Winger Drew Mitchell scored four tries as the New South Wales Waratahs celebrated captain Phil Waugh's record-breaking appearance with a 73-12 victory over the Golden Lions in rugby union's Super 14. Waugh made his 119th appearance for NSW, passing former scrum-half Chris Whitaker's mark.

Pakistan, the defending champions, yesterday announced their 15-man squad for cricket's World Twenty20, which begins next month in the West Indies. Shahid Afridi, Umar Akmal and Kamran Akmal were all included, but Ijaz Butt, the PCB chairman, is yet to select a captain for the team.
