For the last few months, Mohammad Hafeezs selection has been justified because of his contribution with the ball. But his flop-show in the ODIs against Bangladesh, coupled with his lack of form with the bat, pushed him to the very edge. Hafeezs Test career has resembled a zig-zag pattern. He made 197 against New Zealand last year, but had been dropped twice in the last two years. He was first dropped in 2013, after having been the part of the side consistently since 2010, for the South Africa series in UAE, but returned for the corresponding home Tests against Sri Lanka. He was once again dropped for the tour of Sri Lanka last year, but was called back to face Australia in UAE. Since then, he has scored 690 runs from seven innings at 115.Hafeez is back, at least for now. He scored a crucial double-century on Thursday, having missed the landmark twice in the past. He has asserted his case strongly enough to make up for an otherwise idle month.His double-hundred in Khulna was his first, overshadowing his recent record in limited-over cricket where he has only managed to score eight runs in three ODIs. Over the last five months, Hafeez has clearly not been at his best, and he was ruled out of the World Cup over his lack of fitness and inability to bowl in international cricket due to an illegal action.During the training sessions before this Test, Hafeez hardly broke into a smile, and was often seen exclusively training with his assistant coach Shahid Aslam. But today, he entered into the press conference hall with a big broad smile. He looked satisfied, and warmly greeted the media.I was under pressure after the ODI series and I knew I had to do something to regain my confidence and I tried hard, he said. There was a demand for the team to play a positive innings and I am happy that I have been able to do the best for my team. This was not really the best one, but you can say its one of the best one I can remember, and a double-hundred is always something which is special for any batsman in the world.I didnt have to prove anything to anyone with this innings. I know things were taken that way in the past that I had to prove myself after every one or two matches, but I always go with my best efforts for the team and not for myself. My runs are for contribution for the team and are not for my personal goals.Hafeez got to his double-century by sweeping behind square for two. He went down on his knee and performed the sajda. He then looked up at the sky for a few seconds, holding the bat with the upper blade. All the pressure of expectations was now cornered.It wasnt a completely chance-less innings, though. Hafeez was originally was given out caught behind on 13 in the fourth over of the innings when his square cut missed the bat. However, he reviewed and survived. Later, when on 173, he got another life when Bangladesh reviewed for an lbw, but in vain.The first review I took, I knew I didnt nick and I am sure that nothing happened but I regathered myself and maintained my positive attitude towards my innings. Obviously I had in mind that I had missed out twice in 190s previously, and that was exactly in my mind and I had to ensure that this time I did not miss.I pushed myself hard to avoid any negative thoughts and not panic. I kept my calm stay at ease near the 200-mark. I missed my double in the past twice, and I didnt want to miss it this time so I had to pull myself again after both DRS calls and also I had a strong belief that I could do it this time.Pakistan scored 106 in the first session, though they pulled down their run-rate by scoring only 88 after lunch. Hafeez felt Bangladesh started bowling negatively in patches, forcing Pakistan to a more cautious approach.At certain stages they bowled well and applied some techniques so according to that we had to adjust. They tried some negative bowling to pull themselves back from their attacking mindset, so thats why we didnt want to go with the flow.We didnt want to lose our grip from the match, so we rejigged our plan a bit to avoid attacking. But the way Sarfaraz Ahmed and Asad Shafiq played at the end, that really got our momentum back and we are back on the road where we actually wanted to be.Despite Shakib Al Hasan being Bangladeshs most experienced bowler, Hafeez was relatively more attacking against the spinner, hitting two sixes and scoring 57 off 67 deliveries.As a team we rate Shakib very highly since we know that he is one of the key factors in their team. But we wanted to minimise the Shakib impact by putting pressure on him. He was trying a bit too much, so I had to go with an attacking mindset. I didnt want to leave anything and tried to cash in every ball and this worked for me against him. Swell Water Bottle Clearance .

New F1 chairman Chase Carey says the sport should be in places like Los Angeles, New York or Miami, as he seeks to take the sport to the great cities in the world.Carey has been installed by F1s new owners Liberty Media, who have agreed to purchase a controlling stake in the sport. The American, who used to be Rupert Murdochs right-hand man at News Corportation, made his first paddock appearance at the Singapore Grand Prix.American company Liberty spoke about evolving the current calendar shortly after announcing their takeover and Carey thinks F1 should be going to some of the most famous destinations in the world.In a Q and A with the official F1 website, Carey was quizzed on a number of topics, including how Liberty will strengthen the sport in America and across the world.It is too early to have a clear plan, but we clearly will have a plan to develop America, to be in the right market, Carey said. As I said earlier, there is a big untapped audience in the US. I dont want to criticise the efforts in the past, because I dont know the efforts in the past.Formula One is a great premium brand and that means to me that you want to be at a location like Los Angeles, New York or Miami. Ideally inn the great cities in the world!F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone, who has been kept on as CEO by Liberty, has spent a long time trying to break the American market.dddddddddddd. Though F1 current has the U.S. Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, Ecclestone has recently talked about getting a race on the West Coast.Carey was also asked what he thought were the sports biggest assets. Though he has only been involved for just over a week since the takeover the American outlined where he felt the sport is strong currently.I am not sure I can break it down to three! Lets give it a try: the amazing cars and technology; the stars -- the world is built on heroes; the global aspect of the sport with these amazing venues. I have not been to all the venues so far, but Singapore certainly is amazing.The race is great -- thats the core -- but it is really a week-long extravaganza with music and entertainment. Thats really what it is about -- great events. This is it: creating a great event. So there you have the three: the cars and technology; the stars; and the events -- the live experience. ' ' '
