"Can't Rest On Laurels": India Men's Hockey Team Captain Harmanpreet Singh Eyes Asian Champions Trophy Title

Indian men's hockey team captain Harmanpreet Singh said it's time to move on from the euphoria of a second successive Olympic bronze medal if the side desires to retain its Asian Champions Trophy title in Hulunbuir, China this month. Under Harmanpreet's leadership, India won a second successive bronze medal for the first time in over half-a-century at the Olympics in Paris recently. But Harmanpreet said it's time to move and start afresh after a deserving break for the Asian showpiece to be held from September 8 to 17.

208 Balls, 4 Runs: English Father-Son Duo Rise To Fame After Hilariously Slow Innings

The record of the most balls faced without scoring a single run in Tests is held by former New Zealand pacer Geoff Allott, who did not score a run despite facing 77 balls. That innings, against South Africa in Auckland in 2006, also holds the record of the least runs scored per minute in Test history, with Allott having batted 101 minutes. However, both of these records would seem paltry to what father-son duo Ian and Thomas Bestwick put up in a valiant display of old school first-class cricket - the art of defensive batting.

"Haven't Learnt Our Lesson": Pakistan Captain's Scathing Verdict After Bangladesh Loss

Pakistan cricket team captain Shan Masood was left extremely disappointed as his side slumped to a crushing 0-2 Test series loss against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi on Tuesday. In the first Test, Pakistan's decision to declare their first innings at 448/6 backfired completely as Bangladesh scored a mammoth 565 and then produced a brilliant bowling performance to win the game by 10 wickets. Things did not improve in the second Test as Bangladesh once again excelled with both bat and ball to clinch the match by six wickets. Following the match, Masood said that Pakistan have not learnt their lessons from the past losses and added that they have continuously failed to get over the line in Test matches.

Bangladesh Humiliate Hosts Pakistan With 2-0 Test Series Sweep, Register Historic First

The Bangladesh cricket team continued their fairytale run in Pakistan, securing their second successive Test match win to wrap up the series 2-0. It's the first time that Bangladesh went on to complete a clean sweep against an Asian side in their own home, inflicting a defeat that Pakistan and the entire cricketing spectrum would remember for years to come. Bangladesh haven't been the strongest of teams in Test cricket away from home, with their only sweep in the longest format of the game coming against West Indies in 2009 (in a series of 2 or more Tests).

Pakistan Legends Tear Into Team After Embarrassing 0-2 Defeat Against Bangladesh

Pakistan cricket reached its lowest ebb on Tuesday while nosediving to a six-wicket defeat against Bangladesh in the second Test here, and the stalwarts termed the 0-2 series defeat as “hurting.” It was Pakistan's sixth defeat in their last 10 Tests at home and this was also the first time Bangladesh have beaten their neighbours in a Test and series. “It is hurting that our cricket has come to this stage. Bangladesh deserve credit for their disciplined performances. But the way our batting has collapsed in this series is a bad sign,” former Test captain Javed Miandad said.
