Just ten months after they met in a historic series, India and Pakistan are ready for another battle which promises to be just as exciting and closely fought as the previous one was. As part of the build-up to the forthcoming series, Cricinfo looks back at ten classic encounters between the two teams. We start off with the Karachi Test of 1982, when Imran Khans virtuoso performance lit up the National Stadium.This wasnt a Test that you would call great in the traditional sense. It was a no-contest: Pakistan won by an innings and 87 runs, their biggest win over India at the time, and one they went on to better two Tests later at Hyderabad. But the match was significant for the performance of one man - Imran Khan took 11 wickets in the match, eight of them in the second innings, five in the space of 25 balls, and the legend of reverse-swing was born. Sarfraz Nawaz is credited as being the early exponent of reverse-swing but on that third afternoon of the Karachi Test, Imran gave the most fearsome exhibition of the art which was yet to acquire a name.India, trailing by 283 runs, would have nurtured faint hopes of saving the game as Sunil Gavaskar and Dilip Vengsarkar took them to 102 for 1 shortly after tea. The new ball had been negotiated comfortably and the only wicket to fall, that of Arun Lal, had been claimed by Abdul Qadir. But Imran returned for his second spell with a semi-old ball and, aided by a strong wind, produced prodigious late swing at a blistering pace that left the Indian batsmen numb.Gavaskar was the first go, bowled through the gate, and it signalled a procession. India ended the day at 118 for 7, and of Imrans five victims, four were bowled and only Mohinder Amarnath managed to get his front pad in the way. This was the spell that decided the series. Writing on the series for World Cricket Digest, Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi termed it a case of overkill. Imran, who started the match with flu, ended the series with 40 wickets and by the time the Indians arrived in Hyderabad, Pakistani fans were holding up banners likening him to the F-16s, the American fighter planes that were the latest addition to Pakistans military stable.India had begun the Test horribly after being sent in on a newly laid, green-tinged pitch, by losing Gavaskar to a run-out from a direct hit by Imran, who then accounted for Vengsarkar with a ball that lifted and swung away. Arun Lal and Gundappa Viswanath put up a brief partnership, but India soon found themselves at 70 for 5. Kapil Dev avoided a total rout by merrily swinging away to a 53-ball 73. He was severe on Qadir in particular, hitting him for five fours and a six. And when Madan Lal removed Pakistans first three batsmen for 18, the day didnt seem so bad for India.However, the second day belonged to Pakistan. Zaheer Abbas, who had scored a double-century in the first Test at Lahore, stroked away to 186 and added 213 runs for the fifth wicket with Mudassar Nazar, who was batting down the order because of flu. With useful 30s from Imran and Wasim Bari, Pakistan ended up with 452. India stayed in the battle for a couple of hours, after which it was all Imran.Sambit Bal is editor of Cricinfo in India and of Wisden Asia Cricket magazine.Masahiro Tanaka Jersey .

Rose said he believed she was sober and never witnessed any burns the night before.It looked like a setup, Rose said. It turned out to be what I thought.Rose testified for a second day in the $21.5 million lawsuit that claims he and his friends had sex without the womans consent when she was incapacitated from drinking and, possibly, drugs. The woman claims the three entered her apartment and had sex with her while she was blacked out after drinking tequila at Roses rental house earlier and other booze she had before she got there.Rose testified he was raised by a single mother, who was his mentor and had taught him to respect women.When attorney Waukeen McCoy began to ask Rose a question by saying that since his mother had taught him manners, Rose snapped back in a rare display of emotion during an otherwise unflappable matter-a-fact testimony.Was that a joke? he said. Dont be playing on my mom like that, bro.The central issue in the trial is consent and a lawyer for the woman spent much of his time trying to show that she never agreed to have sex with Rose in the early morning hours of Aug. 27, 2013, not to mention his two friends.Rose said he assumed consent based on their past, a text message she sent out of the blue that morning saying he made her horny and her behavior throughout the day and night.Attorneys for the woman showed video taken of Rose in June testifying at his deposition in which he said he didnt understand the word consent.When asked by his own lawyer, he said he was nervous at the deposition and he defined consent as both parties being in agreement. He said the woman had consented all the previous times they had sex over an 18-20 month period.The Associated Press is not naming the woman because it generally does not identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault.Although they had split up a couple months before, he said he took her suggestive text as offering consent.No is no. Im never going to fforce myself upon anyone, Rose said.dddddddddddd When she sent me texts like that 99 percent of the time it ended up in sex, so what do you expect?The string of text messages the day of Aug. 26 and into early the next morning have been a key feature of the trial, providing a timeline and also helping the woman recreate what she says she blacked out.Three text messages sent by the woman that the defense said it didnt receive until Friday could get the case tossed out or have it end in mistrial.U.S. District Court Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald blasted the plaintiffs lawyer for being unbelievably careless producing exhibits.Roses lawyers alleged evidence tampering because messages in their clients favor were withheld, including a profane message the woman sent to Rose at 1:36 a.m. in which she referred to him as babe and asked why he didnt have sex with a friend she brought to his house earlier.The womans lawyers said all texts had been disclosed to the defense.Fitzgerald gave lawyers until Wednesday morning to prove they had been shared with the defense.A mistrial could push a new trial into the NBA regular season, Fitzgerald said.Rose said he has permission from New York Knicks President Phil Jackson to miss the next three preseason games until the trial is concluded.Testimony concluded for the day with Randall Hampton, Roses personal assistant and co-defendant, being called to the stand by the womans lawyer to show inconsistencies and contradictions in their testimony.Hampton said his boss has a poor memory and provided a conflicting account about the evening at Roses house.Hampton said the woman had sex with him and Rose at the Beverly Hills house. Rose testified that the woman initiated trying to have oral sex with him while she was having sex with Hampton.Hampton, however, said Rose initiated that act and then later had sex with the woman on a bed at a poolside cabana.He has a hard time remembering things, Hampton said of Rose, who he said is like a brother to him.When asked if he was concerned about having sex with Roses ex-girlfriend, Hampton said he never saw her as a girlfriend of Roses even though he booked trips for her to visit the point guard in Chicago and Philadelphia.To have sex, Hampton said, thats what I was booking the flights for.Cheap Jerseys [rd in Chicago and Philadelphia.To h Jerseys[/url] Wholesale Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
