9Chris Woakes (177 runs at 35.40, 26 wickets at 16.73)Outstanding. The top wicket-taker in the series, Woakes bowled with pace, skill, control and consistency and looked, in almost every spell, the most dangerous of Englands bowlers. After earning multiple honours board mention at Lords (he claimed five-wicket hauls in both innings), he took another seven wickets in Manchester (and contributed a composed half-century as nightwatchman) and five more in Birmingham. He finished having set a new record for the number of wickets by an England bowler in a series against Pakistan.7.5Alastair Cook (423 runs at 60.42)Cook batted with fluency - only Moeen Ali scored his runs more quickly - and consistency against a fine bowling attack. If there were times it seemed he squandered his platform - pulling on to his stumps at The Oval and pushing at one away from his body at Edgbaston - it was a sense magnified by the lack of contribution from others in the top order. Cook also demonstrated his growing captaincy skills by coaxing an out of sorts (Woakes aside) bowling attack to victory at Edgbaston and suggesting Anderson apologise after his disagreement with the umpires. Lost half a mark due to his drops in the slips. Needs to find a way to improve Englands over-rate, though.Joe Root (512 runs at 73.14, 1 wicket at 27)It is probably unreasonable to expect more from a 25-year-old than Root produced here. So infuriated was he with himself after his two impatient dismissals at Lords that he produced perhaps the most mature innings of his career at Old Trafford. And, if he endured a disappointing game at The Oval, again allowing his impatience to get the better of him, it was a reminder that England have come to rely on him too heavily. Not at his best in the slips, though he remains a fine catcher.Jonny Bairstow (366 runs at 52.28; 14 catches, one stumping)After a poor miss at Lords, Bairstow enjoyed an improved series with the gloves and another consistently good series with the bat. While he may have some frustration at not converting any of his four half-centuries into centuries, he twice departed selflessly trying to up the pace to set-up a declaration. Guaranteed to start the winter as first choice keeper.Moeen Ali (316 runs at 63.20; 11 wickets at 46.54)The simple summary would state that Moeen shone with the bat and subsided with the ball. The truth, though, is a little more complex. After a poor Tests at Lords, Moeens place in the side looked as precarious as at any time since his early Tests. But he weighed in with five wickets at Old Trafford, two vital half-centuries at Edgbaston and a high-class century at The Oval. While his economy rate of 4.62 an over is simply not good enough, he did end the series with a better strike-rate than every England bowler other than Woakes. He suffers, in part, for being the least bad spinner (arguably, anyway) in a period when Englands spin resources have never been so low.6.5James Anderson (nine wickets at 25.66)After missing the first Test - controversially according to some - Anderson was as tight and controlled as ever for the rest of the series. While he admitted his pace had dropped, he suggested his experience and skills compensated. Sure enough, he bowled with great skill in harnessing the reverse swing at Edgbaston, but looked just a bit toothless at The Oval.6Stuart Broad (13 wickets at 28.61)Claimed six wickets at Lords and finished with perfectly respectable bowling figures, but this was a slightly underwhelming series from a man who has become accustomed to match-turning spells. Though there were moments of great skill - he produced a lovely cutter to account for Asad Shafiq at Old Trafford and produced a sharp spell at The Oval - but he was generally content to provide a holding role on these sluggish surfaces, bowling within himself and concentrating on moving the ball into right-handed batsmen.5Steven Finn (5 wickets at 70.40)While never quite at his best, Finn bowled some way better than his figures suggest. The slow pitches and dropped catches did him few favours, but he was generally unable to recapture the pace that rendered him so dangerous on his return last year or in South Africa at the start of this year. Dropped for the second Test, he returned with two important wickets in the second innings in Edgbaston and retained his place for the final Test. Hard to see how he makes it into the Test team in Asia, though.4.5Gary Ballance (195 runs at 27.85)Top-scored in the first innings at Edgbaston but failed to cement his return to the side. While three dismissals to balls turning sharply from outside off hinted at a problem against spin that could be exploited this winter, there were few signs of the problems against left-arm pace that bothered him last year. In danger of being branded alongside Hales and Vince, but in reality looked a little more assured.3.5Alex Hales (145 runs at 18.12)After the apparent progress made against Sri Lanka, this was a hugely disappointing series. Only once could Hales reach 25 and five times in the series his uncertainty around off stump was exploited with catches to the cordon. He remained fallible in the field and provided a glimpse into his growing anxiety by remonstrating with the third umpire at The Oval. There was one important innings - he helped his captain erase the first innings deficit in Edgbaston - but Hales faces an anxious wait to see if his success against Sri Lanka earned him the credit to secure his place in Bangladesh and India.James Vince (158 runs at 22.57)There were moments - not least in the second innings at Lords and in the Edgbaston Test in which he contributed 81 runs - when it appeared Vince might be learning the discipline and denial required in Test cricket. But even at Edgbaston he enjoyed some fortune and a tally of five dismissals to edges to the keeper or the cordon and a poor shot in the final innings at The Oval suggested a recurring fault outside off stump that threatens his future at this level. Seven Tests in succession without being able to repay the selectors faith with a half-century leave him unlikely to make the tour squad. Rarely convincing in the slip cordon.N/AJake Ball (one wicket at 88)Given only one Test, on a slow, low wicket at Lords, Ball bowled a little better than his figures suggest and produced a nice yorker to account for Azhar Ali. While he will remain part of the squad of seamers England look to over the next few years, it is hard to see a role for him in Asia.Ben StokesBroke down with a calf tear at Old Trafford in his comeback Test after knee surgery. If the recurrence of injury raised questions over his long-term prospects - memories of Andrew Flintoff came to mind - his absence was alleviated in part by the emergence of Woakes. The ability to play them both provides England will enviable options and depth. Cheap Yeezy Shoes Wholesale .

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- T.J. Ward never comes off the field anymore.Why would he?The versatile Denver versatile safety is in the midst of the best season of his seven-year NFL career.His 42 tackles at the halfway point are eight shy of his total from all of last season, when he made the Pro Bowl for the second straight year.The Broncos have a wealth of defensive stars to turn loose on opponents, from Von Millers antagonizing tackles to Chris Harris Jr. shutting down route runners.What T.J. Ward does is a little bit of everything -- except catch his breath.He clobbers quarterbacks on the blitz.He batters running backs in the box.He torments tight ends over the middle.He wallops wide receivers wherever they go.Its hard to find those guys, coach Gary Kubiak said. He gives us a lot of flexibility.And productivity.If you look at my numbers, Ward said, I think Im probably playing my best right now .Ward already has more pass breakups (7 vs. 6), forced fumbles (3 vs. 2) and fumble recoveries (1 vs. 0) than he did last year when he played a major role in the Broncos first Super Bowl championship since John Elway was leading the huddle instead of the front office.Hes been lights out, linebacker Brandon Marshall said. T.J., hes killing it. Hes having an All-Pro season. I told him the other day, `Im proud of you, man. Hes out here balling out. T.J.s focused, hes hungry, hes driven, hes making all kinds of plays, on the pass, on the run, hes everywhere.Wherever hes needed, man, he makes plays, at that position. T.J.s a hell of a safety. And we all knew that when he came in here. Hes killing it. And Im happy.The only thing Ward cant seem to do is explain it all.No, theyre not asking me to do more, its just -- I dont know what it is, Ward said. Maybe more opps. Im in more positions where Im able to make more plays. Maybe guys are talking to me more. I dont know what it is.Whatever it is, Im doing it.Thats for sure.According to the Broncos public relations staff, Ward is the first NFL defensive back since at least 1994 -- and maybe ever -- to have 35 tackles, three forced fumbles, a sack and an interception iin a single month.ddddddddddddThat was pretty surprising, Ward said of his eye-popping October. Amazing to me. But Ive just got to focus on what I can do better.Defensive backs coach Joe Woods said Wards versatility as a linebacker and safety allows the Broncos to mandate matchups rather than react to offensive formations.Some teams try to force teams to play certain ways. We try to make sure week to week that were going to dictate the matchups, Woods said. And when you have guys like T.J., it gives us that flexibility to create that matchup.That adjustability has allowed the Broncos to make up not only for the free agent loss of linebacker Danny Trevathan, but also for in-season adjustments when guys like rookie safety Justin Simmons has gotten hurt.Most NFL teams pick six captains in training camp. Not the Broncos, who pick three.Then, at the halfway point, the players vote to add three more, one each on offense, defense and special teams.For the second straight season, Wards teammates chose him to wear the C on his jersey, along with quarterback Trevor Siemian and linebacker Dekoda Watson.It feels good. It shows what my teammates think of me, Ward said. But regardless, Ill carry myself in the same manner. If I got it at the beginning of the season, end of the season, Im the same player, so thats what you get from me. It just shows that my teammates appreciate me.Free safety Darian Stewart, who matched Wards interception with one of his own last week against Philip Rivers on a day the two were featured on the Broncos program , said Ward is all over the field and relentless.Like a Tasmanian devil, said cornerback Chris Harris Jr. Thats what I call him. I call him `Taz. Hes acting crazy on the field. So, sometimes I have to calm him down a bit. But thats the type of fire we need.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton China NFL Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap Basketball Jerseys Online Stitched Hockey Jerseys Wholesale Baseball Jerseys Football Jerseys Outlet College Jerseys For Sale Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys For Sale Wholesale NFL Jerseys ' ' '
