England sustain World Cup ambition with goalless draw in Ukraine

England's Theo Walcott is brought down by Ukraine's Oleksandr Kucher during the World Cup qualifier in Kiev

A draw, Roy Hodgson happily declared, represents a satisfying night and, in one way at least, he was probably right. England remain top of Group H, a point ahead of Ukraine and Montenegro, and the simple mathematics is that if they win their final two games they guarantee their place at the World Cup without having to go through the ordeal of the playoffs.

World T20 prep begins for South Africa, Pakistan

In the space of 10 days, Pakistan and South Africa will play four Twenty20s, in what can be seen as the one of the longest mini-series the format has seen to date. In reality, these are two separate contests.

The first one was planned months ago, as the dessert to South Africa's ongoing UAE tour. The second was hastily arranged as a snack for South African cricket supporters who will see less of India than was originally scheduled. Together, they will script an intriguing narrative across continents that will rigorously examine the skill of both sides four months ahead of the World Twenty20.

Pakistani batting: A lost cause

Twenty20 today, many players will be taking the field with huge question marks over their future in the national squad

Nothing seems to be going right in Pakistan cricket. If it is not the Pakistan Cricket Board’s tussle with the courts, it is the complete lack of performance of the national team, especially its batting, which is letting the fans down badly. It is not just the 4-1 margin of defeat against South Africa in the One-Day International (ODI) series that has deflated the fans, it is the demoralising manner of the defeat, the lack of spirit and imagination of captain Misbahul Haq 

I still have that spark in me: Razzaq

Abdur Razzaq: Experienced campaigner Razzaq believes he still has the ability to turn a cricket match on its head

Once regarded as one of the best all-rounders in the world, Abdul Razzaq, for many, is a spent force. But the experienced campaigner does not agree, saying he still has the energy to compete at the international level.

Local body polls: SC approves new dates for Sindh, Punjab, K-P

ISLAMABAD: 

The Supreme Court has approved new dates for local body elections as recommended by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), Express News reported on Wednesday.

The decision was made during a hearing of a petition related to the issue.

The ECP suggested new dates for elections in Punjab, Sindh and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa in a letter written last night, which was later converted into a petition and admitted for hearing.

The new schedule states that elections in Sindh should be held on January 18, 2014, Punjab on January 30 and on any date in February in K-P and cantonment boards.

Reportedly, a senior ECP official wrote a letter to the SC registrar yesterday, explaining the problems with holding elections on the earlier announced dates.

The SC registrar asked for a new schedule and a second letter was written with new dates. This letter – which was reportedly kept a secret – was converted into a petition.

The apex court had earlier rejected a petition filed by the commission, seeking a two- to three-month delay in the deadline for local bodies elections. The ECP had said that credible elections were not possible in the given time-frame and that there were many lacunae in the local government laws of Punjab and Sindh, while both provinces had also not finalised the delimitations.

The National Assembly and Sindh Assembly had also passed resolutions, calling for delay in polls.

Previously, the chief justice had remarked that the delay in the LB election is a serious loss to the country as there have been no local governments for many years.
