Asif on the comeback trailPlaying his second first-class match since being banned for match-fixing, Mohammad Asif took 4 for 33 as Water and Power Development Authority beat Peshawar by six wickets. He dismissed three of the top four batsmen and made sure his team - despite giving up a first-innings lead - came out on top. He seemed to retain the accuracy he was known for and there were those hooping inswingers as well, which dismantled the stumps of Jamaluddin in the first innings and Ashfaq Ahmed in the second.Peshawar had been put in to bat, and they made 273 before bowling WAPDA out for 180 with the help of left-arm seamer Taj Wali, who had become the first bowler in 20 years to take four wickets in four balls last year, and Sajid Khan, who picked up a five-wicket haul on debut.But Asif, and left-arm seamer Waqas Maqsood, took eight wickets between them to restrict WAPDAs target to 223 in the final innings. They were 62 for 4 after the third-days play but lost no wickets on the fourth as a brilliant counterattack from Kamran Akmal at No. 6 - 116 off 163 balls with 14 fours - gave them the game.Theres life in the graveyardDennis Lillee, the former Australia fast bowler, had said the Faisalabad pitch was a bowlers graveyard after playing in a match that saw 999 runs being scored for the loss of only 12 wickets. That was in 1980. Things seemed to have changed in 2016 with 18 wickets falling in a single day in the match between Lahore Blues and Habib Bank Limited.The spree began with Umar Gul taking 5 for 39 and bowling Lahore Blues out for 119 in their first innings and continued with seamer Shahid Nawaz picking up 4 for 30 to limit Habib Bank to 116 in their second innings. That left Lahore Blues with a target of 168 which was achieved with their captain Saad Nasim at the crease on an unbeaten 53 off 37.A thriller in KarachiTwenty-one wickets fell on the opening day of the match between Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited and Karachi Whites, played on another pitch that is traditionally helpful to the batsmen at United Bank Limited Sports Complex.SNGPL, the defending champions, were put in and bowled out for 128 in 41.5 overs. They still gained a first-innings lead though with seven of the Karachi batsmen falling for single-digits. Opener and captain Shahzaib Hasan top-scored with 61 off 33 balls, with 12 fours and a six. Seamer Azizullah picked up 5 for 42.For Karachi Whites, seamer Tabish Khan took 5 for 23, and ended up with eight wickets in the match, including Mohammad Hafeezs in both innings.Hafeez, though, emerged the winning captain with his team-mate Mohammad Rizwan striking 95 off 178 balls in the second innings to lift SNGPL from 42 for 4 to 235. That left Karachi Whites with 246 to chase in six sessions and they seemed to have the game well in hand at 125 for 4, but seamers Asad Ali and Bilawal Bhatti kept fighting.When the score slipped to 187 for 8, SNGPL seemed to have regained control. However, Mohammad Hasan and Tabish Khan resisted with a 33-run ninth-wicket partnership and Karachi Whites had dragged themselves to 220 for 8 - a mere 26 runs away from victory. That was when they lost both their remaining wickets and Asad, with 6 for 60 and Bhatti, with 3 for 68, were toasting a hard-earned victory.Shehzads mysterious absence Ahmed Shehzad has not been part of the Pakistan team since the World T20 in February due to disciplinary issues. But with Pakistan looking for Test openers, he was cleared to play for the national side provided he could show good form with the bat. He captained Habib Bank Limited in the third round of the Quaid-e-Azam (QEA) Trophy and scored 54. This was after he was picked in a PCB XI to face the touring West Indians on October 7.Shehzad, however, did not play this round of the QEA Trophy. It is learnt that the selectors are now considering one of Hafeez, Sharjeel Khan or Shan Masood to partner Sami Aslam at the top of the order for the tour of New Zealand.

LOUIS -- Alexander Steen scored a power-play goal with 59. Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell viewed bringing in Greg Hardy for a workout last week as a fact-finding mission rather than an attempt to bolster their pass rush.Caldwell said Monday that the Jaguars didnt intend to sign Hardy after his two-day workout last Wednesday and Thursday but wanted to see him on the field and meet with him so they would have enough information about the free-agent defensive end should they decide to pursue him in the future.It was really to find out more about him so we dont have any questions going into the season, Caldwell said. Theres no what-ifs for us right now. There could have been a what-if Week 3, Week 4 or into the preseason, but we kind of have our questions answered as to our game plan for him.... It was an opportunity for us -- heres a guy that was a franchise defensive end two years ago sitting out on the street -- to bring him in, work him out and try to find out the facts where hes at, the truth behind everything that surrounds him and just do our homework.Caldwell said the team spoke with Hardy about his domestic violence conviction and eventual dismissal as well as events that transpired last season while he was a member of the Dallas Cowboys. However, Caldwell said he wouldnt go into the specifics of what the team asked and Hardys responses.We brought him in and he did a workout, Caldwell said. Its not often you get your chance to put your hands on a player of that caliber to work him out. So well just see where its at. We have no imminent plans of signing him at this point, but it was good to get him in here and find out about him.Hardy, 27, has 40 sacks in six seasons, including six last season. The Cowboys did not renew his contract, and he went unsigned during free agency.Hardy was suspended for the first four games of the 2015 season for violating the NFLs personal conduct policy in connection with a 2014 domestic violence incident. He was accused of assaulting theen-girlfriend Nicole Holder; he allegedly threw her into a bathtub and on a futon covered with guns and tried to choke her.ddddddddddddA judge in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, found him guilty on charges of domestic violence in July 2014.Hardy denied the charges and said Holder was under the influence of alcohol and was angry because he told her to leave his home. He appealed the conviction, and the case was dismissed in February 2015 after prosecutors said they were unable to locate Holder. The prosecutors also said Holder had reached a settlement with Hardy.In addition, Hardy stirred controversy throughout the 2015 season with several comments, including saying he was going to come out guns blazing in his return to the field. Hardy also shoved an assistant coach and got into a shouting match on the sideline with Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant.Caldwell said he was aware of a potential public relations backlash if the team were to sign Hardy and said that decision would not be made lightly.Domestic violence is a serious issue, Caldwell said. Theres no place for it in the world, let alone the NFL. But I think for us, were going to do whats best for our team. We have 52 players that want to win. We have a coaching staff that wants to win as much as our fan base. Were going to turn over every rock, but not at any price.The Jaguars lack a veteran edge rusher and did have conversations with Hardys agent during free agency, but did not pursue him at that time.Jacksonville tried to sign Olivier Vernon in free agency, but he agreed to a five-year, $85 million deal with the New York Giants. The Jaguars top two edge rushers are Dante Fowler, Jr., who missed his rookie season in 2015 after suffering a torn left ACL on the first day of rookie minicamp, and rookie Yannick Ngakoue, the teams third-round draft pick.
