Malaysia came up with a dominating performance to outwit India 2-1 in the men’s final of the Asian team squash championships here on Saturday. India had lost in the summit clash before in 1981 and 2012 also.
It was a double for Malaysia, with its women’s team defeating Hong Kong 2-1 in the final.
The last time Malaysian men’s and women’s teams won was in the 2008 championships in Kuwait.

When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
