9.5Misbah-ul-Haq (352 runs at 58.66)Must be now acknowledged as Pakistans greatest Test captain. He successfully masterminded yet another series victory over England in the UAE and in Sharjah he completed 20 wins as captain, becoming the third most successful captain from the subcontinent after MS Dhoni (27) and Sourav Ganguly (21). His proactive captaincy and his substantial contribution of 352 runs at 58.66 reasserted the calming influence that has helped Pakistan climb to No. 2 in the world despite all the challenges thrown at him.9Yasir Shah (15 wickets at 21.53)After missing the first Test with a back injury he had the impact everyone expected as he claimed 15 wickets in Dubai and Sharjah to earn the Man of the Series award. The pressure of expectation did not appear to burden him although occasionally he could become a little rushed, something Shane Warne spoke to him about. England defended him solidly for long periods, but Yasir claimed key wickets - including Alastair Cook three times - and produced a magic delivery to remove Samit Patel in Sharjah. Only Charlie Turner, the Australian seamer who played in the late 1800s, has more than Yasirs 76 wickets after 12 Tests.8Younis Khan (302 runs at 50.33)A record-breaking series for Younis as he surpassed Javed Miandads Pakistan run-tally, crossed 9000 runs and set his sights on 10,000 before he calls it a day. Did not produce a defining first innings, but his 118 in Dubai ensured no way back for England. His rash shot off Adil Rashid sparked Pakistans Abu Dhabi collapse and reiterated how important he remains to this line-up. Despite his age, the reflexes at slip have not been dimmed.Asad Shafiq (326 runs at 54.33)The investment in Shafiq has started to bring substantial results. He displayed tremendous composure in Abu Dhabi with an stylish century and his 83 in Dubai was vital after Pakistans first innings had been in the balance. He now has eight hundreds batting at No. 6, equalling the most centuries in that position alongside Garry Sobers.7Mohammad Hafeez (380 runs at 63.33)At a time when he is unable to bowl due to a suspect action, Hafeez imposed himself as a batsman and finished as Pakistans leading run-scorer. He benefitted from Englands fielding lapses - dropped on 7 in Abu Dhabi on his way to 98 and given a life on 97 in Sharjah - but made sure he took advantage. Still manages to lose concentration too often, but is as solid an option at the top as Pakistan have.Wahab Riaz (eight wickets at 43.37)On the face of it, an average above 40 would indicate an underwhelming series, but he produced one of the most incisive spells when he ripped through Englands middle order on the third morning in Dubai with a nine-over burst which defied conditions and was thoroughly deserving of his Man of the Match award. Waqar Younis, a hard coach to please, had been underwhelmed by a seemingly impressive burst in Abu Dhabi and made a few small technical adjustments to Wahab. Those efforts in Dubai appeared to have taken a fair amount of him and he was a little less impressive in Sharjah.6Zulfiqar Babar (nine wickets at 45.44)A workhorse for Misbah and his toil was rewarded with nine wickets and a economy which kept England quiet. His value in the second innings was on display in Dubai and Sharjah and he suffered more than most from missed chances.Imran Khan (six wickets at 24.66)Overall, the best figures of Pakistans quicks with six wickets in two Tests at 24.66 before he suffered a hand injury. Like Rahat he can often be overlooked because of the more eye-catching efforts of Wahab and Yasir, but he never let his captain down. His stamina and control will keep him around the Test squad and he should be a threat in England next year (where he might score his first Test run).5Shoaib Malik (292 runs at 48.66, 11 wickets at 20.72)A surprise recall to the Test side after five years was curtailed with a surprise retirement announcement midway through the Sharjah Test. His career-best 245 in Abu Dhabi was a remarkable comeback story, but that was followed by 0, 7, 2, 38, 0. However, in what became his final Test his claimed a career-best match haul of seven wickets to ensure a fluctuating Test career ended on a high.Sarfraz Ahmed (139 runs at 27.80)A strange series for the wicketkeeper-batsman, who hadnt missed making at least a half-century in a series since 2013, but ended up with a highest score of 39. He scored 139 in six innings at 27.80, his lowest return in the last two years as impetuosity got the better of him on occasions. Barring a couple of tight missed chances, he had a decent stint behind the stumps including two fabulous catches off Joe Root and James Taylor in Sharjah.Rahat Ali (four wickets at 39.25)A skilful bowler who has considerable ability with the old ball, though remains underrated. His figures were underwhelming, but one of his appearances was on the flattest of pitches in Abu Dhabi. On his return in Sharjah he produced some telling spells of reverse swing, claiming the key wicket of Root on the second day.4Azhar Ali (34 runs at 17.00)Due to a foot injury and then the death of a family member he missed the first two Tests and in the first innings in Sharjah his lack of recent batting showed. However, he helped form a crucial century opening stand in the second innings to wipe out Englands lead. He also held a stunning catch at short leg off Rashid to help ensure the lead did not swell to far. Would be fun to see more of his legspin.2Shan Masood (58 runs at 14.50)Became James Andersons bunny during the series as he fell four times to the England paceman, three times in single figures, but his 54 in the first innings in Dubai seized some early momentum and reminded of the talent which has Waqar rating him highly. Was left out to accommodate Azhars return, but Maliks retirement opens a spot for him to return. Was peppered at short leg and missed a few catches. Air Max 1 Baratas Hombre .

After slipping from the summit during the week, the Gunners overcame struggling Crystal Palace 2-0 on Sunday thanks to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlains second-half brace.TORONTO -- The camera caught Danny Koevermans face when he stood on the sideline, waiting to enter a game for the first time in nearly a year. It was unmistakable joy. "Goosebumps," Koevermans said of that moment. "Just a great feeling. The standing ovation from the fans. What Id been working for, and I was just so happy to finally be coming back on the pitch." The big Dutch striker made his season debut for Toronto FC on June 1, subbing into the game against visiting Philadelphia in the 86th minute in his first action since tearing his ACL last July. The 6-3 striker hasnt played since, sitting out Torontos 2-1 win over D.C. United last weekend that ended the teams 11-game winless streak. "Hopefully Ill get some more minutes in the coming weeks," Koevermans said at practice Friday. "Well see. Tomorrow in Houston maybe. You dont know." Toronto is in Houston on Saturday looking to put together back-to-back victories for the first time in nearly a year. Houston will be aiming to end their five game winless streak. Fans would love to see Koevermans back at full strength. The hard-charging forward was lethal in the air last season, and scored nine goals in 16 games before his injury dealt a huge blow to the team. TFC coach Ryan Nelsen said any player of Koevermans class "you want to get him on the field as much as you can." But its easier said than done to find minutes for Koevermans when Robert Earnshaw -- the teams leading scorer with six goals -- and Luis Silva have been playing well together. "And its just about getting the timing," Nelsen said. "An ACL injury, hes been away for close to a year now, so its not just going to fall into place just like that. Danny wants to get on the field but sometimes. . . the more he trains the more he gets used to it, the more he gets knocks, the better it is for him." Koevermans has made his home in Toronto since he was acquired in June of 2011 and did his rehab here. The 34-year-old said he never once doubted hed back playing at full strength. "The moment it happened, you just switch off, and switch on again to be back nine or 10 months later," Koeevermans said of his mindset.dddddddddddd Nelsen, who played his last game for Englands Queens Park Rangers in January before joining Toronto as coach, stayed late after practice to play small-sided games with Koevermans during the last few weeks of his recovery. "That was the best part of it, because youre back on the pitch. I love playing those games like theyre doing right now," Koevermans said, glancing over at a small-sided game Friday, featuring coaching staff and players who werent travelling to Houston. "I wish I was in there, because Ive missed a lot of months. The frustrating part is just to start, but when everything gets stronger, and gets better, thats the fun part, because you get to touch the ball again, run again, get some goals again. Thats the best part of it, and its only waiting for the comeback. "Maybe we could just sign (Nelsen), I think hes still fit," Koevermans added, laughing. Nelsen said he struggled in those games against Koevermans. "I was blowing a gasket even when I was marking (retired defender) Jimmy Brennan, let alone a player of Danny Koevermans class," Nelsen joked. Toronto -- 2-7-5 and ninth in the Eastern Conference -- faces a tough test at Houston. The Dynamo is 6-5-4 and fourth in the East and until a loss last month against Kansas City had gone a whopping 36 straight games at home without a loss. Toronto may be better prepared for the weather Saturday. Last year in Houston, Toronto let a 3-1 halftime lead disappear as they wilted in the 29 C heat that with the humidity felt closer to 39 C. The game ended 3-3. Saturdays temperature is expected to be about 34 C. The team practised in the hot sun at their training base in Downsview on Friday afternoon, with the temperature reaching about 26 C. "Guys like the heat. The hotter the better. More fun," Nelsen said -- but added Houston could still have an advantage. "I think (the Dynamo) are just used to it, so whether its freezing cold or boiling hot, you get used to the climate in those conditions, used to how the ball bounces, run of the green and all that fun stuff. Any homefield advantage is an advantage." ' ' '
