KARACHI: Central Punjab skipper Hasan Ali (L) and his Khyber Pakhtunkhwa counterpart Khalid Usman pose with the trophy at the Quaid-e-Azam House Museum on Thursday. PCB
KARACHI: No matter what would eventually be the outcome of the latest Quaid-e-Azam Trophy final between holders Central Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, it is generally anticipated the five-day clash, starting on Friday at the iconic National Stadium, won’t be a repeat of last season’s title-decider.
The inaugural final of the revamped first-class championship on the very same turf turned out to be a lopsided affair when the star-studded Central Punjab overwhelmingly crushed the title aspirations of Northern in a canter. That encounter concluded within four days with the Babar Azam-led Central Punjab sealing an innings and 16-run victory on man-of-the-match Umar Akmal’s 219, Faheem Ashraf’s six wickets and Bilal Asif’s eight-wicket haul in the second innings.

IT is seldom that anyone has to tolerate so much bitterness and anguish that Fawad Alam had to endure when he was unceremoniously thrown out of Pakistan Test side as long ago as November 2009 in New Zealand and since his return to the fold during the England tour this year, the left-hander with the most ungainly batting stance at the crease has literally lived on a knife’s edge.
But who cares about how one approaches his batting rituals and how he stands when facing the bowlers. Shivnarine Chanderpaul was a prime example of someone having more or less the same unorthodox stance that Fawad Alam has. The left-handed Chanderpaul has the statistics to underline his true values to the West Indies during his career which spanned from 1994 to 2015 and during which the crabbiest technique ever seen in international cricket time again proved that there is life beyond the coaching guidelines.

KARACHI: Usman Salahuddin hammered an unbeaten double hundred and later bowlers did a remarkable job as holders Central Punjab tightened their noose around Southern Punjab on the second day of their last round fixture of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy (first-class) here at SBP Ground on Sunday.
Usman, who was batting on 139 on Saturday, made 219 not out to enable Central Punjab to declare their first innings at 493-7 after resuming at 309-4.
Skipper Hasan Ali and Bilawal Iqbal then got three wickets each to reduce Southern Punjab to 153-9.
