Imads Wasim impressionImad Wasim was preparing to study medicine, but switched to cricket with a desire to emulate his hero - Wasim Akram. He didnt have enough pace, so he took up spin. Still, on Friday night in Dubai, Imad emulated his hero, tearing the oppositions top order into shreds with the new ball. He struck in the first over when he had Evin Lewis top-edging a slog-sweep to deep midwicket. In his next over, Imad nipped out Andre Fletcher and Marlon Samuels to leave West Indies 15 for 3 in 2.4 overs. Imad swerved one into Fletcher and beat his slog, before pinning Samuels lbw with an arm-ball. You have to play Imad like you play an inswing bowler, Waqar Younis, Akrams former new-ball partner, said on TV commentary. West Indies batsmen, clearly, werent listening.The six from No. 10 In their previous completed T20 fixture against India in Lauderhill, West Indies immediately set to work piling on the runs with opener Johnson Charles muscling Mohammed Shami down the ground for six in the first over. On Friday, the first six of West Indies innings came from the unlikeliest of quarters: No. 10 Jerome Taylor. In the 13th over, with his team 50 for 8, Taylor danced down the track and hoisted Mohammad Nawaz over his head.The four from No. 10 Taylor wasnt done yet. On a surface where his team-mates lurched from one bad shot to another, Taylor pulled off an outrageous scoop. Seeing Taylor walk across the off stump for a fine scoop over the leg side, Hasan Ali delivered a wide full-toss on the off side. Taylor rearranged his shot and managed to smartly scoop the ball over short third man instead for four.Latifs bullet Pakistans coach Mickey Arthur did not mince any words on the fitness and fielding of the team following the trip to the UK. Every player who arrived on this ODI and T20 tour has been below standard in fitness, which is not a good place to be, he had said. Khalid Latif showed glimpses of improvement when he speared a direct hit from mid-off to run Sunil Narine out for 1. After Narine had tapped Wahab to mid-off, Latif swooped in, picked the ball up and splattered the stumps, all in one swift motion. Narine was caught short by a handsome margin. Giannis Antetokounmpo Bucks Jersey . The head of USA Boxing came out swinging Tuesday with an open letter to Tyson -- a former Olympic hopeful himself -- that accuses the former heavyweight champion of trying to poach fighters who might be candidates for the U. Ray Allen Jersey . Here are his mid-season NBA awards. MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league. Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level. http://www.nbabucksproshop.com/Authentic-Kareem-Abdul-Jabbar-Bucks-Jersey/ . Marincin has played in two NHL games so far this season with two penalty minutes. The 21-year-old has three goals, four assists and a plus-5 rating in 24 games with the American Hockey Leagues Oklahoma City Barons this season. Eric Bledsoe Jersey . Coach Tom Thibodeau says the former MVP will probably start travelling with the team in the next few weeks. Rose tore the meniscus in his right knee at Portland in November and was ruled out for the remainder of the season by the Bulls. D. J. Wilson Jersey . The 18-year-old American had five birdies in her bogey-free round for a 17-under total of 196. Lee held the overnight lead but mixed three birdies with two bogeys for a 70. Style points arent in fashion at Wisconsin.The seventh-ranked Badgers will push opponents around with withering defense , and try to grind it out on the ground on offense. Theyre not necessarily going to stray from that successful formula just to make an impression on the College Football Playoff selection committee.Coach Paul Chryst is just fine with how his team looks, so long as it can close out the regular season with three straight wins, starting against Illinois on Saturday.I dont spend a lot of time trying to figure that out, Chryst said about blowout wins for other playoff contenders. If we can find a way to score one more point than our opponent each week, thats big. Thats the only guarantee to victory.In one sense, Chrysts club can breathe a collective sigh of relief. Wisconsin (7-2, 4-2 Big Ten, No. 7 CFP) emerged from its rigorous schedule -- five Top 10 opponents in nine games -- about as well as it could have hoped, other than going undefeated. The losses to Michigan and Ohio State were by a combined 14 points.Yet there are no signs of a letdown at Camp Randall Stadium.Doubted nearly every week this season, the Badgers can win the Big Ten West Division by winning their final three regular-season games. That would give Wisconsin a berth in the Big Ten title game, with the playoff potentially in reach.The Badgers should be favored in each of their last three games. After Illinois (3-6, 2-4) comes a trip to Purdue, followed by the rivalry game against Minnesota -- not that Wisconsin is peeking ahead.No, when we do that we lose focus on what we need to do. So just take care of one day at a time, one game at a time and then well see where we are at the end of this thing, tight end Troy Fumagalli said.Illinois has lost six straight to Wisconsin, last winning in 2007. But coach Lovie Smiths team is also brimming with confidence after ending another extended drought with a win over Michigan State last week. It was the Illinis first victory over the Spartans in a decade.I think you just get to the point where you keep pounding the rock, eventually you see a crack, Smith said. Now its about putting a big game together back-to-back.That will nott be easy in Madison on homecoming weekend.dddddddddddd Here are a couple of reasons why, plus other notes ahead of Saturdays game:RED WALL: Wisconsin is third in the FBS in scoring defense (13.7 points per game) and 11th in total defense (302.8 yards), quite the achievement considering the Badgers have lost their starting inside linebackers to injuries for the season. Theyve also had key injuries at nose tackle and in the secondary. But coordinator Justin Wilcox keeps plugging in replacements, with little drop-off in performance.BY GEORGE: Injuries have led Illinois to play Jeff George Jr. at quarterback, and the third-stringer came through last week against the Spartans with a touchdown pass for the go-ahead score with 1:25 left. It was a confidence-building play for the redshirt sophomore, the son of the former NFL quarterback and Illinois great. But George will be severely tested by Wisconsins defense.GIVE AND TAKE: Illinois quarterbacks have combined to throw just three interceptions, which is tied for fewest in the Big Ten, in spite of the turnover at the position. The defense is also second in the league in fumble recoveries (nine).IN AND OUT: Wisconsin rotates two quarterbacks, with freshman starter Alex Hornibrook taking the majority of snaps. He has shown poise and accuracy, but will give way to senior Bart Houston at times. Houston is a rocket-armed passer with mobility. The system has had middling success, but Chryst is committed to having both passers ready for duty.Illinois gives up 407.2 yards per game, which is 11th in the 14-team Big Ten.BALL HOGS: Running back Corey Clement is averaging 121.5 yards his last four games, and 4.38 yards per carry over that span. Still, the running game has moved along at times in fits and starts. That could change against Illinois, which is giving up 191.9 yards per game on the ground.---AP freelancer Dennis Semrau in Madison, Wisconsin, contributed to this story.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAP ' ' '
