Beitrag one in West Indies Test cricket.
Charley Hull won the CME Tour Championship on Sunday. While Ariya Jutanugarn nabbed the Rolex Player of the Year honor, and a nice $1 million bonus for winning the Race to the CME Globe on the final day of the 2016 LPGA season.And while both Hull and Jutanugarn are likely reveling in their accomplishments, every LPGA player is probably feeling like a winner on the first day of their (all too brief) offseason.So ... just what are some of the players doing?Im glad you asked.Christina Kim did what many of us would do with some free time -- watched an animal video online. Obviously.My offseason is off and running! I just spent ten minutes watching a video of a cat on catnip.- Christina Kim (@TheChristinaKim) November 21, 2016Brooke Pancake took advantage of her black card at the Waffle House -- the restaurant chain that she and her perfectly ironic name endorse.Its official yall!

Stay tuned today :)))A photo posted by @thesandragal onNov 21, 2016 at 8:15am PSTEnjoy your downtime, ladies! Youve earned it.See something entertaining on social media that you think deserves to be shared? Let me know on Twitter, @darcymaine_espn. Zach LaVine Jersey . But Bourque, who has missed three games with a lower-body injury, wont be in the lineup when the Habs travel to Buffalo to take on the Sabres on Wednesday. Kevin Garnett Jersey . He was followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later. Clarksons actions one night earlier, leaping off the bench in defence of Kessel during a pre-season game against the Buffalo Sabres, will cost him the first 10 games of the regular season. http://www.thetimberwolvesteamshop.com/zach-lavine-timberwolves-jersey/ . Catch all the action on TSN2 at 11pm et/8pm pt. The nine-time Big 12 champion Jayhawks are positioning themselves for another title, as they have run out to a flawless 6-0 mark in conference play thus far. Tayshaun Prince Jersey . One game after a miserable showing in Oklahoma City, Gay tied a career high with 41 points and the Sacramento Kings cruised to a 114-97 victory at the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. Authentic Karl-Anthony Towns Jersey . With the first unit struggling of late and Amir Johnson - one of the teams iron men - hobbling on an injured right ankle, Patterson knew he could get the nod in a challenging matchup against one of the leagues up and coming players at his position. Shortly before joining his team-mates for his first day of training as a member of West Indies Test squad, Alzarri Joseph was made to climb a staircase at Sabina Parks North Stand. From somewhere near the middle of the ground, the WICBs media manager trained a 300mm lens on him. He took a few backward steps, eye glued to viewfinder, and stopped moving only when the framing was just right: Joseph on top of the staircase, hands on balustrade, and below him a sign saying Courtney Walsh End.No pressure, young man.Walsh bowled 30,019 balls in Test cricket, the most by any fast bowler, ever. Joseph is yet to play Test cricket, of course, and has only bowled 949 balls in first-class cricket. He is only 19.The cricketing world has seen what Joseph can do in short bursts. At the Under-19 World Cup, he sent the leg stump of Zimbabwes Brendan Sly flying with the fastest ball of the tournament, measured at 143kph, and, in the semi-final, showed he could be just as nasty at the other end of the length spectrum, roughing up the Bangladesh opener Pinak Ghosh with a series of bouncers, one of which clattered into the side of his helmet.Can Joseph sustain that pace, and that intensity, into his third spell of a sweltering day, the way Walsh did time after time in a 16-year Test career? Will West Indies pick Joseph for the second Test against India, and give the cricketing world the opportunity of finding out?Marlon Samuels will not make that decision, but he made his thoughts as clear as possible when he spoke to the media on Thursday.Me? I would definitely play him, he said. Fit, fast and fearless. When are you going to play him? At 25? Hes 19 now, its the best time to just let him go and enjoy himself and express himself.Conditions at Sabina Park might just allow Joseph - or any combination of fast bowlers West Indies pick - to do that. Two days before the Test match, the pitch wore a thick coat of grass. At 10.45am, when the white sheet covering it first came off to allow the umpires to look at it, it was a bright, almost neon green. In the afternoon, when the West Indian players arrived at the ground, and sang Happy Birthday to Sir Garfield Sobers on his 80th, it was still green, but not alarmingly so.Nothing had happened to the pitch in the interim. Perhaps it looked less green because the shock of first seeing it had worn off; perhaps it was just the sun sucking away the mornings moisture. It was just a different shade of green.By the time the Test match commences, the grass might lose a few millimeters, and some of it might get rolled into the surface, but much of it will probably remain in place.ddddddddddddBehind the western square boundary is the Kingston Cricket Clubs pavilion, and mounted on the roof beams of the members bar are plaques commemorating every batsman to have scored centuries in both innings of Test matches. If the pitch for this Test match plays true to its appearance, it will take some effort for anyone to join Clyde Walcott and Lawrence Rowe in achieving that feat at Sabina Park.But batsmen, according to the groundsman Charlie Joseph, will enjoy true bounce, at least on the first two days.Mikey [Michael Holding] always used to tell me, you need bounce on the first two days, Charlie Joseph said. What happens on the third and fourth day, thats not up to you. Thats nature. But you want true bounce on the first two days. You want to put your foot here, he says, planting left foot firmly forward, and do that - a shadow cover drive, on the up. Thats good cricket.We will only know for certain on Saturday, but conditions could cause both teams to alter the strategies they employed in Antigua. West Indies are chasing the series, and a green pitch gives them as good a chance as theyll probably get to bowl India out twice. A green pitch could also narrow the gap between the bowling attacks, but West Indies will need to do some of that narrowing themselves. That will mean picking Joseph, or Miguel Cummins, or both, to partner Shannon Gabriel and give the pace attack more bite.India played five bowlers in Antigua, on a slow pitch that offered bounce but little sideways movement. Here, four bowlers could do the job, with the legspin of Amit Mishra potentially surplus to requirements. This could allow them the security of an extra batsman. With only four players - Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, KL Rahul and Bhuvneshwar Kumar - turning up for an optional session on Thursday, India did not reveal any of their cards. By Friday, a clearer picture should emerge.Whichever way the teams go, they will probably need to contend with a green track. Kent Crafton, the WICBs regional curator, who is overseeing the preparation of all the pitches for this series, said the board has made a concerted push to prepare quicker, bouncier pitches. We want to get it back up here, he said, bringing his hands up to chest level.Going by the bounce seen in Antigua, and the look of the pitch in Kingston, the efforts seem to be paying off. Its a positive sign, a rare one in West Indies Test cricket. Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
