Daly Cherry-Evans has lashed out at the heavy media scrutiny of former NRL teammate Kieran Foran.Parramatta halfback Foran has been stripped of the Eels captaincy while he recovers from a season-ending shoulder injury.It is believed the former Manly star was also handed a breach notice and fined $5000 by the Eels for failing to fulfil his club obligations, including rehabilitation of his injury.Sea Eagles halfback Cherry-Evans revealed he had recently been in touch with his 2011 premiership-winning teammate, who attended a Brisbane rehab clinic to address personal issues earlier this year.But he refused to discuss how Foran is coping with his off-field struggles.How hes going and how hes dealing with everything should be left behind closed doors and not situations like this, he told reporters at the Sea Eagles base in Narrabeen on Thursday.Pressed on whether losing the captaincy was harsh for Foran, the Manly No.7 said: I think its harsh that youre still continuing to talk about it publicly.Hes going through a lot of stuff on a personal level and the fact that people still feel the right to involve it on a media level is quite disappointing, to be honest.Manly captain Jamie Lyon said he has also seen Foran and that the Eels halfback is going OK.You dont like seeing players struggled like that. If he needed help, Id definitely be there to help him. He done a lot for this club and hes a great bloke.Ive bumped into him once or twice. I think hes going OK.Foran, 25, signed a two-year deal, with the option of a further two seasons, with the Eels over the summer and played nine games before hurting his shoulder in a two-point win over Newcastle last month.

First off, the fans ripped the Cubbies introduction of a fuzzy new kid-friendly mascot named "Clark". A stroll through Younis Khans recent statistics in Test cricket suggested nothing had changed. He had amassed a double-hundred in his last match. Now he had made a century. He had been scratchy early on, but was sublime by the end and Pakistan once again were in a position to dictate terms.Except between his 218 against England in London and 127 against West Indies in Abu Dhabi, there were two months time away from the game. In September, he had contracted dengue fever, a mosquito-borne disease that leaves the body weak and fatigued. I lost six-seven kilograms, he said at the post-match press conference at Sheikh Zayed Stadium. But now Im working on my weight and my fitness, so I will be 100% soon.Younis was not in shape to play the series opener in Dubai, which had also been Pakistan 400th Test, not to mention their first day-night Test. And coming into the second Test, he had to contend with a lack of match practice.I was a little worried because after the Oval Test [I had not played anything], Younis said. I wanted to play a couple of domestic games, which is always good for you. No matter how much you practice in the nets, you need game time.His illness did not allow that luxury. But I got to play three or four matches for my club on cement wickets, Younis said. They werent tough conditions, but Im glad I played. Karachi was very hot at the time, and I struggled in the first match. But playing those three-four matches really helped me.ddddddddddddHaving come to the crease in the 14th over, Younis had looked set to bat out the days play when he slog swept an innocuous looking offbreak from part-timer Kraigg Brathwaite straight into the hands of deep midwicket. Before the next batsman could take guard, the umpires called for stumps citing bad light and Pakistan went in at 304 for 4.After making his 33rd Test hundred, Younis credited his doctors, saying they helped me recover quickly because usually, you dont have any energy for one month after dengue. I think they took care of me very well, and thats why Im here right now.During the course of a 175-run stand, Younis and Misbah-ul-Haq became the owners of Pakistans most prolific partnership in Test cricket. When asked what the secret to their success was, he said: I dont know… theres no secret. Maybe were the seniors, we have the responsibility to carry the batting line-up, although we have very nice and fantastic youngsters in the team, the responsibility is always there for us. So whenever we play together, we know that [getting] 200-300 is important for our team.Everybody knows that we like to take our time, and then suddenly [we go] after the spinners and sometimes against fast bowlers as well. So I think theres no secret, its all about mental preparations. ' ' '
