosts World Cup Exhibition Australian High Commission Islamabad
    AUSTRALIAN HIGH COMM ISSION ISLAMABAD Tuesday 14 May 2019 Press Release HIGH COMMISSIONER HOSTS WORLD CUP EXHIBITION The Australian High Commissioner to Pakistan, Margaret Adamson, today opened an exhibition of photographs from the 1992 Cricket World Cup played in Australia. “1992 was a tournament of firsts. The first World Cup played in Australia. The first appearance of coloured kit, white balls and night cricket. And, most importantly, the first World Cup collected by Pakistan,” Ms Adamson said. “This wonderful exhibition of photos by Iqbal Munir captures the ecstasy of the Pakistani players during that victory over the English,” she said. Ms Adamson noted that although Australia and Pakistan were fierce competitors on the field, cricket was a unifying passion for the two countries. “Every summer, more than a million Australians play the game, and you see the same enthusiasm here in Pakistan. On every street, in every open space, youngsters are out hitting the ball, grabbing a wicket, being part of the team,” she said. “Pakistan has produced some of the game's true champions: Imran Khan, the best of skippers; Shahid Afridi, who hit more sixes than anyone else in one-day internationals; Sarfraz Nawaz, Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis, who pioneered reverse swing,” she said. The exhibition of work by Iqbal Munir, a widely travelled cricket photographer and enthusiast, will be open to public on 14 and 15 May at Dolmen Mall, Karachi. “What happened on the field in 1992 might be etched in the memory of every cricket fan in the country and is refreshed every four years by the barrage of video clips and pictures that flood social media and television screens,” Mr Munir said.

  • Dorset Win Minor Counties Championship
    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Frank Bailey Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER No. 302 - OCTOBER 2010 MEETINGS Wednesday 20 October 2010 – Meeting The Society extends a warm welcome to Geoff Cope for this evening‟s meeting. It is scarcely believable that he is the first Yorkshire cricketer to address the Society in its thirty-five year history. Many will remember him as a tall, accurate off-spin bowler who concealed the ball behind his back until his delivery stride. GEOFFREY ALAN COPE was born in Burmantofts, Leeds on 23 February 1947. Son of a French polisher, he grew up in Crossgates in Leeds and first played cricket at Manston Junior School. His talent was shown in an Under 11 cup final in which he took all ten wickets for 26 and then batted his team to victory. He played club cricket at an early age with Leeds Zingari and then for Leeds Cricket Club in the Yorkshire League. He played for England Schools and then, in 1964, for Yorkshire Second XI. He made his first-class debut against Hampshire at Bradford, whilst Ray Illingworth was on Test duty, in 1966. That year was the one in which first innings were limited to 65 overs. Captains invariably favoured their seamers with the result that opportunities for spin bowlers, except for experienced campaigners, were very limited. In a match bedevilled by rain he was restricted to only five overs in Hampshire‟s second innings. Despite taking 40 wickets (avge 13.82) in 1967 he didn‟t win a regular first team place until 1969 when Illingworth moved to captain Leicestershire.

  • Cricket Ball Aerodynamics: Myth Versus Science
    i¸ ._ _' -_ .¢, Cricket Ball Aerodynamics: Myth Versus Science Rabindra D. Mehta Experimental Physics Branch, NASA Ames Research Center, California, USA ABSTRACT: Aerodynamics plays a prominent role in the flight of a cricket ball released by a bowler. The main interest is in the fact that the ball can follow a curved flight path that is not always under the control of the bowler. The basic aerodynamic principles responsible for the nonlinear flight or "swing" of a cricket ball were identified several years ago and many papers have been published on the subject. In the last 20 years or so, several experimental investigations have been conducted on cricket ball swing, which revealed the amount of attainable swing, and the parameters that affect it. A general overview of these findings is presented with emphasis on the concept of late swing and the effects of meteorological conditions on swing. In addition, the relatively new concept of "reverse" swing, how it can be achieved in practice and the role in it of bali "tampering", are discussed in detail. A discussion of the "white" cricket ball used in last year's World Cup, which supposedly possesses different swing properties compared to a conventional red ball, is also presented. _TRODUCTION The origins of cricket are obscured and a source of much speculation, but there is some evidence that it was played in England in thel300s. People who do not play cricket (the majority of the human race) know it as a game of childish simplicity. A pleasant game for the beach it seems, but hardly enough to hold the attention of entire nations for days at a stretch.

  • The Role of Leadership of Imran Khan in the Genesis and Evolution of Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf
    J. Appl. Environ. Biol. Sci. , 7(11)237-242, 2017 ISSN: 2090-4274 Journal of Applied Environmental © 2017, TextRoad Publication and Biological Sciences www.textroad.com The Role of Leadership of Imran Khan in the Genesis and Evolution of Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf Mr. Muhammad Asif Ayub 1, Dr. Abdul Zahoor Khan 2 1Ph. D-Scholar-Pakistan Studies, Department of History & Pakistan Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences, Faculty Block#I, First Floor, New Campus, Sector#H-10, International Islamic University, Islamabad-Pakistan 2Assistant Professor-History/Head, Department of Anthropology, Faculty of Social Sciences, Faculty Block#I, First Floor, New Campus, Sector#H-10, International Islamic University, Islamabad-Pakistan Received: September 19, 2017 Accepted: October 3, 2017 ABSTRACT Leadership plays a pivotal role in the growth of a political party. All India Muslim League flourished under the leadership of Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Pakistan People Party (PPP) under Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto and Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) under the leadership of Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif. This paper discusses the role of leadership of Imran Khan in the genesis and evolution of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf in organizing and popularizing the party. In the genesis of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Imran Khan played central role. Though he was not interested in politics but in 1996, founded PTI. The main reasons which compelled him to jump into politics can be categorized into two folds. Firstly, the dreams which he wanted to fulfill as a philanthropist in Pakistan after retirement from cricket, and secondly, the hardships created by politicians and political system of Pakistan in his way.

  • Australia V Pakistan Boxing Day Test
    AUSTRALIA V PAKISTAN DECEMBER 27, 2016 BOXING DAY TEST FACT SHEET - DAY 2 LIBRARY Beginning with the inaugural Test match in March 1877, 108 Tests have been staged at the MCG. One Test, in 1970/71, was abandoned without a ball bowled and is not counted in the records. Nine of the matches have involved Pakistan, Australia winning five of those contests, Pakistan two, with the other two drawn. The other sides to play Tests at the MCG are England (55), West Indies (15), India (12), South Africa (12), New Zealand (3) and Sri Lanka (2). Only Lord's Cricket Ground (133) has hosted more Test matches than the MCG (108). As Lord's currently has two Test matches per summer (it hosted three in 2010), it will extend its lead as the MCG has not hosted two Test matches in the same season since 1981/82. Of the 60 Tests between Australia and Pakistan to date, Australia has won 29, Pakistan 14 and the remaining 17 drawn. The current Test is Australia's 796th and Pakistan’s 406th. Of its 795 Tests to date, Australia has won 374 (47.04 per cent), lost 213 (26.79 per cent) and tied two. The remaining 206 have been drawn. The fact sheets for today's game will review five Tests from the nine played at the MCG between the two countries. A summary of each match will appear during the course of this game, followed by each of the remaining games on the sheets for subsequent days. 150 years ago today on the MCG - “Natives vs The World” The 1866 Boxing Day match featuring T.W.
