ers at the corners in the fifth but Posey grounded out to the mo

Former Pakistan captain Waqar Younis has revealed that he contemplated quitting as the teams coach in the wake of the spot-fixing scandal in 2010, in which three of the teams players - Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir - received jail sentences and lengthy bans from the game. Speaking on the sixth episode of ESPNcricinfo Talking Cricket, to be aired on Friday on Sony ESPN, Waqar admitted the experience was sickening for the entire team.We all were very upset with the whole episode and everyone was down and out, and we couldnt really play the next day, Waqar said. I still remember... the late Yawar Saeed was the manager, and he was very upset and we couldnt do anything and it was very, very ugly.Even at one stage, I thought thats it, do I really want to work, do I really want to carry on with this whole thing? I went back and I spoke to my family and I couldnt really leave the team at the time. I went back and thought about it and I wanted to back these guys. Its not their fault, its maybe one or two who have done it, but the rest, they dont deserve all this and if I leave now, its going to get worse. Then, Misbah [ul-Haq] took over [as captain] and things started sort of rolling better and we did extremely well after that.Recalling his conversation with Amir after his infamous no-ball in the Lords Test, Waqar said he expressed bewilderment at how much Amir had overstepped. Look, when the whole thing happened, we were in a very good situation, Waqar said. That was the first morning of the Test match and they were five down when the whole thing happened, and they came out and then I sort of asked him [Amir] what the hell was that, there were couple of no-balls, and not the small no-balls, they were like a huge no-balls.That was more surprising for me [because he didnt have a history of bowling no-balls]. Salman Butt, of course, jumped in and he said, I told him to do it because Jonathan Trott was batting, and he said he was coming down the track and I thought of [asking him to] just bang in a couple short, dont worry about the no-ball.This is the answer I got from the captain, and, of course, from the bowler, and I bought it. Any coach, if you ask him if this is a tactic or captain tells you that this is a tactic, you will say, yeah, okay, fair enough.Waqar said he felt especially let down by Butt, who was the teams captain then, but sympathised with Amirs position. Amir was very, very down and why I feel for him is that because he was only like 17 then or 18, very young and from a very humble background, very poor background, he said. Someone who has been asked to do certain things for, you know, such a big amount, thats how I take it.Amirs reintegration into the side met with resistance from the likes of Mohammad Hafeez, but Waqar said he, and even Butt and Asif, deserved a second chance. It was a mistake and every human being... we are here, we make mistakes and we get punished for that and then the society and the culture give them that room again to come and be himself again, he said. He [Amir] could have achieved what even I didnt or even Wasim didnt achieve.He suffered a lot for five years, and my religion also says that if someone has done something and has been punished and the entire society has punished him for all these years, he deserves a chance. And, the same way, I feel that Salman Butt deserves a chance, Mohammad Asif deserves a chance. They have been through all the punishment they deserve.Waqar resigned as coach in April following Pakistans dismal showing at the Asia Cup and World T20. His second tenure as coach ended in messy circumstances after he submitted a scathing report in which he slammed Shahid Afridis style of captaincy and was critical of the PCBs decision of not giving him a say in the selection process, and the report was made public. Asked if he saw himself returning to a role with the Pakistan set-up, Waqar said both he and the PCB needed some time away from each other.I think we both need to step away from each other, he said. The cricket board also needs a little bit of space from me because Ive spoken a lot about it and I have spoken out of hurt because I feel that things need to change. If things wont change, we will be crying in maybe couple of years time. So, maybe see how it goes in the next year or so and then decide, but Im always around the game anyway.Watch ESPNcricinfo Talking Cricket at 9.30pm IST on Fridays, and the repeat at 12pm on Sundays, on SONY ESPNWholesale China Jerseys .Y. -- Marcell Dareus and the Buffalo Bills defence made life miserable for Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco.

"All the players, they know me and they were really happy to see me and they were really happy that this is over for me," Cilic said.DENVER -- Tyler Chatwood crossed up catcher Wilin Rosario, throwing a curve instead of a fastball, and it skipped past his catcher and bounced to the backstop. Buster Posey raced from second to third. But the ball ricocheted right back to Rosario, who spun and nailed Posey by several feet. It would be that kind of night for both the Colorado Rockies and the San Francisco Giants. "That was awesome," Chatwood said after the Rockies 10-2 rout Saturday night. "That was completely my fault. We had just gone over the signs and I completely whiffed it. So, for that to work out like it did was pretty helpful. "I crossed him up pretty good. But it worked out." Just like the rest of the night did for the Rockies, who capitalized on three more errors by the mistake-prone Giants. The wall was moved up six feet during the off-season when the Rockies added a walkway in front of the first row of box seats behind the plate, and that surely made a difference on the big play that helped thwart a big second inning by San Francisco. "He crossed me up, but thats OK," Rosario said. "I got lucky the ball hit the wall and come back fast to me." Chatwood (2-0) weaved his way in and out of several more sticky situations, allowing seven hits and four walks in 5 2-3 innings -- but he gave up just one run before hitting the showers after a 99-pitch performance. Promoted from Triple-A Colorado Springs before the game for his second stint with the Rockies, Chatwood helped himself out with an RBI single off Tim Lincecum, too. "I enjoy it, its fun," Chatwood said of hitting. Fielding has been a nightmare for the Giants on this trip. "We just came off a really good homestand and everythings that hit is either not at us or were having some difficulties handling tough balls. Its a funk," Giants right fielder Hunter Pence said. In addition to his nifty defensive play to thwart a big second inning, Rosario drove in three runs for the Rockies, who beat the Giants for the second straight time after snapping a 10-game losing streak to them with a 10-9 win one night earlier. Lincecum (3-3) committed a costly throwing error that led to a three-run third inning and also had a balk when he slipped off the mound that led to another run in the fourth before Rosario took him deep for his ninth homer in the fifth. The Giants defensive slump continued despite a team meeting before the game in which manager Bruce Bochy addressed San Franciscos poor play in the field. Then, he watched the Giants commit three more errors, giving them a dozen in the first five games of their six-game trip that wraps up Sunday at Coors Field. Posey airmailed a throw into centre field on Carlos Gonzalezs stolen base attempt in the first inning. Gonzales trotted to third but he was stranded there when Lincecum got Troy Tulowitzki to ground out to short to end the inning. In the top of the second inning, Posey tried to advance to third on a pitch that got past Rosario only to be out by several feet. Brandon Belt followed with a two-out double to the right-field corner. Gregor Blanco drove in Belt with a bloop single to centre, and Brandon Crawfoord drew an intentional walk before Lincecum was caught looking at the third strike, thwarting what could have been a bigger inning.dddddddddddd The Giants second error proved more costly as Lincecums bad throw on a comebacker led to a big third inning for Colorado. "It was just frustrating," Lincecum said. "Just not consistently hitting spots, leaving balls up. Kicking the ball around. That was probably the biggest frustrating thing for myself when I knew I could have made that play. After that I didnt collect myself and concentrate. Kind of unraveled." Dexter Fowler doubled down the left-field line, scoring Charlie Blackmon from second to tie it at 1. Fowler scored when Lincecum fielded Josh Rutledges chopper and threw the ball into right field. Rutledge ended up at third base and trotted home on Gonzalezs groundout. "Trying to make something there out of whats not possible," Bochy said. "Thats what weve got to stop doing, compounding the problem. Weve done it a few too many times. It might have caused him to lose a little focus." Lincecum said the Giants are pressing on defence. "People try to do too much in tough situations because we want to make that big play. Thats who we are," Lincecum said. "When it doesnt get made, it just adds to that frustration." The last time the Giants committed 12 errors in a five-game span was April 18-22, 1996, according to the team. "Errors arent always mental," Lincecum said. "You try to find the silver lining in the effort. Its not for lack of effort. Everyones hustling, everyones trying to make that play, thats why its tough." Lincecum slipped off the rubber while pitching to Blackmon in the fourth, resulting in a balk that sent Nolan Arenado to second base. He took third when Blackmon flied out to centre and scored on Chatwoods single back up the middle, making it 4-1. "My spike slipped on the mound," Lincecum said. "Its happened twice here already." The Giants put runners at the corners in the fifth but Posey grounded out to the mound to end the threat, and Rosarios two-run homer, his ninth, made it 6-1 in the fifth. All of the six runs Lincecum allowed in five innings were earned. He gave up seven hits and walked a pair. Rosarios 60-foot dribbler down the third-base line off Jean Machi in the seventh drove in Fowler from third to make it 7-1. Crawfords RBI single made it 7-2 in the eighth, but he committed San Franciscos third error in the bottom half of the inning when he took his eye off a throw back into the infield, allowing Fowler to advance to second following an RBI single.
