Pak batsmen disappoint again
Steve waugh's confidence in his Australian bowlers yielded dividends as Pakistan were dismissed for 222 on the opening day of the second cricket Test today.

The reigning Asian Games gold medallists failed to sparkle in their quest for a maiden title before Dilip Tirkey, Gagan Ajit Singh and Dinesh Nayak struck to enable India claim full points from the inaugural Group A league tie at the Bukit Jalil Stadium.
