22 c a r i b b e a n t i m e s . a g Friday 25th November 2016 Generation Next hosts camp with EPL By Marver Woodley Generation Next FC and Wadadli Strikers are scheduled to host a one-week camp in collaboration with English Premier League Club Stokes City on December 12-16. The announcement was made by cofounder and CEO of Generation Next, Rickey Santos said that there is a close relationship between themselves and the EPL team and not having an international camp for almost two years between both parties has urged the need for the camp for participant to experience once again what it is like to be coached by an international football team. Santos notes that the camp’s primary aim is expose the young players as international teams are always interested in fielding young players and the camp creates a better opportunity to be scouted. The facilitators will be Stokes City’s Youth coaches Simon Bradley and Jack Day and will be hosted at the St Anthony’s School. Youngsters aid in revival of fencing By Marver Woodley The ever dormant sport of fencing has raised from its slumber in the form of a three man Antigua and Barbuda team’s successful debut at the Barbados Independence Challenge Cup. Youngster Tamisha Thomas from the Princess Margret Secondary School and Marcel Maurice and Christopher Potter of St. Anthony’s Secondary School took on the competition in strides to capture bronze and gold. Thomas bagged the goal medal in the EP and Women’s Foil events while captured bronze in the men’s Foil Event Potter however was unable to secure a medal after contending in several events as well. Nonetheless the trio represented the twin island proud in their first competitive outside of the twin island borders. Other schools and interested youths are encouraged to join the country’s Fencing Association as it grows in numbers and adds to the country’s sport diversity. Employment VACANCY FOR A DRIVER.

Friday 25th November 2016 c a r i b b e a n t i m e s . a g 23 Pakistan strike twice on wet first day HAMILTON - Persistent rain ruled out any chance of play in the second and third sessions after Pakistan, having chosen an all-seam attack on a green pitch, picked up two New Zealand wickets after winning the toss. New Zealand batted positively, going after anything marginally loose, and scored 77 runs in 21 overs before rain forced an early lunch, 15 minutes before schedule. With intermittent showers continuing to afflict Seddon Park, umpires called off play at 4pm. It left the Test match suspended in an interesting though still embryonic position with Jeet Raval, carrying on from his impressive debut in Christchurch, batting on 35 and Ross Taylor, who seemed unbothered by the pterygium in his left eye, on 29 off 20 balls. Taylor looked far more assured than he had done in either South Africa or India, lining up in a more side-on stance than normal, and, perhaps as a consequence, lifting his bat up behind him rather than out towards gully as is usually the case, allowing it to come down straighter in defence while having no adverse effect on his traditional strength, the square-cut. Of the six fours he hit, five came off this shot. This was also because Pakistan bowled too short and too wide at him, and in general weren’t as accurate as the conditions demanded. Sohail Khan and Wahab Riaz were particularly guilty of The cut featured prominently among Ross Taylor’s six fours. spraying the ball around, while Imran Khan, returning to the Test line-up after more than a year, looked rusty, often slanting the ball too wide of off stump to make Raval play. It was a curious unraveling after Mohammad Amir had begun as well as he possibly could have, every ball of his first over tight on off stump, curling away from a good length or just short of it, forcing the two left-handed openers to play, and produced four edges and two plays-and-misses. Two of the edges carried to Sami Aslam at first slip. He dropped the first, at knee height while falling to his left, to reprieve Raval, and caught the second, to send back Tom Latham for a first-ball duck. Aside from that let-off and a couple of loose drives away from his body, Raval showed impressive judgment outside off, particularly against the right-armers angling the ball across him. He profited particularly from nudges off his legs and pulls, the latter shot rather effective on a pitch where the ball came through with true bounce but not a lot of pace. Kane Williamson looked in excellent touch in his 42-ball stay at the crease, easing two effortless drives through the off side when Amir overpitched, and defending with the softest hands in the game. When Amir dropped a difficult return catch in the fifth over of the morning, off a firmly hit straight drive, it looked as if Williamson might go on and make a substantial score, but it wasn’t to be, as he fell to Sohail after a Pakistan review. Getting the ball to nibble in from outside off stump, Sohail produced a tentative, half-forward poke, and the bowler and all the fielders behind the wicket went up instinctively when they heard a click through to the keeper. Simon Fry gave it not out on the field, and Ian Gould, the third umpire, overturned his decision; it seemed a tight call to make. HotSpot did not register an edge, and the Real-Time Snickometer seemed to show a spike an instant after the ball passed his inside edge, suggesting it may have hit his elbow. Some of the TV commentators, however, said they heard a double-noise, indicating the ball may have kissed the edge and then hit Williamson’s elbow. (ESPNcricinfo) cont’d from pg 16 for 4, only to ask confidently for a review as the ball had brushed his leg on the way through to Wade. However, the thinnest imaginable spike on Real-Time Snicko suggested there might have been a faint inside edge before the ball struck Philander, and third umpire Aleem Dar upheld the on-field decision. Still Australia could not run through the tail. Kyle Abbott contributed 17 from 50 balls and put on 54 with du Plessis for the eighth wicket - the highest partnership of the innings - before he was lbw to Bird. The final wicket came when Kagiso Rabada dragged his back foot just outside his crease off Nathan Lyon and was stumped by Matthew Wade, giving Lyon his first wicket since the first innings of the Perth Test, and ending his 660-ball drought. And yet still South Africa fought. Shamsi, on debut and with a first-class average of 8.18, struck an unbeaten 18 in a 39-run stand before his partner, du Plessis, called an end to the innings. The result was a Test match poised in a fascinating position at stumps on day one. And all because of du Plessis, who had made 118 out of 259 and then wrong-footed Australia with his declaration. If he has had a week to forget, at least this was a day to remember. (ESPNcricinfo)
