Cricket

All I know about cricket is you can hit the ball behind you and that is not a bad thing, the matches sometimes last forever and they run back and forth between two sticks in the ground a lot. Given this lack of knowledge, in reading the sports page today, I am unsure if the below is missing words, and, whether it does or not, I have no idea what I have just read.

“Younis Khan and Yousuf Youhana slammed unbeaten centuries to lead Pakistan’s spirited reply in the second test match against India in Calcutta. Khan’s attacking 108 not out and his 203-run third-wicket partnership with Youhana, who was unbeaten on 101, boosted Pakistan to 273 for two in reply to India’s first-inning score of 407.” - Associated Press
