    Masood Jan was BLIND !

    In New Delhi, Pakistani batsman Masood Jan scored a record 262 in the seven-nation tournament of blind cricketers being held in New Delhi, organizers said. It was the first double century in the history of blind cricket, and came as Pakistan defeated South Africa by 63 runs in an early round match. A double century is also a rare feat in sighted cricket.
