When the war came to an end, Douglas returned to the Features Department under Laurence Gilliam, before moving to the Third Programme when it was founded. They wanted to start a family, but it was only after many miscarriages that her three children Julia, Lewis and Francis were born between 1950 and 1960.Dylan Thomas famously gave Douglas Cleverdon the manuscript of Under Milk Wood, on condition that he could find it in the Soho pub where Thomas had left it Cleverdon did, and this was the source of later strife. When the lease on Albany Street was up in 1959, Douglas sold the manuscript to provide the down payment on the house in Barnsbury Square, Islington, to which he and Nest moved. Sued for its return, he was triumphantly vindicated in court, and husband and wife were photographed sitting on a park bench eating sandwiches before the judgment, Nest wearing a Davy Crockett hat out of the acting chest.When Douglas retired from the BBC, creativity and confusion continued in the imprint Clover Hill Editions that he set up with the printer Will Carter. The daughter of subsistence farmers in the Arsi region, Dibaba first came to Addis as a 14-year-old to study in high school and live with her elder sister, Ejigayehu, and another cousin, Bekelu Dibaba, who are both international runners. 4 was deceived with flight and lobbed a simple return catch to Kumble.The Indians resumed Sunday at 650 for five and added 55 for the loss of Patel (62) and Ajit Agarkar in 40 minutes before Ganguly declared. Tendulkar added 21 to his overnight 220 and posted the highest individual test innings by an Indian abroad.Tendulkar faced 436 balls in a 10–hour batting stint that spanned three days and ended a 14–month stretch between centuries.Lee, who took both wickets in the morning session, finished 4–201 in 39.3 overs – becoming only the second Australian bowler to concede 200 runs or more in one test innings.

Pathan then bowled Gilchrist in the penultimate over and returned 2–46.After reaching the tea interval at 210 for one, the Australians lost five wickets for 132 runs in the last 38 overs.Langer, who reached his 17th test century with a reverse sweep to the boundary off Murali Kartik, got a top edge and ‘keeper Parthiv Patel ran square of the wicket to complete the catch.Ponting was trapped lbw by a faster, flatter leg–break to make the total 229 for three and bring Waugh to the crease on his home ground.A crowd of more than 40,000 people rose to its feet to applaud the out–going Australian skipper and chanted “Steve Waugh, Steve Waugh.”He took charge of a 32–run stand with Martyn before the No. “If we do that with the discipline we can, the result will look after itself.”Kumble had Hayden and Langer caught out on either side of the tea interval, trapped No. 3 Ricky Ponting (25) lbw and caught–and–bowled Damien Martyn (7) to have Australia in trouble at 261 for four. He finished with figures of 4–103 off 31 overs, including 3–54 in the evening session.Now the joint leading bowler in the series with 16 wickets, Kumble triggered the Australian collapse with his enormous variation of deliveries.But keeping Australia pegged would be difficult, said Kumble, who is one of two bowlers to take all 10 wickets in a test innings (10–74 vs. We just need to think about taking each wicket – think about that rather than the ultimate result,” said Kumble. Irfan Pathan had Waugh caught behind and bowled Adam Gilchrist (6) with an inswinging yorker in a late spell.The series is level at 1–1 and India needs only a draw in the last test here to retain the Border–Gavaskar trophy it secured in 2001.However, with India holding a lead of 363 and needing 14 wickets in six sessions to win, a more likely scenario is Australia losing a test series at home for the first time in 11 years.”We have a great chance to win.

Australia still required 164 runs to reach the follow–on target (506) with two days remaining.Sachin Tendulkar’s career–high 241 not out inspired India to its highest ever test innings of 705 for seven, the biggest total the Australians have ever conceded at home, before Sourav Ganguly declared the innings closed 40 minutes into the third day.Anil Kumble chimed in with four top–order wickets after Justin Langer (117) and Matthew Hayden (67) started aggressively in a 147–run opening stand. Steve Waugh could not summon a trademark salvage job for his international finale, seeing off major wrecker Anil Kumble before falling for 40 as Australia ended yesterday at 342 for six and India moved into a series–winning position in the fourth test.
Simon Katich was batting on 51 and Brett Lee survived four balls without scoring at stumps. “But, in the context of the game, I have to look beyond that and think of stretching it way past 9,000.”Lara’s approach was dictated by the immediate loss of Gayle and Ramnaresh Sarwan, who had stunned the South Africans with their attack on the previous afternoon to allow the West Indies to resume at 178 for 1 yesterday.Gayle was out lbw to Shaun Pollock offering no shot, an inappropriate end for the tall left-hander who thrashed a six and 19 fours in raising his hundred off 79 balls on the second afternoon. Sarwan followed four runs later to a loose cut off Nel, setbacks that brought such a cautious response from Lara that he took 20 deliveries to score his first run.Once settled, Lara occasionally allowed himself his favourite strokes, through the off-side and off his legs, but he never tried anything extravagant until, with the last man, Fidel Edwards, his partner, he missed a wild swing at Nel.Lara spent almost an hour in the 90s until his most spectacular stroke, a hook off Jacques Kallis, sailed over square-leg for his only six to raise his hundred. Although delighted with his feat, Lara was more concerned about the impact he could make over the last two days of this Test.”There are now five guys over 9,000 runs and I suppose to get there with the least amount of innings and the least amount of Test matches is an achievement in itself,” he said.

It formed the foundation of the West Indies’ total of 427 that limited the deficit on South Africa’s formidable first-innings score of 538 to 106.The openers, Graeme Smith and Herschelle Gibbs, then comfortably built the lead up to 143 by the close, a strong position to press for their third successive victory in the series with two days remaining.On the way to his 24th Test hundred – and his sixth in the 11 Tests since his reinstatement as captain last March – Lara passed 9,000 runs in 177 innings, two fewer than Sachin Tendulkar, the Indian maestro, who had been the fastest to the landmark when he reached it against Australia on Friday. Although the Cowboys came into the game with the league’s top-ranked defense, the Panthers made them look ordinary. The game was a complete reversal of the regular-season meeting, when the Cowboys stifled Davis and held him to 59 yards rushing.. Atlas was what they called George Headley, the first in the long line of great West Indian batsmen, who had to take the weight of the batting on his shoulders through his country’s early years in Test cricket.
