England 480-8 dec Pakistan 119-2
England 480-8 dec Pakistan 119-2
In test cricket there are spinners and there are slow bowlers. On the evidence of this Test match so far, Saqlain Mushtaq is in the first category while everyone else is in the second, a classification that does not bode well for England winning their first Test match in Pakistan for 38 years.
Saqlain, who bowled 74 overs, took all eight wickets to fall in England's first innings of 480 for 8. Only two people in history, Jim Laker and Anil Kumble have taken all 10, though England's declaration at lunch put paid to any chances of another spinner joining them.
Yet, perhaps the most remarkable statistic in Saqlain's career-best 8 for 164 was that no one else took a wicket in the other 122 overs. Others came close, with lbw appeals, but with umpire Riazuddin unmoved by fear or favour and Saqlain a near permanent fixture at the end umpired by Darrell Hair, only one man made inroads.
"I don't think about records, I just try to do well for my country," said Saqlain, when asked if he had hoped for all 10. "My finger and shoulder are a bit tired. It's the most overs I've bowled in an innings.
"England played well, but the pitch was slow and they had lots of time to see where the ball goes. We knew that England had got films about our bowling and we were mentally prepared for them to bat well.Although I believe we will draw the match, it will give them a lift. But we'll just have to come up with some new ideas for the next two Tests."
England's problem, despite reducing Pakistan to 119 for 2 by the close of the third day, is that although the batsmen can be justifiably proud of their part, they have no Saqlain to bowl for them.
That is no disgrace for, like Muttiah Muralitharan of Sri Lanka, he is a freakish bowler. But when Graeme Hick has more Test wickets than your other two front-line spinners put together (Hick now has 23, while Ian Salisbury and Ashley Giles have 21 between them), good fortune probably needs to play a part.
Ironically (or perhaps not if you place faith in statistics), it was Hick who broke through with the ball, when he had the left-handed opener Saeed Anwar lbw, playing no shot just before tea. Before that aberration, Saeed, one of the world's top five batsmen, had disdainfully hit the ball where he wanted, at will.
Perhaps playing safely to reach the tea interval, Saeed pushed half forward at Hick's second ball, hiding his bat behind his front pad just in case it turned. It did not, and England's appeal for lbw brought a raised index finger from umpire Hair.
It was probably out, but in the context of this match, Saeed was perhaps a little unlucky. Mind you, he should have known that after spinners with bent arms, one of Hair's crusades is against batsmen who tuck their bat behind their pads, claiming to play a shot. In England's Test against West Indies in Guyana three winters ago, he triggered four for just such negative play.
The Australian umpire was also quick to give Giles an official warning for running on the pitch when batting. Coming in after Craig White had fallen seven runs short of a maiden Test century, Giles scored an unbeaten 37. But runs were not his only tactic and, wearing his size 13 spikes, he tried to loosen the cracks in the pitch by running on them.
It is a trick favoured by old pros, and one Hair spotted immediately. According to the latest changes to the laws by the MCC, the warning is incurred on behalf of the whole team for that innings. After that, any further infringements bring, firstly, another warning, then a five-run penalty, the runs being awarded to the opponents' total at the end of the innings.
Giles's gamesmanship did not appear to help him or Salisbury when they bowled. On a pitch that has so far confounded everyone with its placidity, pressure has to be exerted. Saqlain managed this not only with his confounding variety of deliveries, but with an unerring control of them too, something no other spinner has managed to achieve.
At best, Giles and Salisbury were steady, while Hick, after his early success, was given the cafeteria treatment (help yourself) by Shahid Afridi. One blow, a mighty six over long-off, brought delirium to the modest crowd of around 4,000, who were again short-changed when bad light curtailed proceedings after only 75 overs had been bowled.
A big striker with an even bigger ego, Shahid raced to 50 off just 61 balls. Perhaps sensing his over-confidence, Giles switched to bowling into the rough from over the wicket. It worked and with the crowd chanting and his adrenalin pumping, Shahid skied his lofted drive to Darren Gough at long-off.
It was a useful wicket and, just as White had done for England, Shahid's assault had put them on the back foot. Unlike Shahid, White does not yet have a Test hundred to his name. A player growing in stature by the match, he thoroughly deserved one here and his departure, caught at short-leg off bat and pad for 93, was a cruel end to a marvellous innings.
* England's captain, Nasser Hussain, has been wearing a corset in this Test to try tosupport his bad back, which prevented him from batting at No 3 on the first day. Yesterday, the England physiotherapist, Dean Conway, admitted that Hussain had undergone a scan, which had found no major problem other than wear and tear. "He is in no major discomfort," said Conway, "but if the problem persists we may consider the use of an injection."Reuse content

Some of the best memories I have from Christmastime involve my roles in Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker. Auditions in September, weekly rehearsals, and multiple performances at the end of November. The same routine year after year, and the same exhilaration show after show. I will forever be grateful to this company for giving American dance students the opportunity of a lifetime to perform with professional Russian danseurs and ballerinas. As a gesture of gratitude, I want to introduce all of you to this beautiful production that is performed annually around North America. I am only going to show you a few photos and videos. If you want to see the rest of the production, you're going to have to buy tickets and attend a performance. Enjoy!

We seldom go out of the house on weekends because of the horrendous traffic conditions in Metro Manila but on rare occasions that we do, we opt for something more natural than the mall. It's not that malls are a bad thing, my daughter misses the mall so much that she did a happy dance last Monday when I told her we will be going. It's just that weekends in malls are so busy and constricting. A few months ago, we headed to Zambales to enjoy the waves. Julia, as usual went swimming as soon as we arrived. She loves the beach and making sand castles. Jansen, as usual went for the food hahaha! Here are our pics from that day.
Poppit Creations
Iya got this gift from her Tita Lani because it comprises two of her most favorite things! One, it is a craft kit and two, it has something to do with bunnies. This set is a supplemental kit and not a starter pack but the lack of a clay popper did not hinder her little hands from making all of these. Poppit is an air dry clay molding set similar to playdoh but lighter and softer. You mold, cut, assemble, decorate and wait for 24 hours to harden.
Halloween 2016
We love Halloween!
I stumbled upon our pictures last year while sorting through old photos. I only got to post one photo in Instagram and it's not enough tell the whole Halloween Party story…
As usual, I was still thinking about what Iya will wear up to the last minute. I wanted it to be easy to make, assemble, and wear because I don't have the time to create a detailed costume. Jansen was only 10 months around this time and I still lack my sanity. My options were the ready made ones like the princess dresses, Chinese costume, or her Minnie Mouse Halloween themed dress. However, I felt that she was over all these and I wanted to try something new. I suggested that she go as a Starbucks barista instead. I got the idea from my friend's daughter who wore this two years back. I found it so cute and doable that I bought a mini apron in Starbucks right away. The apron had been in her closet for two years already! Talk about early preparation! To complete this, I needed a white polo shirt, khaki pants, and black tie that I bought in SM boys wear. When I told her my plan she insisted that Jansen should also wear a costume to match. She was the one who recommended that we dress him up as a cup. I searched the internet and found the perfect thing! A white onesie painted with the logo and wrapped by a brown cup sleeve. I got the brown cloth from my mom's sewing box, asked Henry to buy a green fabric paint and got to work on Jansen's costume.

Just bloom and bloom
Inside my room;
I will take you to the window seat,
Where the sun will always greet.
I will water you day and night,
With the help of the sun's wonderful light;
From a seed you will grow,
To a flower that I know.
When you were a bud you were shy,
Now you are looking up the sky;
And now we finally meet,
Oh your beauty is a treat!
New Character
Julia's new obsession for the past month and still going strong is the "Merbun". This is a cross between a Mermaid and her ever favorite bunny, thus the birth of the Merbun!
She has been busy searching the internet for her new character and was happy to report that there were no Merbuns in Youtube. Google proved to be less than successful because there were about two sites who yielded the Merbun result. Oh my ever competitive Julia..
She also made a book about the little Merbunny. It's about a bunny who loves the sea that progresses to her full Merbun glory haha! Here it is with some of her practice poems.
Gender Pay Gap
I chanced upon this article this morning and yes it happened and it is a reality for me. When I graduated, I had high hopes that I will be part of the whole employment pyramid and will rise above the corporate ladder. I thought of being the head of my firm and will be the master of my time. I never considered that I will have and raise a family. I was idealistically independent. However a series of events led me to believe that I was not fit to be employed in a private firm let alone handle one. I felt more at home with academic work so I pursued my masters degree and worked full time (but still contractual) in government office. I eventually got married and had a kid.
by Julia F. Bernardo
Good night,
Sleep tight;
Under the moonlight,
Go to sleep with all your might.
See all the stars,
Count all the sheeps that jump over bars,
Dream that you can fly,
Above the pretty night sky.

SCHÜTZ: Symphoniae Sacrae III
The tragic ravages of the Thirty Years' War explicitly shaped the musical output of Heinrich Schütz.
The Requiem text has brought out the best in many composers. Requiem settings by Mozart, Verdi, and Fauré are among the most beloved works among singers and listeners alike, and there are equally wondrous settings by Berlioz and Duruflé, as well as composers from before 1750, notably Jean Gilles.
Kathleen Ferrier Remembered, from SOMM Recordings, makes available on CD archive broadcasts of British and German song. All come from BBC broadcasts made between 1947 and 1952. Of the 26 tracks in this collection, 19 are "new", not having been commercially released. The remaining seven have been remastered by sound restoration engineer Ted Kendall. Something here even for those who already own the complete recordings.
Matthias Goerne Schumann Lieder, with Markus Hinterhäuser, a new recording from Harmonia Mundi. Singers, especially baritones, often come into their prime as they approach 50, and Goerne, who has been a star since his 20's is now formidably impressive. The colours in his voice have matured, with even greater richness and depth than before.
La Jacquerie—here recorded for the first time—proves to be a wonderful opera, bringing delight upon delight.
Good news for lovers of Mozart's Marriage of Figaro: the famous Living Stereo recording, a co-production of RCA Victor and English Decca, is now available again, well remastered, on Urania.
In May 2016, Opera Rara gave Bellini aficionados a treat when they gave a concert performance of Vincenzo Bellini's first opera, Adelson e Salvini, at the Barbican Hall. The preceding week had been spent in the BBC's Maida Vale Studios, and this recording, released last month, is a very welcome addition to Opera Rara's bel canto catalogue.
Jonas Kaufmann Mahler Das Lied von der Erde is utterly unique but also works surprisingly well as a musical experience. This won't appeal to superficial listeners, but will reward those who take Mahler seriously enough to value the challenge of new perspectives.
A new recording, made late last year, Morfydd Owen : Portrait of a Lost Icon, from Tŷ Cerdd, specialists in Welsh music, reveals Owen as one of the more distinctive voices in British music of her era : a grand claim but not without foundation. To this day, Owen's tally of prizes awarded by the Royal Academy of Music remains unrivalled.
The Feast at Solhaug : Henrik Ibsen's play Gildet paa Solhaug (1856) inspired Wilhelm Stenhammer's opera Gillet på Solhaug. The world premiere recording is now available via Sterling CD, in a 3 disc set which includes full libretto and background history.
Honours yet again to Oehms Classics who understand the importance of excellence. A composer as good, and as individual, as Walter Braunfels deserves nothing less.
'Can great music be inspired by the throw of the dice?' asks Peter Phillips, director of The Tallis Scholars, in his liner notes to the ensemble's new recording of Josquin's Missa Di dadi (The Dice Mass). The fifteenth-century artist certainly had an abundant supply of devotional imagery. As one scholar has put it, during this age there was neither 'an object nor an action, however trivial, that [was] not constantly correlated with Christ or salvation'.
Francesco Cavalli's La Calisto was the composer's fifteenth opera, and the ninth to a libretto by Giovanni Faustini (1615-1651). First performed at the Teatro Sant'Apollinaire in Venice on 28th November 1651, the opera by might have been sub-titled 'Gods Behaving Badly', so debauched are the deities' dalliances and deviations, so egotistical their deceptions.
New from Oehms Classics, Walter Braunfels Orchestral Songs Vol 1. Luxury singers - Valentina Farcas, Klaus Florian Vogt and Michael Volle, with the Staatskapelle Weimar, conducted by Hansjörg Albrecht.
Edouard Lalo (1823-92) is best known today for his instrumental works: the Symphonie espagnole (which is, despite the title, a five-movement violin concerto), the Symphony in G Minor, and perhaps some movements from his ballet Namouna, a scintillating work that the young Debussy adored.
Two new recordings from highly acclaimed specialists Opera Rara - Gounod La Colombe and Donizetti Le Duc d'Albe.
It is not often that a major work by a forgotten composer gets rediscovered and makes an enormously favorable impression on today's listeners. That has happened, unexpectedly, with Herculanum, a four-act grand opera by Félicien David, which in 2014 was recorded for the first time.
This recording, made in the Adrian Boult Hall at the Birmingham Conservatoire of Music in June 2014, is the fourth disc in SOMM's series of recordings with Paul Spicer and the Birmingham Conservatoire Chamber Choir.
Félicien David's intriguing Le désert, for vocal and orchestral forces plus narrator, was widely performed in its own day, then disappeared from the performing repertory for nearly a century.
This well-packed disc is a delight and a revelation. Until now, even the most assiduous record collector had access to only a few of the nearly 100 songs published by Félicien David (1810-76), in recordings by such notable artists as Huguette Tourangeau, Ursula Mayer-Reinach, Udo Reinemann, and Joan Sutherland (the last-mentioned singing the duet "Les Hirondelles" with herself!).
This new release of John Taverner's virtuosic and florid Missa Corona spinea (produced by Gimell Records) comes two years after The Tallis Scholars' critically esteemed recording of the composer's Missa Gloria tibi Trinitas, which topped the UK Specialist Classical Album Chart for 6 weeks, and with which the ensemble celebrated their 40th anniversary. The recording also includes Taverner's two settings of Dum transisset Sabbatum.
The tragic ravages of the Thirty Years' War explicitly shaped the musical output of Heinrich Schütz.
His Kleine geistliche Konzerte feature concertos for one or a few solo singers with basso continuo, a move admittedly in keeping with the fashion for solo singing that marked the first part of the seventeenth century, but in this case also a practical necessity, born of the wartime depletion of resources. However, with the Peace of Westphalia and the cessation of fighting in 1648, Schütz was able once again to engage music on a grand scale in Dresden, and this takes published form in the third book of Symphoniae Sacrae (1650). These concertos in part echo the polychoral splendor of his Psalmen Davids of 1619, works that themselves bore the stamp of Schütz's enthusiastic study in Venice with Giovanni Gabrieli. (One of the 1650 concertos, "Siehe, wie fein und lieblich ists," is, in fact, a work written in 1619 for the wedding of the composer's brother.) But much of the 1650 collection also explores the concerted interplay of solo singing with virtuosic instrumental passagework. This, too, echoes earlier Venetian influences—Schütz had also studied in Venice with Monteverdi, as the first book of Symphoniae Sacrae attests—and this more modern influence is a clear strand in the 1650 collection.
Thus, this collection that celebrates the return of peace is also one that stylistically celebrates the composer's Italian roots, both in its grand scale and in its concerted writing. In other ways, the collection seems also interestingly attuned to a sense of music drama. The range of text types is broad: parables, psalms, Gospel exhortations, and dialogues. The dialogues, such as the famous scene of the conversion of St. Paul ("Saul, Saul, was verfolgst du mich?"), the appearance of the angel to the Holy Family, warning them to flee to Egypt ("Siehe, es erschien der Engel"), or the Holy Family's anxious discovery of the young Jesus in the Temple ("Mein Sohn, warum hast Du uns das getan?") become in Schütz's hands engaging dramatic scenes, rich in characterization and generically close to the oratorio.
Konrad Junghänel's performance with Cantus Cölln and the wind band, Concerto Palatino, is a spirited and stylish account. The best of the singing is found in the rapid passagework, rendered with notable clarity, ease, and ornamental flair. And the purity of treble sound in works like "O süsser Jesu Christ" or "O Jesu süss" is hauntingly memorable. The instrumental playing, especially that of the cornetts and trombones, is generally of two natures, both handled superbly here. Sometimes the winds function as voices, and the shapeliness of phrase and the exquisite blend of Concerto Palatino defy one to find a seam between voice and instrument. (This is most memorably evident in the concerto "Wo der Herr nicht bauet.) In other cases, the winds (and violins, too) display impressive levels of virtuosity, with the cornetts adding an added measure of accomplishment in so deftly scaling the high registers of the instrument.
On occasion one might wish for a less soloistic vocal sound in the tutti sections, particularly in the lower voices, but this is a relatively minor concern in context of the whole. It is also somewhat ironic that this performance directed by one of the great lutenists of the day, eschews lute continuo altogether, in favor of the unvaried use of the organ. A more diverse continuo palette would be a welcome touch, especially in the concertos of a more dramatic nature.
It is easy to perceive the aura of celebration in Schütz's 1650 collection. With this recording, the high level of performance gives us a reason to celebrate, as well.
