Worst Series

. Team India's third-worst series After the Test series humiliation, the T20 defeat and the ODI debacle, many Team India fans would have exhaled in relief that the misery has come to an end. The doomed tour's over but it has found a place in cricket's history book as India's third-worst performance in a combined Test and ODI series. In 86 such series where India played both ODI and Test matches, this is only the fourth time that they failed to register even a single win. The 1974 tour of England is considered to be the worst in which the Indians lost all the three Tests and two ODIs. Incidentally, India played their first-ever ODI on that tour.

Pak Railways Bankrupts suspends 53 more trains indefinitely . KARACHI — Bankrupt Pakistan Railways, surviving on money doled out from the exchequer, is on the verge of collapse after 53 more trains were suspended for an indefinite period due to shortage of engines creating chaos and leaving millions of passengers stranded at stations around the country. To maintain whatever services available, the federal government under pressure from its ally, the Awami National Party (ANP), whose key leader is Railways Minister, last week agreed to inject Rs11 billion to save the system from total collapse. Some of the trains suspended include the important Quetta Express which usually carries thousands of passengers daily between Karachi and Quetta and onward to several Punjab cities. The worst sufferers are Karachiites where schedules are daily disrupted and delays range from six to 24 hours for major trains for the past several weeks and little or no hope of betterment.
