Batting 100 overs in the fourth innings West Indies lost the first Test in Dubai by 56 runs and the second in Abu Dhabi by 133, but they made Pakistan toil for both victories. They batted 109 and 108 overs in each of those final innings; only the fourth time they had batted for more than 100 overs in the fourth innings more than once in a series. The other three instances were: against England in 1930, Pakistan in 1977 and Australia in 1999. Only 12 times has a team done it in an away series, and this was a first for West Indies away from the Caribbean.Taking all three Tests into the fifth day Before this tour of the UAE, West Indies had taken only five away Tests out of the last 13, across five tours, into the fifth day. Of those five Tests, only the one in Dunedin had not been interrupted by rain or bad light over the first four days. They managed to take all three Tests in this series against Pakistan into the fifth day, and not a minute was lost to rain or bad light either. This was only the 12th series since 2000 in which West Indies took at least three Tests in a series into the fifth day.Brathwaite making Test history as an opener Never before in 2228 Test matches had an opener remained unbeaten in both innings of a Test. Kraigg Brathwaite did it in Sharjah. He carried his bat in the first innings, making 142 while West Indies were dismissed for 337, and then scored an unbeaten 60 in the second innings as they successfully chased 153 to win by five wickets.Holder turning a Test with the ballJason Holder has not had an easy time as West Indies captain. There were questions over whether he was too young when he was appointed in October 2015, at the age of 23. Since then West Indies have changed coaches and have had issues with senior players over selection. While coping with problems outside his control, Holder has also had to fend off questions over his place in the side: his batting average hasnt risen above 30 since his ninth Test and his bowling average was only a fraction under 50 after his 18th - the Dubai Test of this series. So his spell of 5 for 30 in Pakistans second innings in Sharjah, which began the collapse that culminated in West Indies needing only 153 to win, was a surprise - and a significant improvement over his previous career-best of 3 for 15. The Sharjah Test was Holders first win as captain, two days shy of his 25th birthday.Bishoo striking at a better rate than YasirDevendra Bishoo had taken only four wickets at 67 apiece in two innings in the recent home Tests against India, so a haul of 18 in three Tests against Pakistan in the UAE was quite a turnaround. Bishoo finished the series second on the wicket charts, taking them at an average of 27. His strike rate of 45 was better than that of Yasir Shah, who was the top wicket-taker. Bishoo took ten in the Dubai Test - 8 for 49 in the second innings - and seven in West Indies victory in Sharjah. Bishoos 18 are the most wickets for a West Indies spinner in a series since Lance Gibbs took 21 against India in 1974. Don Chaney Jersey .

The 29-year-old from Port Colborne, Ont., has nothing but good things to say about former U.S. marine Liz (Girlrilla) Carmouche ahead of their co-main event Wednesday on the UFCs "Fight for the Troops" televised card in Fort Campbell, Ky. As the Nashville Predators work on turning around their slow start, they were presented with two breaks from the schedule-maker.Not only are they finishing up a three-game homestand Friday when the Winnipeg Jets come to Nashville, they are also in the middle of a stretch of four straight games against their Central Division brethren, meaning wins can count for a little bit more.These games are huge, Nashville forward Filip Forsberg said. These division games are probably going to decide whos going to make the playoffs. Thats been the case for the last couple of years now.Forsberg got the Predators run of division games off to a good start, scoring a goal and picking up an assist Wednesday night in a 5-2 win over Dallas that upped their record in Bridgestone Arena to 7-1-1. Whats more, it upped Nashville (9-7-3) from sixth in the division to fourth.Nashville effectively swapped places with the Jets (9-11-2), a 3-1 loser Wednesday night in Minnesota. That dropped Winnipeg to 0-4-0 on its five-game road trip and 3-8-1 away from Manitoba this season.We were just about an inch shy on everything that happened for us tonight, Jets coach Paul Maurice said. Both teams were competing pretty hard on that puck and it was hard to get pucks to the net. The margin for error there was real small.There has been no margin for error for Winnipeg since it blanked Chicago 4-0 on Nov. 15 to claim second place in the division. It has been outscored 15-5 during its road trip and has been stuck on one goal for three straight games.Given the way Predators goalie Pekka RRinne played this month, the Jets chances of registering a crooked number dont look good in this one, either.dddddddddddd Rinne (8-5-3) stopped 33 shots Wednesday night, including all 22 Dallas threw at him in the second period.In 10 November games, Rinne is 7-1-2 with a 1.39 goals-against average and a .952 save percentage. He is not the entire reason Nashville is 6-2-1 in its last nine games, but he is clearly the teams first star this month.Hes a good goalie, Dallas left winger Jamie Benn said. Hes one of the best in the league and if he can see it, hes probably going to stop it.Also boding well for the Predators was getting goals from Forsberg and Ryan Johansen in the same game for the first time this season. Both have just two markers in 19 games, although Forsberg leads the team in points with 15 and Johansen has played a solid two-way game, ranking among the team leaders in plus-minus.Nashville coach Peter Laviolette was particularly pleased with Johansen, and linemates Viktor Arvidsson and James Neal, for their work against the Stars top line of Benn, Tyler Seguin and Cody Eakin.Hes working hard at both ends of the ice, Nashville Laviolette said of Johansen. I think theyre playing against big lines. Defensively, theyre trying to be responsible and play a good game and still contribute offensively.Fridays game starts a home-and-home series between the Predators and Jets. They meet again on Sunday in Winnipeg. ' ' '
