MashaAllah, Hashim scored a century today and guided South Africa to a draw against England when it appeared that England would have been the run-away winners until 2 days ago. Cricinfo has the following words of praise for him:

Amla and Neil McKenzie deadened the match in the morning session, surviving unscathed at lunch, though by no means did England simply go through the motions. They persisted in a war of bouncers against Amla, attacking his supposed weakness; James Anderson, in particular, cranked up impressive pace from the Pavilion End, and fired in bumper after bumper to try and unsettle Amla. Yet not even an extraordinary leg-side field reminiscent of Bodyline could waver Amla's concentration, as he ducked, weaved and evaded all Anderson threw at him. Anything on his legs was duly whipped through midwicket with subcontinental elasticity. With Amla nudging and nurdling on a lifeless pitch, this was more Lahore than Lord's.

Also, Mohammed Yousuf has pulled out of the upcoming Champions Trophy to be held in Pakistan saying he doesn't want to play in the holy month of Ramadhan MashaAllah. It is high time that cricket administrators, especially the Muslim ones, realize the importance of Ramadhan and don't schedule anything during the month.
