  • PEAK PERFORMANCE AGE: a DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSIS of PAKISTAN TEST BATSMEN Imran Abbass
    PEAK PERFORMANCE AGE: A DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSIS OF PAKISTAN TEST BATSMEN Imran Abbass ABSTRACT The study intended to explore the relationship of age and performance of test batsmen to know at what age they achieved the peak performance while playing test cricket. Qualitative data was collected through interviews and Secondary data sources were used of different ICC (International Cricket Council) websites and magazines. Sample comprised of top 12 test players of Pakistan from past and present era, who played for Pakistan with distinction. Time series and regression analysis was executed to find the significance of the relationship between their age and performance (Batting average).The findings of the study revealed a parabolic trajectory relationship between age and their performance, positive relationship at the start and then a plateau and then a negative relationship between age and performance. The rise and decline pattern varied and majority of the cricket players touched the peak between the ages of 28 to 34 years. The current study will provide solid grounds to account the role of age in producing expert performance and strongly suggested through the evidence of data analysis that to achieve the expert performance of the enrolled test batsmen, patience is required until and unless the cricket players meet a specific age limit. Key Words: Cricket, Test Batsmen, Peak Performance, Age INTRODUCTION score of 23, Aamer nicked one to On a bright sunny morning of the Bacher in the slips and in 1997-98 winters, stage was set to adding four runs Pakistan top topple the mighty South Africans four batsman were gone to the at eastern shores.

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.

  • PCB Highlights 1 April – 30 June 5Th Edition
    PCB Highlights 1 April – 30 June 5th Edition PCB to spend PKR5.29billion on cricket in 2020-21 season The Board of Governors of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) held their second meeting of the year via a videoconference in which they approved a PKR7.76billion operating expenditure budget for the 2020-21 fiscal year. This was a 10 per cent reduction from the 2019-20 fiscal year as the PCB continued its austerity drive as part of its financial management exercise. While budgets were reduced in other functional areas, there was no reduction in cricket-related activities as the PCB committed to spending PKR5.29billion on cricket over the next 12 months. This includes PKR1.8billion in High Performance, PKR1.4bil- lion on international cricket, PKR1.4billion on HBL Pakistan Super League 2021, PKR109million on Medical and Sports Sciences, PKR411million on women’s cricket and PKR39million on disabled cricket. The High Performance has the biggest budget as it incorporates domestic cricket expenses as following restructuring, the acade- mies and domestic cricket have been brought under one umbrella. This cost includes players/match officials/curator contracts, domestic events and their prize moneys and academy programmes. The following is the department-wise breakdown of the 2020-21 budget: Departments 2020-21 budget (PKR) Another significant approval by the BoG was of the PCB Code of Ethics, first time Administration 274,626,961 that the PCB has introduced this code as Commercial 232,395,000 part of its good governance practices and Disabled cricket 39,500,000 in line with Article 44(d) of the PCB Election and Scrutiny 36,520,000 Constitution 2019.

  • Saleem Yousuf (Pakistan 1982 to 1990)
    Saleem Yousuf (Pakistan 1982 to 1990) Pakistan hosted the West Indies in 1986-87. Expecting a gruelling Test series, Imran Khan wanted known fighters in his team. Zulqarnain had kept wicket in Pakistan’s previous Test series against Sri Lanka and in the following One Day International (ODI) tournaments. Anil Dilpat was wicketkeeper in the first of two three-day tour games and in an ODI against the West Indies in October 1986. For the second three-day game, just a week before the opening Test, Imran brought in Saleem Yousuf and retained him for the series. Afterwards Imran felt his choice was vindicated: “In Salim Yousuf, Pakistan had found a courageous player and one who could handle a crisis.” When Pakistan toured the West Indies later in 1987-88, Saleem, despite a broken nose from being hit in the face in the first innings, came in at No. 9 in the second and played a vital innings of 28, adding 51 runs, to help set West Indies a testing score at Bridgetown. Wasim Akram considered Saleem “not the tidiest keeper, but he’s one of the bravest batsman I’ve ever seen.” Saleem Yousuf contributed much to Pakistan’s rise to the summit in Test cricket from 1986. Successes against West Indies, and series wins over India, England (twice), Australia and New Zealand meant that when Pakistan and the West Indies met in late 1990 the series was regarded as the unofficial world championship. Saleem played only in the first Test in that 1990 series, finishing his Test career by helping Pakistan take the lead.

  • November-December
    PCB Highlights 1 November – 31 December 3rd Edition PCB brings Test cricket back to Pakistan The purist and most traditional format of the gentleman’s game returned to Pakistan after more than 10 years when Sri Lanka played the ICC World Test Championship fixtures in Rawalpindi and Karachi in December. For this team to put the March 2009 tragedy behind it and return twice in a space of three months was a strong and powerful statement to the world about their confidence and trust in Pakistan’s security agencies and the support to the Pakistan Cricket Board in its efforts and endeavours for the complete and uninterrupted restoration of international cricket in the country. The Sri Lanka cricket team was excellent – both on and off the field – and returned home not only after making more friends and followers than ever, but also after proving to be outstanding ambassadors of their country. They were gracious in defeat and generous in praising the hospitality and security offered to them during their Test tour. “Now I do regret not coming for the shorter formats. At that time it was a really hard decision to take because I had heard and read lots of things about Pakistan on news and social media - not positive things. But the guys who came here before gave really good comments and that’s why all the seniors decided to go and play a good Test series. Now I think I should have come and played the one-dayers,” Sri Lanka skipper Dimuth Karunaratne said. “I can say that for me it feels really safe.

  • 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.
