Pakistan Consider All-Spin Attack In Second Test Against West Indies

Buoyed by the overwhelming success of their spinners, Pakistan are considering going into the second Test against the West Indies with just three specialist spin bowlers and no pace bowler. Sources close to the team said that the management was keen on adding opener, Imam ul Haq to the playing eleven which would mean they would play the Test with eight batters. Pakistan played just one pacer in Khurrum Shehzad in the first Test that ended on the third day. It was shortest Test held in Pakistan in terms of ball bowled (1064).

With Wicket On Maiden Test Delivery, South Africa Debutant Corbin Bosch Hits Jackpot Against Pakistan

Debutant Corbin Bosch became only the fifth South African bowler to take a wicket with the first ball of his Test career for the Proteas on Thursday. The right-arm quick made his Test debut for South Africa in the series opener against Pakistan in Centurion. He was introduced in the 15th over to break up Pakistan's opening partnership of Saim Ayub and skipper Shan Masood. With Masood looking resolute in his approach, Bosch's first Test delivery turned both his and South Africa's wish into reality. He pitched the ball up and caught Masood off-guard just after the drinks break.
