Wahab Riaz comes from a privileged background. He studied at Aitchinson College, the prestigious, 129-year-old all-boys school located in Lahore, where the motto is Perseverance Commands Success. He was an enthusiastic swimmer and hockey player at school, and has grown into one of the worlds fastest bowlers, defying many barren pitches with his fury and adding a layer of raw menace to Pakistans bowling attack.His numbers - he averaged 34.66 before the Sharjah Test - dont quite do justice to his ability, and ever so often - such as during the Trent Bridge ODI in August, when he conceded 110 in his 10 overs - he can have a horror day. But while all that inconsistency might prevent him from being a great bowler, he is undoubtedly a bowler of great spells.On day three in Sharjah, he sparked another Test match to life just when it was drifting sleepily along, and just when the contest was slipping from Pakistans grasp. When he began his second spell of the day, West Indies were 311 for 7, leading by 30, and Kraigg Brathwaite and Devendra Bishoo had added 48 for the eighth wicket. Brathwaite was batting on 129.Brathwaite and the lower order could have extended the lead into truly uncomfortable territory for Pakistan, but that didnt happen. Wahab pinged Bishoo on the helmet with a bouncer before getting him caught behind in the fourth over of his spell. Then, in the space of 17 more reverse-swinging balls, he dismissed Alzarri Joseph and Shannon Gabriel as well, leaving Brathwaite stranded on 142 and limiting West Indies lead to 56.Wahab finished with figures of 5 for 88. It was only the second time he had taken a Test-match five-for.Its a good batting track, and obviously ball wasnt doing that much so we had to make plans for specific batsmen, but it didnt work, Wahab said at the end of the day. So we had to return to basics, and thankfully I finally got the reward.Yes, the five-wicket haul came after a long gap, but if you look, my debut match was in England and since then I have played major chunk of cricket in Asia. Pitches here arent sporting for the bowlers and you have do something unusual to take wickets, so I am happy with my progress and satisfied for fulfilling the teams plan.Wahab was returning to Pakistans attack after the team management rested him and Mohammad Amir for the second Test in Abu Dhabi in a bid to manage their workloads. Wahab said he had no issue going flat-out in the heat of the UAE, since it was his job to try and and coax life out of the slowest pitches.As far as workload is concerned, I know its really hard and I might be putting extra strain on my body, he said. But see, this is why I am representing Pakistan, as I am meant to give it all I have. I have a role to defy the pitch when other bowlers are not able to get something out of it. I am working hard even though it takes a lot out of me, but I am fit enough for this and I am happy playing such a role.Wahab said he was developing a good chemistry with Amir, his partner in left-arm pace.Obviously there is self-belief, and the trust has started to build up and we both communicate with each other regularly, Wahab said. Sometimes we as bowlers get frustrated and the other bowler comes to you and gives better advice. So we are sharing thoughts and applying each others tactical advice against batsmen, and its a good thing as a bowling unit.In the last hour of the day, Pakistans batting wobbled; they lost three wickets in the space of 17 balls to Jason Holder before their captain Misbah-ul-Haq fell playing an aggressive shot against the offspinner Roston Chase. It left them four down while still trailing by eight runs, before Azhar Ali and Sarfraz Ahmed saw them through to stumps with an unbroken stand of 39.Wahab said such things were part of cricket and it wouldnt be fair to blame the batsmen.Its cricket and it happens sometimes, he said. We are all working hard to win this Test match. I think somehow as batsmen and bowlers we lost our concentration for a while, maybe thinking that we will take back control and manage the situation. But we didnt execute well and we didnt capitalise, and lost our way. So I admit we made mistakes and it happens in cricket. Borje Salming Jersey . Still, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke thought taking him out before the fifth inning was an unusual move. "Im looking up at the board and hes got two hits given up and one run, and Im taking him out after the fourth inning," Roenicke said. Travis Dermott Jersey . -- Nate Robinson has played for seven teams, so beating one of them is no longer a rare occurrence. http://www.leafsauthority.com/authentic-bobby-baun-maple-leafs-jersey/ . The 26-year-old Ireland striker, who has four goals this season, has signed a three-and-a-half year contract with his new club. James Van Riemsdyk Jersey . After a first half in which he thought "the lid was on the basket," the Toronto Raptors coach watched his squad mount a second half surge to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers 98-91. Nazem Kadri Jersey . -- Whether Jeremy Hill deserves a prominent role in LSUs offence this early in the season is a matter for debate. American great Jimmy Connors has put his hand up to mentor wayward Australian Nick Kyrgios and help get his career back on track.The 64-year-old Connors, a famous firebrand through a long career boasting eight grand slam titles, made his approach on Twitter, saying: Its you (sic) choice - or just be mediocre!Connors previously served a 19-month stint as coach for compatriot Andy Roddick from 2006 to 2008, guiding the grand slam winner to a US Open final and five ATP titles.However, his last high-profile coaching gig, with Maria Sharapova in 2013, was over as soon as it began, the Russian former world No.1 firing him after one match.Connors tweet comes after the latest controversy involving Kyrgios.The world No.14 partly blamed mental fatigue for last weeks meltdown at the Shanghai Masters, which has resulted in him receiving an eight-week ban from the ATP Tour and more than $50,000 in fines.His ban will be reduced to three weeks if he meets conditions laid down by the sports governing body, including consulting a sports psychologist.However he cast doubt on that happening when he responded with probs not to a Twitter question about whether he would get his ban reduced after meeting with a psychologist.Kyrgios was accused of unprofessional behaviour by the umpire during this second-round loss to Mischaa Zverev in Shanghai a week ago.ddddddddddddHe argued with spectators after appearing to put in little effort during various stages of the match - even walking to the change of ends before one of his opponents serves had landed.After the match, Kyrgios said he owed his fans nothing and admitted taking the easy way out.Other thoughts from Kyrgios in Wednesdays Twitter Q&A included the 21-year-old indicating he may play fewer tournaments in 2017 when asked what his goals were for next year.More time off, he replied. But there seems little scope for Kyrgios to cut down his schedule next season.As it was, he only played 19 tournaments in 2016 - two more than Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray but considerably fewer than most of his other, less successful peers on tour.Most professionals play between 20 and 30 events, with some cramming in almost 40.Kyrgios would have contested 21 events this season had his eight-week ban not ruled him out of upcoming tournaments in Basel and Paris.Kyrgios was also questioned on Wednesday about whether he had always given 100 per cent effort on the tennis court, replying nah man.And he responded with lol when asked how he felt about playing tennis.
