Coincidentally, Jason Holder, whose fast bowling had given West Indies early control, was Afridi’s final victim, lbw for a four-ball duck to hand Pakistan victory with 54 balls remaining. Continue reading |

During a break I got talking with John (Michael, Lawrence and Eastman were his other names) Forte and we got off on a friendship that would last some 20 years directly – and indirectly through his dad (Laurie Forte) and his cousin Gordon Forte.
