Adelaide key forward Josh Jenkins has overcome an ankle injury and will play against Sydney in Saturday nights AFL semi-final, Crows coach Don Pyke says. Zach Britton Jersey.Jenkins, who hurt an ankle in Adelaides elimination final win last weekend, convinced Pyke of his fitness at Wednesdays training.He trained today and he did what he needed to do so hell be fine, Pyke told reporters.Jenkins was Adelaides sole injury concern entering the away final against the Swans at the SCG.Pyke said he had noted a mature response by his players to Saturdays elimination final triumph against North Melbourne.The Crows also won an elimination final last season before falling to a heavy semi-final defeat to eventual premiers Hawthorn.Its fair to say last year after the first final win, the feeling I got talking to some of the coaches and players, was there was this euphoric state about a great win, said Pyke, who joined the Crows this season as head coach.And that probably didnt help them get ready for the second week of the finals.But I think this year, we have been far more measured in terms of we moved on pretty quickly. I thought their response post-game was pretty mature, to be honest.They recognised it was a good win, but its a win that gets you to week two of the finals. And that was the sort of response I was expecting of them.It wasnt one of euphoria ... its like we have won it, we move on and now were getting ready clearly for Sydney.Pyke expected to confront a charged-up Swans, who lost their qualifying final against Greater Western Sydney, but said he would be disappointed if Adelaide couldnt match Sydneys ferocity.I spoke to our players this morning about that, he said.I would be really disappointed if we werent able to match their intensity and effort based on them coming off a loss and us coming off a win.We have got as much to play for as Sydney do. We played some good footy last week and have played good footy all year so our responsibility is to bring the same attitude and effort as we brought last week. Jonathan Schoop Jersey. Louis Blues teammates who would also be participating in the Olympics, Alex Pietrangelo felt right at home, no different in some ways to the travel experience of any old road trip – save for the length of the journey, that is. Darren ODay Jersey. The Croatian served 21 aces and hit 42 winners against Sijsling, who double-faulted to give Cilic a 4-3 lead in the deciding set. "All the players, they know me and they were really happy to see me and they were really happy that this is over for me," Cilic said. http://www.theoriolesteamshop.com/Orioles-Manny-Machado-Kids-Jersey/. Fred Couples, captain of the U.S. side, put it all into perspective. "We know whos in charge," he said. Liam Dawson has admitted he is currently a better white than red-ball cricketer, but nevertheless hopes he can help England retain control in the field if he is selected for the Test team in India.Dawson confesses he was very surprised to be called-up to replace the injured Zafar Ansari in Englands Test squad in India. But, while he claimed a modest-looking 22 Championship wickets during the 2016 season, Dawson feels he fulfilled a valuable role for his Hampshire side and is confident he can replicate it with England.Specifically, despite bowling on surfaces that generally offered him little, he conceded only 2.85 runs per over and contributed over 600 runs with the bat at an average of 33.89. Combined with his experience of bowling under pressure in limited-overs cricket, Dawson feels he offers some control with the ball. Certainly Dawson is a much more accomplished bowler than the one that was carted for five sixes in succession (and off the first five balls of an over; the final one cost only a single) by Ben Stokes in a County Championship game in 2011.Id admit my white-ball cricket is a lot stronger than my red-ball cricket, Dawson said. But Ive played a lot of red-ball cricket and I feel Im still improving in that area. If I get the opportunity, hopefully Ill offer some control with the ball. Thats what I do with Hampshire. Thats all I can do if selected for England.I did all right in the Championship. I only played 12 games, due to the one-day series. People see my season as only getting 22 wickets and say it is very poor, but I did bowl well and I did give Hampshire control. Thats something hopefully I can do if I play in the Test match. Thats my job and thats been my job for the last three years at the Ageas Bowl: to score runs and bring control with the ball. Thats all I can do if I play.Dawson has been playing in the Bangladesh Premier League. He went to Bangladesh as part of the England limited-overs squad almost as soon as the domestic season finished and then stayed on to play for Rangpur Riders. He is, thereefore, match fit and has been playing regularly, but only in white ball cricket. Mark Trumbo Jersey. For that reason, England may be reluctant to draft him straight into the Test team in Mumbai - the fourth Test starts on December 8 - increasing the suspicion that England might play two spinners (Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid) and four seamers (with Stuart Broad, if fit, adding to the three who played in Mohali), though any firm decision will only be made once they have taken a look at the pitch. Dawson has also never played in India, though he has been on various training camps to the country and was in the World T20 squad earlier this year.My job is to offer control, but if the wicket is spinning keep landing it in the right area and hopefully the wicket does the rest, Dawson said. Theres no doubt the Indian batsmen are exceptional players. Its an amazing challenge for me and if I am to play itll be a huge honour.Dawson has a good chance of keeping his place in Englands limited-overs squad which is to be named on Monday night. Having made his debut in the T20I and ODI teams in July and September respectively, he can expect to be named in the squad for the games (three ODIs and three T20Is) in India in the new year.With Eoin Morgan returning as captain and Alex Hales as opening batsman, there are difficult decisions to make over a couple of other positions. Jonny Bairstow looks especially vulnerable, though James Vince, Sam Billings and Ben Duckett may be competing for one or two places. Joe Root, who was rested for the series in Bangladesh, is keen to play despite expecting his first child at the start of January. One or two of the all-rounders who feature in all formats of the game, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes and Ben Stokes, might also be rested.Meanwhile, it is anticipated that Haseeb Hameed will return to India in the coming days to watch the final two Tests as he recovers from the operation on his hand.

The BCCI is set to file a review petition against the Supreme Courts verdict that approved most of the Lodha Committees recommendations. Boston Bruins Gear . The decision to file the petition is based on the advice of former Supreme Court judge Markandey Katju, who was appointed to counsel the board on the verdict related to the implementation of the committees recommendations. It is also learnt BCCI president Anurag Thakur and secretary Ajay Shirke will not go through with their scheduled meeting with the Lodha Committee on Tuesday after Katju advised them against it.Our judicial review petition is pending. We will be going to file it [in the next two days]. Till the outcome is not there how can we go and attend the meeting? a top BCCI official told ESPNcricinfo. Justice Katju has clearly told us that you should go for the review petition. Members have also agreed [with his assessment]. We will look at the outcome of the review petition and take the necessary action. It is understood that with the parliamentary session in progress on Tuesday, Thakur, who is a Member of Parliament with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, will be unavailable to meet the Lodha Committee in any case. It is understood that Shirke wrote to the committee on Sunday night requesting that the meeting be deferred. The committee, however, declined the request.According to a legal expert, a review petition has to be filed within 30 days of the verdict, and it will be heard by the same bench of judges that passed the judgement, in this case Chief Justice of India TS Thakur.Review petitions are usually entertained when there is an error apparent. But here is a case where two judges have taken a very serious view of the matter; its not like they have passed a judgement after one hearing, the legal expert told ESPNcricinfo. The judges have taken a very specific view on the matter. The question of whether its wrong is not something the Supreme Court is going to go into. They are not going to re-examine those things.The expert said 99% of the petitions were dismissed in the chamber itself. [Review petitions come into the picture in] cases where very serious legal errors are committed, which the court may not have been aware of, the expert said.Some fact, for example, which for some reason the court didnt consider which completely alters the nature of the judgement. Its just sort of a thing which parties file mostly to prolong the matter as opposed to actually getting any relief.The point of having a Supreme Court is to ensure matters come to a conclusion and some final judgement is arrived at. Now if they will file a review petition it will go before CJI Thakur and some other judge who will be assigned to the matter.The expert felt that should Thakur and Shirke not meet with the Lodha Committee it might lead to contempt proceedings. There is an argument that can be made that the committees findings essentially merge with the Supreme Courts judgement, he said. Therefore, if they fail to abide by an order of the court then that could amount to contempt of the court.I am pretty sure if they dont meet them tomorrow then someone will file a contempt petition or the Supreme Court itself can also suo moto, take it upon themselves and say you should have appeared, or the Lodha Committee might write to the Supreme Court and say they havent appeared.A Lodha Committee source also confirmed that contempt proceedings would be initiated should Thakur and Shirke not turn up for the meeting.The BCCI official, however, suggested the board couldnt afford to worry about consequences considering that they were fighting for survival. This is all we can do, what else can we do, he said. We also have our fundamental rights.Katju, who submitted an interim report to the BCCI on Sunday, had also termed the courts order unconstitutional and illegal and said it had violated principles of the Indian Constitution.

TORONTO -- As the puck gently trickled over Finlands goal line for an empty-net tally with 2. Eddie Yarbrough Jersey .6 seconds remaining in regulation, Team Sweden goaltender Henrik Lundqvist raised his arms in celebration and gave a fist pump like no one was watching him.Truth be told: All eyes are on the 34-year-old netminder.This game, this 2-0 win symbolized more than just a World Cup of Hockey victory. So many questions have surrounded Lundqvist since the end of the 2015-16 NHL regular season. Many wondered if hes nearing the end of an incredible career. The offseason was unlike any he had experienced in the past. He spent it preparing for this best-on-best tournament in the hope that he could rejuvenate his career for the New York Rangers.Well, Lundqvist proved on Tuesday that he should still be considered a world-class goalie. He was outstanding in a 36-save, shutout performance over Finland.Obviously, it was an important game for me, Lundqvist said. You try to build your game, but at the same time, you have to make sure youre helping your team. Its an important game. You cant just go out there and try to feel good and start building your game. Its too late for that. I had two [preseason] games to do that, and now its for real. You just try to be really focused and do your best out there.During the last World Cup preseason game against Team Europe in Washington, D.C., Lundqvist struggled, allowing five goals on 22 shots before he was pulled midway through the third period. Even though it appeared to be a terrible performance, Lundqvist maintained afterward that he was able to accomplish a lot in that game to prepare for the tournament. It didnt help when he did not play the first official game against Russia on Sunday because he had the flu. Instead, backup Jacob Markstrom played and led Sweden to a 2-1 victory with a 27-save performance.Lundqvist participated in the teams full practice on Monday and said afterward that he would be ready for Finland. There was no way he would miss what could be his last chance to face Swedens rival in international competition. On Tuesday, he flashed the pads and dazzled with his glove en route to a victory over the Finns -- and Sweden improved to 2-0 in this tournament.He was just awesome out there,?Loui Eriksson?said. Made some really good saves for us. He looked like the Hank weve seen before. Great game. Important for us.Like his teammates, Lundqvist takes a lot of pride in playing for the national team. He has won Olympic gold (2006) and silver (2014) and hopes to lead his country to another international victory in this tournament.Thats why hes one of the top goalies in the world, said Sweden coach Rikard Gronborg. He played an excellent game and gave us a chance to win. We knew coming into the tournament hes a top goalie, a piece of the puzzle for us to advance. If we are going to advance in the tournament, he has to be on. He gives a certain kind of stability. As coaches we know we can count on him.Before the tournament, Finnish prospect Patrik Laine, who is considered a pure goal scorer with a laser-like shot, said it didnt matter which goalie was in the net because all he wants to do is score goals. He fired five shots at Lundqvist on Tuesday, but the veteran netminder stopped them all.We had many good scoring chances, but he was playing awesome in the net, so we couldnt score, Laine said. When you dont score any goals its hard to win a game. We were playing pretty well, but the right team won.Laines best scoring chance of the game came with 40.2 seconds remaining in the second period. Finland was on the power play when Laine unleased a one-timer from the top of the left faceoff circle. It was a precise shot to the top right corner, but Lundqvist snared it with a highlight-reel glove save.The puck was bouncing, so it was good I got a shot off from that pass, but I think I had a pretty good shot. Hes a good goalie and he got it and thats the deal, Laine said.Since Lundqvist is likely still not 100 percent, the question will be: Should he play on Wednesday against Team North America? Its not a throw-away game for Sweden. If it was, especially given the way Markstrom played on Sunday, then Lundqvist could be given the day off, but thats not the case now. Lundqvist needs to play. Itll be interesting to see how he responds to playing two games in less than 24 hours.Lundqvist said after Tuesdays game that he felt better both physically and mentally, and that he had more energy before the game than hed had the last few days because of the flu. Lundqvist admitted he felt a bit rusty in the first period against Finland but was able to settle in as the game progressed -- so yes, hell be ready to play against the high-powered young guns on Wednesday. Will he get to?I hope so. I havent talked to the coach yet, but I want to go, he said. Its an important game. Were not in [the semifinals] yet. But he makes the call.Plus, hell likely face a ton of shots given Team North Americas high-paced play so far.Were playing a team with a lot of skill, and they move the puck more side-to-side than maybe the Finns do, Lundqvist said. The Finns go pretty straight to the net and try to create rebounds and chances like that, so its going to be a great challenge for me and for the team tomorrow.No matter how this tournament ends for Sweden, if Lundqvist can continue to play like he did against Finland and build his game in preparation for his season with the Rangers, itll be interesting to see if he can regain his Vezina-worthy ability.Hes had a great career in the NHL, and hes a great goalie, said Finland goalie Tuukka Rask, who also played well and finished with 28 saves in the loss. Hes been at the top for many, many years, so hopefully I can do the same.Theres only one thing missing from Lundqvists resume and thats a Stanley Cup. His performance on Tuesday showed he still has the ability to compete at an elite level. It was the type of performance that could lead to great things during the 2016-17 season.Its good for your confidence when you play a game like this, Lundqvist said. Bruce Smith Jersey . The FA rejected Wilsheres appeal that the length of his punishment was "clearly excessive" and said Thursday his suspension begins with immediate effect. He will miss league matches against Chelsea on Monday and West Ham on Dec. Jordan Mills Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. http://www.thebillsgearshop.com/Bills-Oj-Simpson-Draft-Jersey/ . -- If this was Aaron Gordons final home game at Arizona, and it almost certainly was, then he went out in style. Tom Brady announced Friday that he will not appeal his four-game Deflategate suspension to the U.S. Supreme Court, saying in a message on his Facebook page that he will no longer proceed with the legal process.The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan rejected Bradys latest appeal of the suspension Wednesday, meaning that his last hope to avoid serving the suspension would be to appeal to the Supreme Court.While I was disappointed with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision not to rehear Tom Bradys case, I am most frustrated that Tom was denied his right to a fair and impartial process, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said in a statement Friday. The leagues investigation into a football pressure matter was flawed and biased from the start, and has been discredited nearly unanimously by accredited academics and scientists.The penalty imposed by the NFL was unprecedented, unjust and unreasonable, especially given that no empirical or direct evidence of any kind showed Tom did anything to violate League rules prior to, during or after the 2015 AFC Championship Game. What Tom has had to endure throughout this 18-month ordeal has been, in my opinion, as far removed from due process as you could ever expect in this country.Although Brady indicated that he has dropped out of the appeal process, the NFL Players Association said in a statement that it still might petition the ruling to the Supreme Court.After careful consideration and discussion with Tom Brady, the NFLPA will not be seeking a stay of the four game suspension with the 2nd Circuit, the unions statement said. This decision was made in the interest of certainty and planning for Tom prior to the New England Patriots season. We will continue to review all of our options and we reserve our rights to petition for cert to the Supreme Court.A source told ESPNs Adam Schefter that the union is?expected to petition for cert, asking the Supreme Court to review the decision, in an effort to challenge NFL commissioner Roger Goodells power.The ruling Wednesday was a one-sentennce rejection of requests by the NFLPA and Brady to reconsider an April decision that found that Goodell acted within his powers by suspending the Patriots star quarterback for his role in a scheme to doctor footballs used in a January 2015 playoff game. Micah Hyde Jersey. From day one, I have believed in Tom and given him my unwavering support in his pursuit to rightfully clear his name of any wrongdoing, Kraft said in his statement. That support extends throughout our organization and has only grown more steadfast as the preponderance of scientific evidence has exonerated Tom. Unfortunately, this stopped being about air pressure a long time ago.This entire process has indelibly taken a toll on our organization, our fans and most importantly, Tom Brady. His reluctant decision to stop pursuing further action and to put this situation behind him is what he feels is best for the team in preparation for this season and is fully supported by me and our entire organization.Brady will miss the Patriots first four games this season against the Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins, Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills. He is expected to make his regular-season debut in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns.News that Brady would accept the suspension did nothing to dampen the public perception of his team. The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook still has the Patriots as the favorites to win Super Bowl 51.What began as an accusation of cheating in the AFC Championship Game has grown into a multimillion-dollar legal battle over three NFL seasons involving not just an MVP quarterback but also some of the elite lawyers and scientists in the country.As it developed, it evolved from a dispute about the air pressure in footballs into a referendum on the powers of a sports commissioner and the right of all unionized employees to due process in a disciplinary hearing.ESPNs Mike Reiss, ESPNs Ben Fawkes and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

TORONTO -- As the puck gently trickled over Finlands goal line for an empty-net tally with 2. Eddie Yarbrough Jersey .6 seconds remaining in regulation, Team Sweden goaltender Henrik Lundqvist raised his arms in celebration and gave a fist pump like no one was watching him.Truth be told: All eyes are on the 34-year-old netminder.This game, this 2-0 win symbolized more than just a World Cup of Hockey victory. So many questions have surrounded Lundqvist since the end of the 2015-16 NHL regular season. Many wondered if hes nearing the end of an incredible career. The offseason was unlike any he had experienced in the past. He spent it preparing for this best-on-best tournament in the hope that he could rejuvenate his career for the New York Rangers.Well, Lundqvist proved on Tuesday that he should still be considered a world-class goalie. He was outstanding in a 36-save, shutout performance over Finland.Obviously, it was an important game for me, Lundqvist said. You try to build your game, but at the same time, you have to make sure youre helping your team. Its an important game. You cant just go out there and try to feel good and start building your game. Its too late for that. I had two [preseason] games to do that, and now its for real. You just try to be really focused and do your best out there.During the last World Cup preseason game against Team Europe in Washington, D.C., Lundqvist struggled, allowing five goals on 22 shots before he was pulled midway through the third period. Even though it appeared to be a terrible performance, Lundqvist maintained afterward that he was able to accomplish a lot in that game to prepare for the tournament. It didnt help when he did not play the first official game against Russia on Sunday because he had the flu. Instead, backup Jacob Markstrom played and led Sweden to a 2-1 victory with a 27-save performance.Lundqvist participated in the teams full practice on Monday and said afterward that he would be ready for Finland. There was no way he would miss what could be his last chance to face Swedens rival in international competition. On Tuesday, he flashed the pads and dazzled with his glove en route to a victory over the Finns -- and Sweden improved to 2-0 in this tournament.He was just awesome out there,?Loui Eriksson?said. Made some really good saves for us. He looked like the Hank weve seen before. Great game. Important for us.Like his teammates, Lundqvist takes a lot of pride in playing for the national team. He has won Olympic gold (2006) and silver (2014) and hopes to lead his country to another international victory in this tournament.Thats why hes one of the top goalies in the world, said Sweden coach Rikard Gronborg. He played an excellent game and gave us a chance to win. We knew coming into the tournament hes a top goalie, a piece of the puzzle for us to advance. If we are going to advance in the tournament, he has to be on. He gives a certain kind of stability. As coaches we know we can count on him.Before the tournament, Finnish prospect Patrik Laine, who is considered a pure goal scorer with a laser-like shot, said it didnt matter which goalie was in the net because all he wants to do is score goals. He fired five shots at Lundqvist on Tuesday, but the veteran netminder stopped them all.We had many good scoring chances, but he was playing awesome in the net, so we couldnt score, Laine said. When you dont score any goals its hard to win a game. We were playing pretty well, but the right team won.Laines best scoring chance of the game came with 40.2 seconds remaining in the second period. Finland was on the power play when Laine unleased a one-timer from the top of the left faceoff circle. It was a precise shot to the top right corner, but Lundqvist snared it with a highlight-reel glove save.The puck was bouncing, so it was good I got a shot off from that pass, but I think I had a pretty good shot. Hes a good goalie and he got it and thats the deal, Laine said.Since Lundqvist is likely still not 100 percent, the question will be: Should he play on Wednesday against Team North America? Its not a throw-away game for Sweden. If it was, especially given the way Markstrom played on Sunday, then Lundqvist could be given the day off, but thats not the case now. Lundqvist needs to play. Itll be interesting to see how he responds to playing two games in less than 24 hours.Lundqvist said after Tuesdays game that he felt better both physically and mentally, and that he had more energy before the game than hed had the last few days because of the flu. Lundqvist admitted he felt a bit rusty in the first period against Finland but was able to settle in as the game progressed -- so yes, hell be ready to play against the high-powered young guns on Wednesday. Will he get to?I hope so. I havent talked to the coach yet, but I want to go, he said. Its an important game. Were not in [the semifinals] yet. But he makes the call.Plus, hell likely face a ton of shots given Team North Americas high-paced play so far.Were playing a team with a lot of skill, and they move the puck more side-to-side than maybe the Finns do, Lundqvist said. The Finns go pretty straight to the net and try to create rebounds and chances like that, so its going to be a great challenge for me and for the team tomorrow.No matter how this tournament ends for Sweden, if Lundqvist can continue to play like he did against Finland and build his game in preparation for his season with the Rangers, itll be interesting to see if he can regain his Vezina-worthy ability.Hes had a great career in the NHL, and hes a great goalie, said Finland goalie Tuukka Rask, who also played well and finished with 28 saves in the loss. Hes been at the top for many, many years, so hopefully I can do the same.Theres only one thing missing from Lundqvists resume and thats a Stanley Cup. His performance on Tuesday showed he still has the ability to compete at an elite level. It was the type of performance that could lead to great things during the 2016-17 season.Its good for your confidence when you play a game like this, Lundqvist said. Bruce Smith Jersey .

PITTSBURGH -- Plenty of the numbers from Pittsburghs breezy 99-80 victory over Gardner-Webb looked pretty. Denis Suarez Jersey .And none of them mattered to coach Kevin Stallings. Sure shooting 54 percent and never being challenged on Monday night was nice, especially three days after needing double-overtime to hold off Eastern Michigan in Stallings coaching debut with the Panthers. Yet Stallings is more concerned about whether his team is ready for a far sterner test on Thursday against SMU at Madison Square Garden in the 2K Classic.You look at our defensive numbers, they were indicative of a team that was not really wired into play, he said. Thats my fault. Thats my job.Cameron Johnson scored 18 points and made all four of his 3-point attempts for Pitt (2-0). Michael Young put up 18 points and seven rebounds in 15 minutes after being held out of the starting lineup for only the second time in his career due to a minor violation of team rules. Sheldon Jeter added 14 points and a game-high 13 rebounds.Still, the Panthers led the Runnin Bulldogs trade baskets early in the first half and for long stretches in the second. Stallings wonders if his players are getting a little too caught up in the free-flowing offense Stallings brought with him from Vanderbilt.Maybe Ive sent the wrong message about tempo and offense and things like that, Stallings said. Were not ready to beat anybody thats equivalent to us in terms of talent because we dont sustain any type of defensive intensity.At one point in the first half, Stallings pulled the entire starting five off the floor in frustration.I think he just wanted more effort and energy, Johnson said. He cited a lack of focus for that.Not that much was required over the final 30 minutes after a 10-0 burst that included a pair of 3-pointers by Johnson to give the Panthers a 30-14 lead that was never threatened.RUNNIN WITH THE PANTHERSLaQuincy Rideau finished with a career-high 23 points for Gardner-Webb (0-2) while adding eight rebounds and six assists. David Efianayi scored 20 points and Liam OReilly chipped in 14. The Runnin Bulldogs spread the floor to provide Rideau with room to slice his 6-foot-1 frame through the lane.I felt there was little more space where maybe we could attack the paint off the dribble, Gardner-Webb coach Tim Craft said. The problem is we werent converting. Some of the finishes were a little wild.BIG MAN DEBUTPitt junior Rozelle Nix made his long-awaited debut after missing last season with a foot injury. The 6-foot-11, 300-pound Nix entered with just over 4 minutes left and finished with four rebounds and on emphatic block on Gardner-Webbs DJ Laster that sent Nixs teammates erupting off the bench.He got me once like that once, Jeter said. Im not ashamed to admit it. Im not afraid to admit it.BIG PICTUREGardner-Webb: After managing just 44 points in a lackluster loss to SMU in the opener last week, Gardner-Webb was happy to try and keep pace with Pitt in what Craft called a learning experience for a young team that will rely on Rideau and Efianayi -- both sophomores -- to carry some of the scoring load.Pitt: Despite the defensive issues, the Panthers seem to have quickly embraced what Stallings wants to do on the other end of the floor. The Panthers made 13 of 26 3-pointers and finished with 29 assists on 35 field goals.UP NEXTGardner-Webb: plays Eastern Michigan in Indianapolis on Friday.Pitt: faces SMU on Thursday at Madison Square Garden.

New Zealand 329 for 2 (Latham 136, Williamson 95*, Guptill 87) v ZimbabweScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsTom Latham scored a second successive century in this series as New Zealand built the foundations of an imposing first-innings total on a flat track. Latham formed the spine of two tall stands, 169 with Martin Guptill for the first wicket and 160 with Kane Williamson for the second and wore down a Zimbabwe side that appeared out of ideas on a long first day in Bulawayo.Despite adding a second specialist spinner, John Nyumbu, to their XI, Zimbabwe did not look likely to take any more than the six wickets they managed in the first match. They lacked discipline, penetration and assistance from the surface or the outfield, which has got quicker in the past week. What they had a surplus of was options but Graeme Cremer chose to stick with a five-man attack for most of the day. He left Prince Masvaure unused while only turning to Sean Williams and Sikandar Raza at the end of the day.Perhaps Cremer wanted to spare the part-timers the toil of being taken on by a New Zealand top three who offered only three chances all day. Guptill, shortly after he reached his half-century in the second session, lashed at width from Cremer and got a thick edge but debutant wicketkeeper Peter Moor could not hold on. The only other opportunity Guptill gave was taken when Donald Tiripano beat his inside edge and trapped him lbw 13 short of a century. Zimbabwe had to wait until the final over before they took another wicket, Latham finally losing concentration for 136.Much like his hundred in the first Test, Latham was extremely patient. He may have enjoyed better batting conditions though with the Queens Sports Club not offering the same turn as it had a week ago.

Not even the introduction of spin in the 21st over, when captain Cremer brought himself on, had an impact on the scoring rate. Zimbabwe went to lunch wicketless, having conceded 101 runs.Both openers reached their fifties after the break but attention moved off the field and into the stand where the biggest crowd of the series was gearing up for a peaceful protest. In the 36th over, with the grandstand filled with Zimbabwe flags, the people stood to sing the national anthem and followed it with a chant of Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe. Had you not known of the call for action made earlier this week, you may have wondered why fans were cheering a team that had yet to take a wicket.Guptill was milking the spinners and hurtling towards a hundred when he was dismissed against the run of play. That was the 16th time, out of 19 fifty-plus scores, that Guptill was unable to convert to three figures.Latham continued, undisturbed by the loss of his opening partner. He took 31 balls to move from 67 to 80 but needed only 15 more to get to reach his fifth Test century.

NEW YORK -- Buck Showalter was standing in his office at Yankee Stadium when Baltimore reliever Tommy Hunter popped in and grabbed the managers arm, nudging him toward the thumping party in the clubhouse across the hall. Mitchell Robinson Jersey .And when Showalter emerged through the protective plastic sheets hanging above the entryway, his players roared and doused him in bubbly.Thanks to a victory in their regular-season finale, the power-hitting Orioles are on to the playoffs.Matt Wieters homered from both sides of the plate, Kevin Gausman gave Baltimore a clutch pitching performance and Baltimore snagged an AL wild card by beating the New York Yankees 5-2 Sunday.It never really got away from us, Showalter said. You go through periods when youre like, youve got a chance to win a division, youve got a chance to be a wild card, then youve got a chance to not even be in it. And you dont overcome that without having a real strong mentality.Baltimore will play Tuesday night at AL East rival Toronto for a chance to face AL West champion Texas in a best-of-five Division Series.All we asked for is an opportunity, and right now, we have an opportunity. So, lets celebrate and enjoy this and get back to work, outfielder Adam Jones said.Zach Britton got five outs and finished perfect in 48 save chances this year with a 0.54 ERA. Wieters had four RBIs and Gausman (9-12) was charged with two runs in 7 1/3 innings as the Orioles -- who led the majors by a wide margin with 253 home runs -- closed with their seventh victory in nine games to reach the postseason for the third time in five years.Theyre looking for their first World Series championship since 1983.You just roll the dice and see if you can knock on the door and break through this time, said Dan Duquette, executive vice president of baseball operations.Baltimore (89-73) barely celebrated on the field after Britton struck out Brett Gardner to end it. Several players hugged each other behind the mound, but others simply walked out of the dugout and formed the customary handshake line.Back in their raucous clubhouse, however, the Orioles let loose. They sprayed beer and champagne, joining the AL East champion Red Sox as opponents who celebrated in the visitors clubhouse at Yankee Stadium within the past five days.I think its even more fun to do it here, Gausman said. They beat us up a lot over the years, way past before my time, so its good to celebrate here.In his final game before retiring, New York slugger Mark Teixeira went 0 for 3 and showed off his Gold Glove form with a couple of slick plays at first base. Honored during a 12-minute ceremony and feted with several gifts before the game, he was removed with one out in the top of the seventh inning so he could soak up the cheers while he walked off the field, fully composed as he hugged his teammates one at a time.Mentally and emotionally, I kind of prepared for it, Teixeira said. It wasnt as weird as I thought it would be.Baltimore squandered a three-run lead Saturday in a 7-3 loss to the Yankees that made its playoff prospects more complicated. But the Orioles got help that night when Detroit and Seattle were beaten, so they knew when they arrived at Yankee Stadium on Sunday that all they needed was a win to get in.When I woke up, I was ready to go, Gausman said. I wanted the game to start at 12 oclock. I was pacing back and forth in here a long time and I wanted the ball today.Jonathan Schoop, who started every game this season, reached on a pop-fly double leading off the third and put Baltimore ahead when he scored on J.J. Hardys sacrifice fly.In the fourth, Wieters was batting left-handed when he hit a two-run homer into the second deck in right field on a 3-0 pitch from Luis Cessa (4-4). That came one batter after Mark Trumbo reached on an infield single when Teixeira failed to scoop third baseman Ronald Torreyes short-hop throw.Manny Machado singled in the sixth and Wieters, batting right-handed, greeted lefty reliever Tommy Layne with another two-run drive just inside the left-field foul pole.Brian McCann went deep for the fourth-place Yankees (84-78), reaching 20 homers for the ninth consecutive season and 10th time overall.Didi Gregorius had an RBI single off Britton with two outs in the eighth before first baseman Chris Davis grabbed Aaron Hicks sharp grounder with two on to end the inning.LOOKING AHEADThe Orioles went 9-10 against the Blue Jays (89-73) this season. They were 4-5 in Toronto, but took two of three crucial games there just last week. We won five straight series on the road at the end of the year. That is a very, very hard thing to do, Jones said.DOUBLE TROUBLEWieters became the first Orioles player to homer from both sides since Hall of Fame second baseman Roberto Alomar against Cleveland on July 25, 1996. ... Wieters has seven career multihomer games, three this season.YANKEE DOODLE DANDYGausman was 3-1 with a 1.10 ERA in six starts against the Yankees this year.LET THE RECORD SHOWTeixeira finished with the same amount of hits as games played (1,862). He batted .268 with 409 home runs and 1,298 RBIs.UP NEXTOrioles: RHP Chris Tillman (16-6, 3.77 ERA) figures to start the wild-card game, but Showalter did not announce his plans.Yankees: Play their season opener next year April 2 at Tampa Bay. Mark Jackson Jersey .

PETERSBURG, Fla. DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Defending Sprint Cup Series champion Kyle Busch was OK after an apparent cut tire resulted in a hard crash Friday during practice at Daytona International Speedway.The Joe Gibbs Racing driver was running in a small pack of cars practicing for the Coke Zero 400 when the right rear tire blew near the exit of Turn 2. The car fishtailed before turning hard right and making near 90-degree contact with the outside SAFER Barrier.Busch walked out of his car and was evaluated and released from the infield care center. He said the tire blew after just four laps on the track, and Goodyear reported that the tire had a gash in it, meaning Busch likely ran over something on the track.He will have to go to a backup car for the race Saturday. He will be able to start where he qualifies Friday afternoon because he will use that backup car for qualifying today.It was a huge impact, Busch said. I thank NASCAR for all their advancements in the safety aspects of the car in the things that drivers wear and the SAFER Barriers as well today. That could have been a heck of a lot uglier than what it was.Im pretty confident in Joe Gibbs Racing and their ability to build good racee cars. Trey Burke Jersey. . Im not very confident in Goodyear in giving us good tires to go out there and race on.Busch was right to have confidence in the JGR cars. He posted the third-best speed in the final round of qualifying in his backup car for a solid starting spot Saturday. He also said his rant on Goodyear was more about issues he has had this season than just Friday morning.Weve had a lot of tire issues this year -- that [was] probably four, five or six tires that weve blown this year, he said.
