Termine » ke up on Clevelands offensive line as Jo

Gary Ballance has confirmed he is fit and ready to take on Pakistan in the first Investec Test at Lords on Thursday, after overcoming a minor groin injury that caused him to miss Yorkshires NatWest T20 Blast fixture against Derbyshire on Sunday.It was just a precaution with Yorkshire having so much cricket in the last few months, Ballance told ESPNcricinfo. I thought it best to rest it up with a Test coming up now. But Im absolutely fine now, Im ready to go.Ballance, 26, was a surprise inclusion in Englands 12-man Test squad, having not featured in Englands starting XI since the corresponding Lords Test against Australia this time last year.On that occasion, he was dropped after a run of one half-century in ten innings, amid concerns that his crease-bound technique had been found out by bowlers at the highest level.But he produced a timely return to form with an unbeaten hundred for Yorkshire against Middlesex at Scarborough in last weeks County Championship clash, and though his call-up came sooner than he might have anticipated, he believes he is a good place ahead of his 16th Test appearance this week.It was great to get the call last week, Ballance told ESPNcricinfo. Im over the moon to be back in the squad and back here at Lords. I cant wait to get started.I didnt expect the phone call, it was a bit of a surprise, but the motivation was there and I was so happy to be back in the squad and get another opportunity.The last few weeks have gone well for me, he added. I feel in good form and pretty confident that I can take that form into the first Investec Test.Balance can expect a stern examination of his credentials against a quality Pakistan bowling line-up that includes the left-arm quicks, Mohammad Amir and Wahab Riaz, and the talented legspinner, Yasir Shah.I think theyve got a really good side, he said. A good bowling attack and Mohammad Amir is a very skilful bowler. Weve got to be on our A game, the guys have got to play well, but weve seen over the last year or so, how well the guys have gone against good attacks. Hopefully we can do it again.Investec is the title sponsor of Test match cricket in England. For more on Investec private banking, visit investec.co.uk/banking Nike Vapormax Canada Online .

Nike Vapormax Clearance .com) - Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Roger Federer were easy first-round winners Tuesday at the Australian Open. CLEVELAND -- Americas Team is looking more and more like Dak Prescotts.The rookie quarterback threw three easy touchdown passes and kept any talk about Dallas playing Tony Romo unnecessary, leading the Cowboys to a 35-10 rout on Sunday over the winless Cleveland Browns.Rookie Ezekiel Elliott rushed for 92 yards and scored twice, and durable veteran tight end Jason Witten had 134 yards receiving for the Cowboys, off to their best start since 2007.Prescott has won seven straight starts since losing the season opener, and with the Cowboys (7-1) leading the NFC East and getting better, theres no reason for the team to accelerate Romos return from a back injury.Romo practiced earlier this week and is looking at a return at some point this season.However, the way Prescott is playing, the 36-year-old Romo doesnt look as if hell be back on the field anytime soon.Weve got a great luxury and wonderful problem to have, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. Weve got some real talent at our quarterback position. I think Tony Romo is one of the best quarterbacks that has played this game.My real regret would be to have had him here and not win a Super Bowl with him. Hes that talented. And then I look at Dak and how hes playing, his future. I just dont have a problem with this situation.As the Cowboys wrestle with success, the Browns (0-9) are plunging to new depths.Theyve dropped a franchise-record 12 straight going back to last season and lost 19 of 20 -- also a team record. Cleveland, which also started 0-9 in 1975, is 3-27 in its past 30 and the Browns are the first team since the 1964 Denver Broncos to allow at least 25 points in their first nine games.Were not going 0-16, linebacker Christian Kirksey said. I dont know if Im supposed to say this, but were not going winless.The Browns gained just 28 total yards in the second half when they were overmatched on both sides of the ball by the Cowboys.Prescott threw a 26-yard TD pass to Witten and a 6-yarder to Cole Beasley in the first half to help Dallas open a 21-3 lead.And while Prescotts pushing Romo deeper into the background, the fourth-round pick from Mississippi State is also drawing comparisons to another Cowboys rookie QB -- Troy Aikman.Prescott broke two of the Hall of Famers team rookie records in the blowout, surpassing him in TDs and completions. With eight games left, Prescott, who finished 21 of 27 for 247 yards, will surpass all of Aikmans first-year marks and may start to chip away at some others as well.ddddddddddddJones said Romo will do more this week at practice, but he doesnt know if the quarterback will be active when the Cowboys visit the Pittsburgh Steelers next Sunday.Prescott said there has been no awkwardness between the QBs and credited Romo with guiding him through the early part of his NFL career. If theres any controversy, its taking place outside the confirms of the Cowboys locker room.Me and Tony have a great relationship, he said. I dont think this team or anybody even worries about that. We come in stay focused and just try to win no matter whos back there.ONE TOUGH COWBOYThe 34-year-old Witten, who had eight receptions, made his 155th consecutive start, breaking a team record held by linebacker Lee Roy Jordan.It was Wittens first 100-yard game since 2013 and the 13-year veteran moved past Calvin Johnson (11,619 yards) for 28th place on the career list.ELLIOTT MESSJones said hes very comfortable with his knowledge of the allegations against Elliott, who has been interviewed by the league this season regarding domestic violence complaints.Everything that I know regarding Zekes case, makes me satisfied that we dont have issues, Jones said.KESSLER RETURNSBrowns rookie quarterback Cody Kessler returned after missing one game with a concussion and passed for 203 yards. Kessler threw a 12-year-old TD pass to Terrelle Pryor and also took several hard shots as Dallas defense teed off on him with the big lead in the second half.Kessler was limping after the game. He received an X-ray on his leg, but feels hell be able to play Thursday at Baltimore.ERVING VS. IRVINGFive plays into the game, the Browns and Cowboys were brawling.Cleveland starting center Cam Erving and Dallas defensive end David Irving scuffled following a play and both were ejected. Its not clear what prompted the altercation, which included punches being thrown and ended with Erving pulling off Irvings helmet.The loss of Erving caused the latest shake up on Clevelands offensive line as John Greco moved from right guard to center, Alvin Bailey went from left guard to right and rookie Spencer Drango came in.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
