Naseem Shah has expressed frustration over the flat pitches in Pakistan, stating they are undermining the team's home advantage in Test cricket. In a disappointing recent Test, Pakistan allowed Bangladesh to dominate, with the visiting team making 565 runs over 167 overs, thwarting Pakistan's chances of a victory. Naseem, returning from injury, emphasized the need for Pakistan to reassess its pitch conditions and find ways to make them more conducive to fast bowling, noting the stark contrast to earlier years when pace helped the home side achieve success.

Cricket fans in Pakistan have a reason to rejoice, as Mohammad Rizwan has created history in this ongoing first Test against Bangladesh. His marvelous display brought to an end a 15-year-long wait for a Pakistani wicketkeeper-batter to reach the milestone in Test cricket. The class act was Rizwan’s 171 runs not out. He became the first Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter to score 150 or more runs since Kamran Akmal did it in 2009. But it was more than a personal high; it was an important moment for Pakistani cricket.

When I learned the brown tarantula is also native to Missouri, I gasped, and when I say I'm not too fond of spiders of any genus is an understatement. It's psychological. They have too many legs.

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.
