SPORTS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2016 Younis leads Pakistan charge ABU DHABI: Younis Khan showed no signs of weakness after recovering from dengue fever to score a brilliant century as Pakistan dominated the opening day of the second Test against the West Indies in Abu Dhabi yes- terday. The 38-year-old, who missed Pakistan’s 56-run victory in the first Test in Dubai with illness, smashed 127 to carry Pakistan, who won the toss, to 304-4 at the close at Sheikh Zayed Stadium. Younis finally holed out to deep mid-wicket off part- timer Kraigg Brathwaite after five hours at the crease, with fading light prompting the umpires to halt the day six overs before the scheduled close. Skipper Misbah- ul-Haq was unbeaten on 90 — just ten runs short of his 11th hundred as Pakistan’s batsmen dominated on a batting-friendly pitch. Younis, who hit ten boundaries and a six, added 175 for the fourth wicket with Misbah and 87 for the third with Asad Shafiq who made 68. It was again the two veteran batsmen-Younis and Misbah- who put Pakistan on track for another big total with their 15th hundred partnership in 49 innings. Misbah, who has now equalled Imran Khan’s record of most Test matches as Pakistan captain with 48, hit two sixes and four boundaries as he worked in tandem with Younis to build an imposing total.

England have continued to make great progress in Test matches but their performances in One Day Internationals still leaves a lot to be desired. The difficult tour to South Africa this winter will be good preparation for next year’s Ashes series. Is the Aussie team growing old together or will they come up with some interesting replacements? Perhaps there are a few playing in the Championship this summer!! At the time of writing Worcester are struggling. After a reasonable start, relegation is on the cards in the Championship, whilst promotion in the Totesport League is in the balance.

One of Di Venuto's mantras are the three P's - partnerships, patience and pressure. First came the pressure - the pressure of succeeding Graham Ford, then the patience. The Surrey supporters kept faith, by and large, and now we're seeing the partnerships - like the new club record eighth wicket stand between Ben Foakes and Gareth Batty at Southampton, which placed Surrey on their current upward trajectory. If spin twins Batty and Zafar Ansari combine with the ball in the two remaining home games against Lancashire and Hampshire, as we know they can, who knows? Put it this way, we can certainly start thinking in terms of Surrey challenging for the County Championship next summer. Only Surrey have looked like ending Middlesex's unbeaten record in the Champo and what also augurs well for the future is the way they overcame a Warwickshire side that, but for the emergence of Chris Woakes as a serious Test cricketer and a side strain to Chris Wright, might have had a tilt at the crown.

    Surrey Cricket Foundation 2016 Annual Review

    SURREY CRICKET FOUNDATION 2016 ANNUAL REVIEW Director of Cricket Development Paul Taylor looks back on a year of effort and achievement right across the county. 2016 has been another incredibly busy year for the Surrey Cricket Foundation (SCF) and whilst there are always continual challenges for us, we have enjoyed some incredible successes. Nationally, the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) have undergone significant changes to their structure. The new Participation and Growth team, led by Matt Dwyer, has been created following the restructure, with the recruitment of key leads across participation, growth, customer marketing & systems and regional operations. The latter role leads a new regional team network across seven newly created geographical regions. London region (Surrey, Middlesex, Kent and the London boroughs of Essex) will see a team of six ECB staff deployed to support us as a county. Participation in the game has grown, however the trend of adult cricketers leaving the game is a continuing concern. Our numbers are balanced by the growth in junior numbers, particularly amongst girls. The introduction of the new Women’s Kia Super League and Surrey securing the Surrey Stars franchise, has played a key part in the growth of interest in the women and girls game. With England players now able to secure central contracts, there is now a clear pathway for any girls wanting to play at the highest level. Our School’s programme, supported by Chance to Shine, has seen the game introduced to over 13,500 children in 2016. Across the Street programmes we again excelled in terms of delivery and the number of attendees across our projects.

    THE HOLY GRAIL by Marcus Hook

    www.ovalworld-online.com/itsasurreything.htm VOLUME.28 ISSUE NUMBER.3 START OF THE SEASON 2015 EDITED BY MARCUS HOOK PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS NEWSLETTER ARE PURELY PERSONAL OPINIONS. ANY CORRESPONDENCE REGARDING 'OVAL WORLD' SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO MARCUS HOOK AT FLAT 1, 67 BIRDHURST RISE, SOUTH CROYDON, SURREY, CR2 7EJ or E-MAIL [email protected] FIRST INNINGS - THE HOLY GRAIL by Marcus Hook Surrey may only be two matches into the new season, however it's already clear that climbing out of Division Two of the County Championship will be far from easy. The alliance of the number one batsman in the world, a resurgent Steven Davies and the new found consistency of Rory Burns, sees Surrey's batting in fine fettle. But whereas batsmen (especially those capable of saving a match) are worth their weight in gold in Division One, the best guarantee of promotion in Division Two is bowling sides out twice. Surrey have taken twenty wickets in just ten of their last 47 championship matches. The Essex game underlined that without an overseas fast bowler, experienced England qualified bowlers or both, the holy grail of 20 wickets will be hard to come by; and even harder on surfaces such as the one Glamorgan served up for Surrey's championship curtain-raiser. Given that you need to win a fair proportion of your matches to finish in the top two of the second division, playing on spicy 'result' pitches is a definite advantage. It's a difficult one because if Surrey see themselves challenging for the championship title in a few years time, taking cheap wickets on helpful surfaces will not prepare the likes of Tom Curran and Matt Dunn for bowling to the best batsmen in the country.
