UAE- Exclusive: Meet Rahmanullah Gurbaz, the young Afghan who bats like AB de Villiers

When Rahmanullah Gurbaz first picked up a cricket bat, he just wanted to play like AB de Villiers. The South African s range of exhilarating strokes inspired the young Afghan so much that he began practising De Villiers bat-swing.

COLIN McDONALD 1928 - 2021
Australia’s consistent opening batsman Colin McDonald, who died last month aged 92, is remembered most for his sole resistance against England’s off-spinner Jim Laker in the July 1956 Old Trafford Test. McDonald had top-scored with 32 and 89 as Laker with incredibly mesmerising match figures of 19 wickets for 90 runs had routed Australia.

For 32 years since Viv Richards’ West Indies beat Australia by nine wickets at the Gabba, no other country successfully breached that fortress. 
Of the 31 matches played there between that defeat and this year, the home side had drawn seven and won 24. But without its appointed captain and more than half of its regulars, including five of its front-line bowlers, a second-string Indian team took Tim Paine’s Aussies to the cleaners.

New Delhi, Jan 14 : The history of Indian tennis begins in the late 19th century, soon after it was established as a competitive sport in England. The sport quickly caught the imagination of the colonised just as much as it had of the colonisers. In those early years, Mohammed Sleem, the Fyzee brothers, S.M. Jacob and Ghaus Mohammed (whose genius was sadly curtailed by the Second World War) were the heroes tennis needed, claiming it for India. ....
