Sakib Al Hasan said-'One of Tamim's best innings'


Tamim Iqbal's 132 against Pakistan on Friday was his first ODI ton since March 2013 against Sri Lanka © AFP

Mushfiqur Rahim was surprised to get the Man-of-the-Match award after Friday's first ODI against Pakistan. He had scored a century, that too the third fastest by a Bangladeshi batsman in an ODI, and taken a catch. He was also involved in Bangladesh's highest ODI partnership for any wicket with Tamim Iqbal. Still, Mushfiqur felt that it was Tamim's 132 which had more impact on Bangladesh's highest-ever score in an ODI of 329 for 6. However, the judges thought differently.
"I tried to remind him of one thing," Mushfiqur said of Tamim after Bangladesh's 79-run win on Friday. "He used to get out in the 50s, 60s and 70s. I told him he cannot go for the shots until the last five overs because a new batsman can't come and start hitting from the onset. He took calculative risks. I was very surprised to get the Man-of-the-Match award. He deserved it."
This was Tamim's first ODI hundred in two years. He had broken his Test century hoodoo in the series against Zimbabwe last year, after which he looked relieved. A knee injury hampered his World Cup preparation and he made one significant score in the tournament, ending it with 155 runs at an average of 25.66. Every low score was greeted by derision on social media. Internet trolls and memes vilified Tamim, while there was always the odd question through traditional media about his place in the team.
There was an understanding that given his run of low scores, he shouldn't have played the warm-up match in Fatullah. He made just nine, further denting his confidence on the eve of the match.
Yet Tamim struck back on Friday with his fifth ODI hundred, a match-winning one at that. The duo of Mushfiqur and Tamim added 178 runs in just 21.4 overs, completely changing the course of the game as Bangladesh were 67 for two when Mahmudullah fell at the end of the 20th over. By the time Tamim got out, Bangladesh were looking towards a 300-run score.
Tamim didn't come to the post-match press conference so Mushfiqur and Shakib Al Hasan had to field many questions related to Tamim. Shakib praised Tamim's effort and said that it was one of the best innings he had seen of the batsman.
"It was an extraordinary innings," Shakib said. "To be honest, he was under some pressure but his batting didn't show any nerve. It is definitely one of his best innings. The way him and Mushfiqur batted, it was the turning point in the game. I think Tamim played the way he usually plays."
Mushfiqur said that he enjoyed Tamim's celebration which included a gesture towards the stands for the amount of talk on him. He said that patience should be shown with Tamim, because even though he has been going through a lean trot Tamim's last big innings wasn't too long ago.
'I think it was easy to understand [his celebration]," Mushfiqur said. "There was a lot of talk about him in the last 4-5 months. I believe there are very few accomplished batsman in Bangladesh. He got out to good balls in the last few games. People get out to bad balls. A batsman can go through a bad time.
"There were many batsmen in the World Cup who didn't score more than 200 runs. He had one very important score in the World Cup. We couldn't have won that game against Scotland had he not done well in that game. If we lost that game, we probably wouldn't have made it to the quarterfinals. It is not entirely the media's fault. There will always be criticism. We don't need support in a good time, rather we need it in bad time. I think his celebration was great. I liked it. I hope Tamim will play more big innings in the future."

James Anderson surpassed Sir Ian Botham as England's highest Test wicket-taker with his 384th dismissal in his 100th match


Anderson: Ramdin's scalp set an England Test record

Anderson said:"Taking over from an English legend is a hugely proud moment for me.
"I love taking wickets for England. You pick up milestones along the way and it was a huge landmark for me picking up 100 Tests this week."
Botham, commentating on Sky Sports, said: "I couldn't be happier. I've enjoyed watching him bowl; he richly deserves it.
"He's a magnificent performer. When you are a swing bowler you've got to learn how to do it, and the ball he got the wicket with was a terrific delivery."
Asked how many wickets Anderson could take before retiring, Botham said: "He can do 450 easily."
Former England captain Michael Vaughan told Test Match Special: "What a bowler Jimmy Anderson has been for England - a joy to watch throughout the years."

Anderson, 32, had West Indies' Denesh Ramdin caught at first slip on the final day of the first Test in Antigua.
The seamer, who began the Test on 380 wickets, was mobbed by his team-mates as his family celebrated in the crowd.
Ramdin's departure left West Indies 294-7, but Jason Holder's unbeaten 103 helped them secure a draw.
Lancashire's Anderson, who made his Test debut in 2003, has helped England win three Ashes series and rise to the top of the Test rankings in 2011

How Anderson made history...

All-rounder Botham took 383 wickets in 102 Tests between 1977 and 1992, as well as scoring 5,200 runs at an average of 33.54.
Anderson bettered Botham's tally in two matches fewer as England pressed for victory at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in the first Test of the three-match series.
Having taken two wickets in the first innings, he had Marlon Samuels taken at gully midway through the morning session to move level with Botham.

Gwyneth Paltrow Fails Food Stamp Challenge

Gwyneth Paltrow had been challenged by chef Mario Batali

Gwyneth Paltrow has lasted only four days after being challenged to live for a week on $29 - the equivalent of what low-income families in the US get in food stamps.

The Hollywood mega star and life-style guru said she broke the pledge to have "some chicken and fresh vegetables (and in full transparency, half a bag of black liquorice)".

Days ago Paltrow posted a photo on social media to show what she had bought with $29 (£16) - or slightly more because "things like avocados and limes are cheap in Southern California".



"As I suspected, we only made it through about four days," she wrote.

"My perspective has been forever altered by how difficult it was to eat wholesome, nutritious food on that budget, even for just a few days - a challenge that 47 million Americans face every day, week, and year."

The actress said that many "hardworking mothers are being asked to do the impossible: Feed their families on a budget which can only support food businesses that provide low-quality food".

"I'm not suggesting everyone eat organic food from some high horse in the sky. I'm saying everyone should be able to afford fresh, real food," she added, before calling for equal wage for women.

Paltrow, a 42-year-old mother of two whose lifestyle advice sometimes draws criticism and mockery, announced last week that she had taken up the challenge from her friend celebrity chef  Mario Batali on behalf of the NYC Food Bank.

McCullum, Smith pummel Mumbai Indian

Aakash Chopra: Two Man of the Match awards in three games for Ashish Nehra…well done, mate. Still one of the best Indian pace bowlers. #CSK #IPL

G Rajaraman: Who will stop CSK? And, who will lift Mumbai Indians now? No point blaming their bowlers since they didn’t manage the attack well. #MIvCSK

Dean Jones: The @ChennaiIPL completely , @mipaltan tonight!!! #IPL

Harsha Bhogle: I’m afraid this was a knockout. 183 was not a score to be tossed away nonchalantly. But it was. #CSKvs#MI #PepsiIPL

Freddie Wilde: That was brutal from #CSK. Meanwhile, #MIs bowling was as concerning as their batting. #IPL #MIvCSK

Nehra: ‘I am just working hard. T20 is a format where you don’t get wickets when you are bowling well. It’s important to pick wickets with the new ball. You have to be aggressive if you want to pick wickets. It is a batsman’s game, but I still believe bowlers are the ones who win you matches. If you bowl a good line and length up front, you set the tone. I just try to do the things which I am good at.’

Nehra is the Man of the Match for his bowling figures of 4-0-23-3.

Dhoni: ‘I was more worried about my bowling because it’s a good wicket. We don’t really get surprised if the opposition promotes someone up the order. Bhajji batted well in the last game and maybe that’s why they promoted him. Our plan was to bowl dot balls at him. At times you want to bat first if the unit wasn’t clicking. The reason why we wanted to bowl was because of the dew factor. I felt the first few overs were brilliant from our bowlers. We just want the guys to stay in a positive frame of mind.’
This is a big win for CSK. They’ve made a mockery of a big run chase and won the game with 20 balls to spare. Rohit Sharma and Co. didn’t have answers to the onslaught from McCullum and Smith. The deadly duo muscled the ball to all corners. The fact that even the likes of Malinga was smashed for 33 runs in his first two overs tells about their brutal hitting. Smith completed his fifty off 22 balls and although Harbhajan removed both the openers in the same over, CSK had the match in their bag with the start they got. Raina then got some runs and sealed the game alongside Bravo. CSK were 90/0 in 6 overs, the second best powerplay score in the history of IPL.

Rohit: ‘Pretty disappointed with the way we bowled and our attitude on the field wasn’t right. I thought 183 was a good score, but we didn’t execute our plans with the ball. There’s no way they could score 90 runs in the first six overs. I think that’s where we probably lost the game. We’ve been trying and possibly doing everything but it’s not coming off, but they played well too. At the end of the day you need to get the combination right, that’s what we were trying to do. I know it’s not working out. We know we’ve got to find the right balance. If you don’t win, nothing counts. Pretty disappointed to lose the game. We are not thinking anything right now, relax, take it easy and then think about our next match.’

Pamela Anderson Serves Veggie Meals In US Jail

The actress hopes the eating initiative will be a model for other prisons
Inmates at a prison in Arizona got a shock when Pamela Anderson turned up to serve lunch.

The former Baywatch star and animal rights activist was there to show support for Maricopa County Jail's vegetarian meal programme.

Anderson, who is a spokesperson for the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), told reporters she was impressed with what she saw.

"I think it's very helpful and encouraging to give people the chance to eat compassionately and make non-violent choices when it comes to their eating habits."

The correction centre in Phoenix stopped serving meat to the more than 8,000 inmates nearly a year and a half ago.

Some have criticises Anderson for aligning herself with Joe Arpaio, America's self-proclaimed "toughest sheriff" and a controversial figure who has been accused of racially profiling Latinos.

But the star focused on the meal initiative, saying she hoped the programme would be a model for prisons across the country.

Sheriff Arpaio said the programme has saved around $200,000 (£135,000) of taxpayer's money per year.

Prisoners are given a peanut butter sandwich with oranges and crackers for brunch and a hot meal of different vegetable and soy dishes for dinner.

Supermodel Gisele Takes Last Strut Down Catwalk

Gisele made her debut at the show two decades ago

The mega-earning supermodel sashays into the sunset as she ends her fairytale career in the place where it all began

The world's most famous supermodel, Gisele Bundchen, has made her final parade down the catwalk in an emotional goodbye in Sao Paulo.

The Brazilian said farewell to her 20-year career as friends and family, including her NFL superstar husband Tom Brady, looked on.

The 34-year-old's swansong took place during the city’s fashion week, the event where she made her debut two decades ago.

She turned out for Colcci, a Brazilian streetwear label, and burst into tears during a final hurrah which saw models emerge in jeans and T-shirts bearing her image.


In a posting on her Instagram account, which showed a photo of her aged 14, the Brazilian beauty wrote: "Today after 20 years in the industry, it is a privilege to be doing my last fashion show by choice and yet still be working in other facets of the business."

Bundchen, who has German ancestry, became famous after coming second in a nationwide modelling contest.

She moved to New York and became one of the fashion world’s true icons, rivalling the likes of Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell.

The supermodel's CV is a who's who of haute couture, including the likes of Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Valentino and Versace.

Being linked romantically to the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio and surfer Kelly Slater only added to her marketability.

In 2009, she married Brady, the New England Patriots quarterback and one of American Football’s biggest names, with whom she has two children.
