Pakistan rely on spinroads; they have won them 4/5 home Tests this way. But Lahore's pitch held for longer, and reverse swing took the last 3 wickets. On Pak's attempt to tweak their home formula so it isn't quite as dependent on the spin of a coin. www.espncricinfo.com/story/pak-vs...

Toss, turn, triumph: Pakistan's home formula pays off for now
Spin-friendly pitches and toss wins have revived Pakistan's home record, but concerns remain over the long-term consequences of the formula

Four months after Jason Gillespie quit as Pakistan head coach, the PCB and Gillespie have become involved in a financial dispute, with each accusing the other of breach of contract. www.espncricinfo.com/story/jason-...

Scoring just 82 in the final ten, England gave Australia a sniff. As those that crammed into Gaddafi know from plenty of bitter experience, you don't give Australia a sniff in ICC events. On Australia laying their hex on Lahore's shiny new stadium 👇 www.espncricinfo.com/story/champi...

Lahore can't look away as Australia do Australia things, led by Inglis
Both teams had equal support as the Champions Trophy arrived at Gaddafi Stadium and England seemed like they had killed off the game, but who could ever really bet against Australia?

Really enjoyed speaking to Shaheen Afridi ahead of the Champions Trophy about his ODI form, his relationship with the media, and the most challenging year of his career. www.espncricinfo.com/story/at-the...

At the Champions Trophy, Shaheen Afridi sees a chance to make history
Pakistan's front-line fast bowler has had a difficult couple of years, but he believes he's peaking just in time to make a mark at his country's first home ICC event since 1996

In a young country like Pakistan, most people have no memories of the last time Pakistan hosted an ICC event. Enjoyed speaking to Aaqib Javed and Ehsan Mani, a couple of people who do. 👇 www.espncricinfo.com/story/pakist...

Pakistan are hosting an ICC event: they haven't had that spirit here since 1996
With the Champions Trophy almost here, it is only natural for thoughts in the country to turn to the World Cup hosted there 29 years ago

This WI inns, 7-51, tracks with most of the rest of this match. Pak lost 4-46, then 6-43. Shakeel-Rizwan 141-0 looking like an absurd outlier. #PAKvsWI

Feel like ODI cricket in South Africa delivers more than it does arguably anywhere in the world. The 2027 WC should be superb. #SAvsPak

Shades of that Napier T20 that made Rizwan's T20I career in this innings if he can somehow manage to get Pakistan over the line here. #SAvsPAK

South Africa and Pakistan kick off a T20I series today. We are all very excited. www.espncricinfo.com/story/sa-vs-...

Pakistan, South Africa begin key all-format tour with low-context T20Is
There are ODIs in the lead up to the Champions Trophy, and Tests with WTC points up for grabs. But first, let's sit through three T20Is

South Africa could now lose both Tests against Pakistan and still be very strong contenders to reach the WTC final; their presence in a second ICC final in a year looks more and more like a lock.

Startling to discover that Kemar Roach's Test bowling average is about a run more than James Anderson's. And when Anderson had played 83 Tests (Roach's current number) he averaged two runs more than Roach. Had always just assumed Roach hovered in the early 30s.

There's a clear template to Pak's ODI wins. A ruthless bowling performance, and a firing Saim Ayub in a chase - all 3 of their ODI wins this month have come this way. Important to create as many routes to victory as possible, but this is the most obvious one for Pak right now. #ZimvsPak

Great piece, and a reminder that sport cannot justifiably look away from it

Sport may be a blunt tool of social change, but it’s time to take a stand against Israel | Jonathan Liew
As the bombardment continues in Gaza, bodies such as Fifa and the IOC have evaded taking a stand. But fans’ solidarity with Palestinians is growing and should not be ignored

Reminder that Pakistan's ludicrously thin WTC hopes rest on two draws in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. I am guessing Perth will not be one of those. #AusvsInd

Israel destroyed 83% of plant life in Gaza by June this year. It destroyed 70% of its agricultural land. It damaged or destroyed 65% of water tanks and 47% of groundwater wells. Israel has deliberately tried to make Gaza uninhabitable. This is genocide.

The PCB have confirmed Aqib Javed will remain on the selection committee while serving as white-ball coach. With Gillespie the red-ball coach for at least two more Tests, it's led to... an interesting situation. www.espncricinfo.com/story/pakist...

It's tough to expect the top 6 to play high risk cricket when there are effectively five tail-enders in an XI - can't ever see that working out against any top side. #AUSvsPAK
