Haseeb v PaceHaseeb Hameed got a reprieve in the first innings when Vijay grassed an edge at first slip. Khyri Thomas Pistons Jersey . Umesh Yadavs delivery was on a fifth-stump and a three-quarters length, a spot where youre not sure whether to go forward or back, and thats where Haseeb was found wanting too. In the first innings, he tried to go back and, in the second innings, to an identical delivery from Shami (over 40.1) he tried to go forward, albeit to an older ball. On both occasions the ball found the outside edge. Indias seamers will doubtless target the same line and length more often in the series.Standing outside off for Ashwin, standing on leg stump for Jadeja Haseeb stood on a leg-stump line for Ravindra Jadeja and tried to play most of his deliveries off the back foot. Since the balls pitching within the stumps didnt turned appreciably throughout the match, the ones that stayed straight after pitching posed the bigger threat against Jadeja. To counter that, Haseeb preferred to play back as a default tactic. Against R Ashwin, however, he stayed on an off-stump line and went forward to most deliveries, which took lbw out of the equation by ensuring the impact was always outside off. It was a good tactic on this pitch in Rajkot.Cook sans the drive For a spinner, the best way to succeed on these pitches is to pitch the ball full and bring the batsman onto the front foot as often as possible. Indias spinners, brought up on these surfaces, have known the right length like the back of their hands and havent been afraid of bowling the full length. Common sense would tell you that, if a batsman were to succeed against them, he must drive the ball well. But have a look at Cooks wagon wheel against spin and itll tell you how wrong our assumption is. He hardly ever drove the ball through the off-side, irrespective of which way the ball was turning after pitching. Bouncers In this Test, Indias seamers not only bowled the fastest balls but, also, their average speeds were higher than their English counterparts. Since Indias batsmen got hit a few times on the helmet, it was expected that their own seamers would return the favour too. While they did try a few bouncers to Alastair Cook, they didnt try it even once to Hameed. In fact, there was only one attempted bouncer to Hameed out of the 259 deliveries he received in the course of the match.Why have the field for the bad balls? Cook delayed Englands declaration to rule out an India win. Having lots of runs on the board allowed the captain to have an attacking field throughout, and thats where Cooks captaincy left a bit to be desired. For Zafar Ansari and Adil Rashid, Cook had a deep midwicket and a fielder at sweeper-cover on the fence while Pujara and Vijay were batting. Why have so many runs on the board if youre reluctant to put more fielders in catching positions? Dennis Rodman Pistons Jersey .

THOMAS, U.S. Virgin Islands -- Marcus Foster admits that No. 12 Creighton really hasnt faced a tough test yet, even after beating No. 9 Wisconsin a week ago.But the Bluejays got such a test Monday night, getting pushed to the limit by Mississippi before coming away with a 86-77 victory in the championship game of the Paradise Jam tournament.Foster scored 25 points, and three other players finished in double figures for Creighton (5-0), which climbed 10 places in the AP Top 25 rankings released earlier Monday.This team is very tight, and were very close, said Foster, the tournaments MVP.

At halftime, we talked and came closer as a family. We have to stick together when we face adversity. We havent faced adversity all season, but we did tonight.Creighton began its rally at that point, whittling down the Rebels lead until tying the score twice, the last at 74-74 with 5:45 left. Thomas then put the Bluejays ahead to stay with his three-point play with 3:40 remaining.That ignited a 12-3 Creighton run to close out the game, capped by a pair of free throws from Thomas with 40 seconds left.It was their offensive rebounding, Creighton coach Greg McDermott said. You cant run if you dont get a rebound. They were so physical on the glass . and we cant play with any pace if that happens. But we stuck with it, and the guys stuck together. Defensively and in rebounding, we stepped up when we had to.. Reggie Jackson Jersey.
