Pakistan have risen to No.
Zach Allen Womens Jersey . 1 in the ICCs Test
rankings for the first time. They took the top position from India, following
Indias washed out Test against West Indies in Trinidad.Pakistan had moved to No.
2 on the table last week, after drawing the Test series in England 2-2 and after
Australia were whitewashed 3-0 in Sri Lanka. At the same time, India had moved
to No. 1 after beating West Indies in the St Lucia Test to go 2-0 up in their
four-match series; they needed to win the final Test, in Trinidad, to hold on to
No. 1, but the match was drawn after weather and outfield issues forced play to
be abandoned over four days.Last week was the second time in less than a year
that Pakistan had moved to No. 2 on the rankings - the highest they had
previously been since the current rankings system was put in place in 2003. They
had featured at No. 2 for the first time in November 2015, after beating England
2-0 in the UAE.Their rise to No. 1 was built on the back of a run of unbeaten
Test series since August 2014, when they were down at No. 6. Apart from the
successes against England, they had also beaten Sri Lanka 2-1 in Sri Lanka,
Bangladesh 1-0 in Bangladesh, and whitewashed Australia 2-0 in the UAE. Against
New Zealand in the UAE in November 2014, the series during which Phillip Hughes
died in Sydney, they had drawn 1-1.Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq said he was
proud to have his team at the top, but his focus remained on delivering
consistently good performances going forward. There is no greater feeling than
to achieve the No. 1 ranking in the most traditional and purest format of the
sport, Misbah said. This is what cricketers play for and want to achieve in
their careers. It is a reward for something we had planned as a group a few
years ago and have worked extremely hard to achieve it.I want to compliment
everyone who has been involved in the process, including all the players, the
support personnel, the management, as well as our loyal fans and followers who
remained committed to us and continued to back and support the side through the
good and not-so-good days.For us, the No. 1 ranking is not a destination but
part of a journey. Our long-term objective and strategy is to remain
competitive, continue to challenge the top sides with good cricket and once
again become the most followed side like the Pakistan teams of yesteryears.PCB
chairman Shaharyar Khan, much like former coach Waqar Younis, said credit for
Pakistans achievement should go to Misbah. The ascension to the top of the ICC
Test rankings culminates an incredible journey for Pakistan, Khan said. This is
a historic moment in our rich Test cricket history and the credit for this great
achievement goes not only to this team but to all... coaches and support staff
members who have represented Pakistan in recent years. Misbah-ul-Haq deserves
special credit for his leadership through six crucial years.The No. 1 rank has
changed hands several times in 2016. In January, India took over from South
Africa after South Africa were defeated 0-2 by England at home. In February,
Australia climbed to No. 1 following their 2-0 win in New Zealand. They gave No.
1 back to India following their recent 0-3 loss in Sri Lanka, and then came
Indias handover to Pakistan.The ICCs ranking system takes into account matches
played over the previous four years, with the oldest matches in the cycle being
dropped every May. For the current cycle, matches played from May 2013 to April
2015 carry 50% weightage, while matches played since then carry 100% weightage.
In May 2017, matches played between May 2013 and April 2014 will be dropped from
the calculations.

-- Craig Stadler was sick of playing bad golf. The 1982 Masters winner had been
scoring in the high 70s and low 80s too often while dealing with back, hip and
foot ailments, and kept doing so when fully healthy. It was so bad, he
considered quitting the game. "I was probably close to that point three months
ago," Stadler said Saturday after firing a 7-under 65 at North Shore Country
Club to take the lead in the Encompass Championship with a total of 12-under
132. He went to teacher Billy Harmon in Palm Springs, Calif., in a last-ditch
effort to repair his game. "Billys standing there and he said, What are we
doing? " Stadler recalled. "I said, Youve got two days to fix it or Im done,
very simple. Its not fixed, but shooting in the 60s is a lot better than
shooting 78s and 82s. "It was no fun, and it was getting to be embarrassing."
The 60-year-old Stadler says his makeover isnt complete, but hes playing more
like the Stadler of old rather than an old Stadler. He shot 67 on Friday to
share the lead with four other players, then raced ahead of the field on
Saturday morning. Stadler holds a two-stroke lead on Bob Tway and Jeff Sluman
entering the final round. Stadler hasnt won on the Champions Tour since 2004.
The declining quality of his play the last few years finally triggered soul
searching, and the makeover with Harmon. "Ive just played rotten," Stadler said.
"I kind of went on a mission a month ago, and it was either try to figure out
what the heck Im doing wrong and fix it or Im going to quit. Its kind of getting
fixed. I have to think about four, five different thoughts on every shot." His
putting on Saturday was unconscious. He took only 23 putts, one-putting 11
greens. Putting and his short game have come back. "Once you start doing this
for a lifetime, you kind of have it in your blood and you either keep going or
you become totally noncompetitive and you just quit," Stadler said. "I wasnt
very good early this week, but its gotten better each day, so well
see.&quoot; Stadler had only one bogey on his card, and scored seven of his
eight birdies with putts of between 1-20 feet.
Pat Tillman Youth Jersey. . His other birdie
came on a 15-yard bunker shot he holed on the par-3 12th hole. Tway also shot a
65 to gain a share of second, while Slumans 66 included eight birdies and two
bogeys. David Frost was fourth, three strokes back after a 67 that included six
birdies. Steve Pate, Mark Calcavecchia, Tom Lehman and Bernhard Langer were tied
for fifth at 8 under. Calcavecchia and Langer added 69s to their opening 67s,
while Pate and Lehman shot 66 in the second round. Stadler shared the overnight
lead with Langer, Calcavecchia, Duffy Waldorf and Esteban Toledo. The 65s by
Stadler and Tway were a stroke off the course record set by Bo Hoag, then
playing for Ohio State, during Northwesterns Windon Classic in 2010. Tway was
6-under on his last seven holes thanks to a 6-foot eagle putt on the par-5 11th
and birdies on four of his last five holes, the last a 30-footer from the fringe
that fell into the cup. Sluman birdied four straight holes down the stretch to
threaten the lead. "The golf course wasnt easy, but with all the rain, the
greens were receptive to shots," Sluman said. "And I kept myself out of
trouble." Pates 66 included seven birdies in his first 15 holes before a bogey
at the par-4 seventh, his 16th hole of the day. Lehmans 66 featured four
straight birdies on his opening nine holes. Tway made only one birdie on his
front nine. The key to his inward 6-under 30 was a brilliant 3-iron to 6 feet on
the par-5 11th hole. He made the putt for eagle, parred the next two holes, then
sank birdie putts on four of the last five, including the big 30-footer at the
home hole. Like Stadler, who hasnt won since 2004, Tway has been in a slump. The
54-year-old has yet to win on the Champions Tour. "My game has not been what I
think it should be," Tway said. "My scoring has not been very good; chipping,
putting, wedge play, all the stuff. I just continue to work on it. Today was
better."
