The Washington Post notes that “four consecutive snow days is unheard of,” and the possibility of the federal government being closed the whole week with a Friday off day could mean “uncharted territory.”

Waqar in 2007 had resigned as Pakistan bowling coach in protest at only being asked on the South Africa tour for the Tests and not the one-dayers and announced his decision hours before he was due to leave for South Africa, where Pakistan were to play three Tests and five one-dayers.
Pakistan national coach Intikhab Alam recently expressed his disappointment with the fielding and batting departments – in which he called for an improvement.

India Vs Srilanka T20 Live Score
India Vs Srilanka T20 Live Score, Sri Lanka posted a superb 29-run win over hosts India with a clinical and efficient all-round show. They batted brilliantly, fielded all right and bowled tight.
With the first T20 encounter gone to the islanders, Dhoni’s men would have to come up with something extra special to stop the visitors from making a clean sweep of the T20 duels of the tour.

Gautam Gambhir’s efforts had set the stands on fire with his pyrotechnics as he was slamming boundaries at will. His four consecutive fours off Lasith Malinga, dissecting the fielders gave a glimpse of his purple form with the willow. His fifty came up in just a matter of nineteen balls. His innings came to an end with an Angelo Mathews delivery at a score of fifty five runs. This is where things got a bit cramped for the hosts.

The Indian middle order snapped like a biscuit as Sri Lanka claimed Rohit Sharma and Yuvraj Singh even before a partnership could be carried forward. MS Dhoni had not lasted long after Gambhir’s departure and the induction of spin worked for the visitors with the game slipping out of their hands in the middle.
In the first half of the match, Kumar Sangakkara proved to be Dhoni’s chief nemesis as he blasted an array of fours and sixes and his support from the other end too was solid. The result was the registering of a mammoth 215 runs in the stipulated twenty overs.
Sangakkara was a man possessed, slamming his fifty in a mere 21 balls, a tone that marked the rest of his innings as he raced to seventy eight runs off just thirty seven balls.
The Indian team’s affliction could be assessed from the fact that this is the highest total by any team against India in an international T20 match.
The wickets were there, but a tad bit too late as the scoring was always racing away towards the 200-run mark from the word go.
