Pakistan wins Twenty20 World Cup final

It is a long way from their opening defeat to England (on the back of a poor warm up period) and Younus Khan's comments about this format being 'akin to WWE'. The victory will also hopefully boost cricket in Pakistan after what has been a miserable time of late, and Younus Khan called for sides to tour the country to ensure cricket continues in the country.

best Twenty20 team in the world

South Africa might be the best Twenty20 team in the world, but they certainly can't claim to have proven that now that they've lost to Pakistan. Yes, they thrashed England, who in turn has thrashed Pakistan, but that counts for little.

USA: Apolaro takes the Florida State Title with 720-09

This past weekend was the 7th and final round of the series and I decided to just run Sedan and finish what I started. I had already missed one race, so I needed to attend this final race. I had a very large lead in the points as I have TQ'd and won most of the races. All I needed to do for this race was basically just register and I would be fine.

A deflection is a shot which redirects a shot or a pass towards the goal from another player, by allowing the puck to strike the stick and carom towards the goal. A one-timer is a shot which is struck directly off a pass, without receiving the pass and shooting in two separate actions. A deke (short for decoy) is a feint with the body and/or stick to fool a defender or the goalie. Headmanning the puck, also known as cherry-picking or breaking out, is the tactic of rapidly passing to the player farthest down the ice.
