Mitchell Starc has the talent to take 300 Test wickets, but only if his fitness and workload can be properly managed across all three formats, according to Australias coach Darren Lehmann.Starc missed the second half of Australias Test summer and the World Twenty20 in India due to his recovery from ankle surgery, and made his international comeback in the recent one-day tri-series in the Caribbean. He is set to resume as Australias Test spearhead against Sri Lanka this month and Lehmann said juggling Starc through all forms of the game would continue to be key for Australia.If he stays on the park, he could [take 300 wickets], Lehmann told the Age. He plays all formats - that is the hardest part for him, managing him through that is going to be our challenge as a coaching staff and selection panel, making sure high-priority Test tours, one-day tours, World Cups and all that, are going to be high on the agenda, and making sure he is fit and available for those.He has had a big lay-off. For him to come back and then do what he did [in the West Indies], as always, he gets wickets ... for us it was a pretty good tick-the-box exercise where he got through and looking forward to the next phase of Test cricket.The Sri Lankan pitches will likely favour spin and reverse swing, and Starcs ability to get the older ball moving could be important. Lehmann said Starcs speed and swing would be key assets in Sri Lanka, a view shared by South African fast bowler Allan Donald, who is acting as Australias bowling coach for the Sri Lanka tour.Starcs the one, without a shadow of doubt, Donald told Cricket Australia. Hes a 150 (kph) bowler, hes done it in the World Cup and in Twenty20 cricket. Ive seen him destroy top orders, middle orders, lower orders doing that same thing from both sides. Thats where he is at, and thats why he is the leading fast bowler in the world right now.Australia have a two-day intra-squad practice game in Sri Lanka this week, followed by a first-class tour game ahead of the opening Test in Pallekele, beginning on July 26. Sale Patriots Jerseys Store . -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked his players a simple question during Fridays morning shootaround: How many of them had ever been on a team 14 games over . Kevin Faulk Jersey . On June 12, just as the sun sets on the magnificent historical city of Sao Paulo the inventors, innovators and purveyors of “joga bonitowill” open their campaign.

That left plenty of energy for pitching books and swatting away free agency questions. Anthony had 24 points and nine rebounds, and the Knicks avenged an embarrassing home loss with a rout of their own, beating the Boston Celtics 114-88 on Wednesday night for their third straight victory. Phillip Dorsett Jersey . -- Most satisfying to Russ Smith about No. Red Patriots Jerseys . Francis told several hundred members of the European Olympic Committees that when sport "is considered only in economic terms and consequently for victory at every cost . LUBBOCK, Texas -- Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury isnt taking Louisiana Tech lightly, knowing that the Bulldogs lost their last two games against Power 5 teams by a combined seven points.The Red Raiders are coming off a dismal defensive performance in their 68-55 loss at Arizona State. They gave up eight TDs to Sun Devils running back Kalen Ballage, who tied the NCAA record for most scores in a game, and 652 yards of total offense.The game Saturday night gives Texas Techs defense a shot at redemption.Were disappointed in how we played defensively, but I believe in those guys, Kingsbury said. We got to improve it, no question.It was the third loss in its last 12 games when scoring at least 53 points.The Bulldogs (1-1) beat South Carolina State 53-24, a week after falling 21-20 at now-No. 24 Arkansas. Last year, they lost 39-33 in triple overtime at Kansas State.This Saturday night Louisiana Tech will need a high level of play to be competitive, Bulldogs coach Skip Holtz said.Hopefully, some of our younger players were able to cut their teeth at Arkansas on the road and that will help us a little bit where maybe we are not so big-eyed going into this stadium and playing this game, he said.The last time Texas Tech (1-1) lost two of its first three games was 1999.A few more things to look for when Texas Tech hosts Louisiana Tech:MAHOMES MAGICTexas Tech QB Patrick Mahomes could have trouble reaching the numbers hes gotten in back-to-back games. The Bulldogs are giving up just 295 total yards (31st in the nation). Mahomes, who leads the nation in total offense (562 yards per game), tallied 540 total yards in the win over Stephen F. Austin and 584 in the loss at Arizona State. They will change up looks pretty much week-to-week, and they play hard, Kingssbury said.dddddddddddd Theyre aggressive, theyre well coached and dont make many mistakes.DEFENSIVE DILEMMATexas Techs defense has struggled for years. The Red Raiders, who finished last season at 126th in the nation (547.7 yards per game), have moved up a little. They rank 117th now (511 ypg). In their win last week the Bulldogs amassed 727 total yards. I think statistically you look at the game and it was impressive, but I did not think it was very clean, Holtz said.BULLDOGS EDGE?The Bulldogs offense could have an edge on understanding Texas Techs defense. Former Texas Tech cornerbacks coach Kevin Curtis will be on the Louisiana Tech sideline in the same role. Curtis was fired from Texas Tech in November 2015 after working with defensive coordinator David Gibbs for a season and as the defense continued to struggle. He joined the Bulldogs staff in January.RECEIVING RICHESTexas Tech has five receivers with more than 100 yards in catches through two games. The leader, Cameron Batson, has two TDs and 172 yards on 12 catches. Its something that he worked on all off-season and he took his game to the next level and its showing on the field, Mahomes said.BULLDOGS QBsRyan Higgins returned last week after a one-game suspension for an off-season DWI and threw for four TDs and 409 yards. In his stead, freshman JMar Smith almost led the Bulldogs to a win over the Razorbacks in the season opener, when he completed 19 of 31 passes for 212 yards and a rushing touchdown. One thing that jumped out to me was for a young kid how poised he was in that atmosphere, Kingsbury said.---AP College Football site: http://collegefootball.ap.org Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' ' |
