Michael Lumb believes Alex Hales will be out to silence his critics when Nottinghamshire take on Yorkshire in the Specsavers County Championship this weekend, live on Sky Sports. Hales, who has impressed at international level in limited-overs cricket, was given his chance in the Test arena for Englands tour of South Africa over the winter and while Alastair Cooks side emerged victorious, the Nottinghamshire batsman struggled.However, Lumb, a team-mate of Hales at Trent Bridge, is confident the 27-year-old has what it takes to succeed at Test level and is backing him to provide a reminder of his ability in the build up to Englands first Test of the summer against Sri Lanka next month. Hes been great, he came to Old Trafford [during Nottinghamshires Championship game with Lancashire] for a couple of days and had a couple of hits so I know hes looking forward to getting going and silencing some of the critics he had over the winter, Lumb told Sky Sports.He is raring to go and wanting to show the critics and other people that hes world class and hell be working hard to keep his place in the Test team and play the first game. Its great to have him back. Hales struggled at the top of the order for England in South Africa Hales wont be the only England player in the Nottinghamshire ranks for the game with Yorkshire. Stuart Broad is also set to play for Mick Newells side and Lumb feels his presence is a significant boost.Its huge, hes the No 1 Test bowler in the world and having him in the side is awesome, he said. He helps out the younger bowlers and hes a leading influence in the field so to have him in these opening games, hopefully he can find some form and help us to win some games as well.One of those younger bowlers sure to benefit from playing alongside the England seamer is Jake Ball. The 25-year-old has enjoyed a fine start to the season and Lumb has high hopes for the England Lions quick.Jakes had a great start, said the 36-year-old. He had a good winter with the Lions, I think he impressed with them, and hes come back and got out of the blocks really well.Hes put on a bit of pace, hes bowling quick and hes a good lad. Theres big things for him in the future, hes started really well and hopefully thatll continue for a while. Jake Ball has started the season well for Nottinghamshire However, while Ball has begun the season in fine style, it has been an indifferent beginning to the 2016 campaign for Notts as a whole - victory over Surrey was followed by defeat at newly-promoted Lancashire. Lumb though, is not overly concerned.Obviously, we got out of the blocks really well, winning the first game, we played some good cricket and then unfortunately we went to Lancashire and got outplayed there, he admitted.It just shows the rollercoaster of Championship cricket, we were on a bit of a high and then you go and get beaten. Theres stuff that we can still work on, which is good.Everyone says the same things early on: We want to win the Championship and this and that but I think this year were more about just doing our little process, getting our basics right and if we look after those things hopefully results will come for us in the end.Division One is very strong, there are some strong sides knocking around and so, for us, its just taking each game as it comes and as long as we stick to our basics and our game plans then hopefully thatll take care of itself. Michael Lumb admits Notts were outplayed by Lancashire in their last outing The forthcoming game with Yorkshire, perhaps more than most, shows the strength of the top flight this season with both teams boasting numerous players who have performed well consistently in recent years and thats before you even get to England regulars such as Broad, Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root, all of whom are expected to play.You look at the two sides on paper and its almost like a Test match so the boys are up for it, said Lumb, who spent the early part of his career at Headingley.All the pressures on Yorkshire and were just trying to knock them off. Its exciting to be part of and thats what you want in these County Championship games, strong games, strong competitions. Were up for it, theyll be favourites, well just go out and enjoy the game and try and get one over on them.You can watch Nottinghamshire take on Yorkshire in County Championship Division One live on Sky Sports 2 HD.

But when it comes to determining if Raymond will find a place on the Leafs roster when training camp concludes in a week, well, that decision will ultimately fall to the head coach. RICHMOND, Va. -- Rebuilding or not, Georgia Tech did not want to head into a 10-day layoff for finals coming off a winless three-game road trip.They wont, thanks to Josh Heath, who hit a tie-breaking 12-foot jumper in overtime, and fellow guard Tadric Jackson, who bounced back from one of his worst games with one of his best as the Yellow Jackets beat VCU 76-73 in overtime Wednesday night.To get a win like this in a rebuilding situation when youre starting from Ground Zero is a heck of a win, first-year coach Josh Pastner said after his team, of the Atlantic Coast Conference, handed the Rams of the Atlantic 10 just their 13th loss in the last 87 home games.Weve just got to make sure we take this win and build on it and continue to get better, Pastner said.Jackson scored 19 of his 24 points after halftime for the Yellow Jackets (5-3), who are heading into a break for finals. They won despite turning the ball over 20 times and getting just three points from freshman scoring sensation Josh Okogie, who played 16 minutes.He didnt play as well, but hes a freshman and thats part of the growth, Pastner said.Ben Lammers had 18 points, eight rebounds and four blocks for the Yellow Jackets.Justin Tillman had 26 points and nine rebounds and JeQuan Lewis scored 16 for the Rams (6-3), who lost their second straight.The Rams closed regulation with a 7-2 run, forcing overtime when Tillman scored with 54 seconds left and neither team could score again. In the overtime, Lewis scored for VCU, Jackson followed with a 3-pointer and Lewis hit one of two free throws with 1:50 remaining.Heaths jumper made it 75-73, and the Yellow Jackets missed 3 of 4 free throws in the closing minutes, but Doug Brooks missed a pair of 3-point tries for the Rams, and his shot at the buzzer hit off the backboard but wasnt close to going in.VCU coach Will Wade kept his team in the locker room for nearly 50 minutes after the final horn sounded.It felt llike in spurts we played really hard and we fought, but the majority of the game we were on our heels, said Lewis, who had seven assists, but also seven of the Rams 21 turnovers.dddddddddddd Its unacceptable. You cant beat an ACC team like that.BIG PICTUREGeorgia Tech: The Yellow Jackets are one of the youngest teams in terms of experience in Division I, and should only get better as the season wears on. They led VCU 36-28 at halftime despite getting nothing but two quick fouls from Okogie (he arrived averaging 17 points) in the half, blocked four shots and altered countless others, taking away VCUs willingness to drive for some lengthy stretches.VCU: The Rams are at their best when they play fast, but under control, and that fine line is not one they have figured out how to navigate yet. Lewis can be dazzling at full throttle, but can only run himself into situations that lead to ill-advised passes or terrible shots, and the frenetic pace the Rams often rely on to create the havoc that was their hallmark can now hurt them as much as it helps them.HEAVE HOGeorgia Techs Corey Heyward swished about a 65-foot shot at the buzzer of the first half, giving Tech the 36-28 lead. The shot came after the ball was inbounded with 00.6 showing on the clock. We won by three points. Thats probably the difference, Pastner said, noting that the team ends each practice by having to make a halfcourt shot, and that it took them about 8 minutes to do it Wednesday.UP NEXTGeorgia Tech takes a 10-day break before welcoming Alcorn State to start a five-game homestand on Dec. 18.VCU goes on the road Saturday to play Old Dominion, its archrival from its days in the Colonial Athletic Association.---More AP college basketball:
