In Italy, where the European Championships of the under-13 cricket tournament is taking place, the Israeli team beat the heavily favored Germans by 36 runs yesterday, continuing an astonishing string of successes.
The Germans, a mainly Pakistani born team whose players are physically much more imposing than the young Israelis, were on the receiving end of another Israeli command performance. While the whole squad deserves kudos, the two spin bowlers, Ronen Wasker and Raz Ben-Zakan stood out once again. They are not only extremely talented, but both possess the fine temperament that is so important for sportsmen.
