Florence Griffith Joyner dead
Florence Griffith Joyner, the American triple gold medalist at the 1988 Olympics, who captivated the world with her meteoric speed and flamboyant style, died on Monday of an apparent heart siezure. She was 38. Griffith Joyner had earlier suffered a heart seizure two years ago on a flight to St. Louis.
Sohail scripts Pakistan's success
Completing an amazing turnaround in form and fortune, Pakistan overhauled an Indian target of 256 in the final one-dayer to reverse the Sahara Cup scoreline of last year, winning it 4-1. They rallied smartly after losing the first game, and one was left wondering what in heavens went wrong with the Indians.
Despite winning the cup, Pakistanis bowled tightly
Despite having won the cup the Pakistanis bowled tightly and gave nothing away. Aaqib Javed and Azhar Mehmood bowled in the corridor to a good length and gave no freebies. Timing eluded Sachin time and again denying him even the oxygen of singles. He looked ruefully at his bat many times.
