Chris Wood is desperate to perform well for England in this weeks World Cup and get a few people off his back. Lonzo Ball Swingman Jersey .Wood has come in for criticism in some quarters after selecting Andy Sullivan as his partner in Melbourne, despite Ryder Cup team-mate Lee Westwood being set to make the trip.Westwood had been due to make his debut in the event after being chosen by Masters champion Danny Willett, but with Willett pulling out to protect a back injury, Wood took his place as the next highest eligible player in the world rankings.Under tournament rules, Wood was also able to select his partner and opted for Sullivan after the pair bonded during their Ryder Cup debuts at Hazeltine.Speaking after a closing 65 in the DP World Tour Championship, Wood said: Its as good as Ive played on a Sunday for a while so its nice to get a bit of form going into the World Cup, get a few people off my back.Dannys the one that pulled out. They know fine well the situation. Ive got so much respect for Lee as a golfer but I just feel as a team I will gel a little better with Sully.I went down the rankings, I did it in as fair a way as I could. There wasnt this much fuss when Danny jumped myself, Tyrrell [Hatton, Fitzy [Matt Fitzpatrick] and Sully to go to Lee.I totally understand Lees frustration, youre ready to go, but myself and Sully are hungry to go and play and surely thats what you want.We played the first practice day at Hazeltine together, me, him, Sergio [Garcia] and Rory [McIlroy], and we really gelled that week.We both played one foursomes and the singles and were in courtesy cars a lot together. We got a bit closer that week and have chatted about our Ryder Cup experience among ourselves and were motivated to go and win it next week.Whatever happens at Kingston Heath is at least certain to be more enjoyable than Woods previous visit to the course in Melbourne.I played about four holes when I was in the England squad as an amateur and got stung in the eye by a bee and had to come off, added Wood, who coincidentally had Willett as one of his team-mates on the trip.For me those sort of courses are as good as it gets, Im so excited to get down there and play it. Its almost like a US Open-style, you play aggressive to certain areas but you can putt it off greens and put yourself in position Z. Lonzo Ball Jersey .

Datsyuk will miss Tuesdays game against New Jersey and could be sidelined longer, while Cleary will likely miss at least the next three games. Its been an injury-plagued season for Datsyuk, who has suited up for just 39 games.http://www.lakersteamofficial.com/Lonzo-Ball-Lakers-Jersey/ .C. - The Carolina Hurricanes have placed backup goalie Anton Khudobin on injured reserve with an unspecified lower-body injury. MS Dhoni, 2013 Champions Trophy final Good captaincy is usually about keeping a cool head and making sensible decisions. But occasionally its about impetuosity and taking completely illogical risks.During the 2013 Champions Trophy final, MS Dhoni chose the latter route. Rain had turned the match into a T20, which made each ball that much more important. Chasing Indias mediocre 129 for 7, England limped to 46 for 4 in nine overs. Then Ravi Bopara and Eoin Morgan took 20 off two wayward Ishant Sharma overs to wrest back the impetus. So it went, until the chase dwindled to 28 needed off 18.As the tournament reached its denouement, Dhoni took a look around and, to everyones surprise, brought back Ishant. It looked to be a brain fade when Morgan hit his second ball for six and Ishant responded with two wides. Then, from nothing, Morgan chipped a slower, wider ball straight to midwicket, and Bopara smacked the very next ball to the same fielder at square leg. Fifteen minutes later, India had won by five runs and Dhoni wore a smile as wide as the Lords pavilion.Donald Bradman, Australia v England, 1937 If Dhonis mind was made up in a hot-blooded instant, Sir Donald spent hours cooking up this decision, his mind a simmer of Machiavellian mischievousness.Two down to the old enemy and facing growing dissent over his leadership, Bradman needed a result in Melbourne. Australia batted first and reached 181 for 6 before the heavens opened. The following day, the uncovered pitch behaved appallingly. Australia lost their last four wickets cheaply.England fared worse, much to the horror of Bradman, who realised he would be out batting again far too soon. He pulled his fielders back to the boundary, but to no avail. Less than 30 overs later, England declared on 76 for 9 and Australia were batting again, on a pitch that remained unpredictable.Bradmans solution? Turn the batting order upside down. His bowlers survived through the end of the second day, the pitch dried out over the rest day, and when the captain strode out at seven, he shared a stand of 346 with Jack Fingleton. Australia won by 365 runs, and took the series 3-2.Mark Taylor, England v Australia, 1997 Bradmans detractors berated him for hiding down the order. Sixty years later, no such accusations were levelled at another Aussie captain, Mark Taylor.Before the Ashes, Taylors captaincy was in jeopardy, thanks to a terrible run of form and an English whitewash in the preceding ODIs. He made a brave century in defeat in the first Test, but failed in both his other innings. Arriving for the third game, at Old Trafford, Australia were 1-0 down and the Manchester pitch green and soggy. Lonzo Ball Lakers Jersey. As an out-of-touch opener, Taylor must have been sorely tempted to stick England in when he won the toss. Instead, he knew the hosts would struggle against Shane Warne in the fourth innings. He chose to bat, was immediately hit on the head by debutant Dean Headley, and then departed for 2.He lasted just three balls in the second innings as his personal torment continued, but twin centuries from Steve Waugh and nine wickets for Warne led Australia to a comfortable win, and some sort of personal redemption for the captain.Michael Clarke, West Indies v Australia, 2012 Momentum. The big mo. One of the least understood phenomena in sport, so easy to lose and so difficult to win back. Michael Clarke knew this. His first year in charge of a transitional Australian side saw him rack up a string of stellar individual scores, but against West Indies his flair for captaincy came to the fore.For the first half of the first Test, the hosts were dominant, putting on 449 and reducing Australia to 285 for 8. Then the visitors tail began to wag, and Ryan Harris and Nathan Lyon were galloping towards parity, before the captain suddenly called them in, with Australia still 43 behind.Yet Clarke sensed that the tide in the match was turning, and judged that quick wickets were more valuable than a small lead. And so it proved: Ben Hilfenhaus took three in six balls and West Indies were sunk.Michael Vaughan, England v Australia, 2005 Woe betide any captain who believes his work begins when sides take the field. The bedrock of Englands bewildering, stars-are-aligned Ashes win of 2005 were the bowling plans set up by Michael Vaughan and Duncan Fletcher for the Australian top order. And at Edgbaston, the finest Test of crickets best series, England struck a mortal blow. Matthew Hayden, Australias hard-driving bully, never recovered from being snared in one of Vaughans traps.England had responded to a heavy defeat at Lords by bludgeoning Australias Glenn McGrath-less attack for 407 in less than 80 overs. Then, as they strode out to field, Vaughan reminded Andrew Strauss to field at an unorthodox short extra cover position to dissuade Hayden from driving. Facing his first ball from Matthew Hoggard, fullish and wide, Hayden found he couldnt resist and the ball flew unerringly into Strauss hands. The rest was history and MBEs.
