Sami sends Kiwis crashing to defeat

Lahore Dec. 1. Paceman Mohammad Sami rocked New Zealand with five wickets in 11 deliveries in Pakistan's convincing 124-run victory in the second one-day cricket international here today.

Sami, the 22-year-old right-arm paceman, skittled through the Kiwi tail with career-best five wickets for 10 runs as the tourists collapsed to 157 in 38.5 overs in reply to Pakistan's healthy total of 281 for six off 50 overs.

PCB chief resigns

The chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board Tauqir Zia resigned today, two days after a television fiasco deprived millions of fans of live coverage of the Pakistan-New Zealand one-day match.

Zia awarded television coverage rights to Dubai-based private channel GEO and ignored the State owned Pakistan Television (PTV), triggering a row between the two channels resulting in the first one-day match on Saturday not being broadcast live.

President Musharraf intervened in the stand-off and it was resolved yesterday.
