Termine » Wagner to the backward square leg boundar

One of these days, the Syracuse Orange is going to need sophomore forward Tyler Lydon to have a big game. And it might be Tuesday, when the No. 18 Orange host the defending Patriot League champion Holy Cross Crusaders at 7 p.m. at the Carrier Dome.Lydon, who averaged 10.1 points and 6.3 rebounds per game as a freshman, was recently named to the 2017 Naismith Trophy Mens 50 College Player of the Year Preseason Watch List. The 6-foot-9 Lydon scored just two points on 1-for-6 shooting with six rebounds in 26 minutes in Syracuses season-opening 83-55 romp over Patriot League-member Colgate Friday night at the Dome. And counting Syracuses two exhibition games, Lydon is 0-for-11 on 3-pointers this season.I wasnt really trying to force anything. My shot hasnt been falling for me so Ill keep working through it, Lydon said. The first three games, even though the first two were exhibition games, I havent made 3-pointers so clearly its a slump but you just have to keep shooting the ball and it will come.Orange coach Jim Boeheim said Lydon, who is playing mostly small forward after playing all over the frontcourt last season, is straying too far from the basket.I think we should have done a better job at getting him to the basket and I think he has to rebound and get on the offensive boards a little better, Boeheim said. And when he gets there, he has to finish or pass it out for a jump shot. But he is a good shooter and if he shoots it, he will be fine.Lydon and the Orange should face a tougher test Tuesday night against a Holy Cross team thats coming off its first Patriot League Tournament championship in nine years and is one of the favorites to win another conference title. The Crusaders return four starters and eight of its top 10 players from a 15-20 team that got hot at the right time and won its four Patriot League Tournament games on the road and then defeated Southern in the First Four for its first NCAA Tournament victory since 1953.We have a number of experienced players back who know what it takes to win a Patriot League championship, coach Bill Carmody said. But if we are going to be successful over the course of the entire season, we will have to be much more consistent on both ends of the court.The Crusaders got off to a rough start as they fell 81-49 Sunday night at South Carolina in what was technically the first game of the Brooklyn Hoops Holiday Invitational Tournament. Syracuse, South Carolina, Holy Cross, Monmouth and South Carolina State are playing round-robin tournament games, but Syracuse and South Carolina are already scheduled to play in the championship game Nov. 26 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.Among the Crusaders returning starters are senior guard Robert Champion (4.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game last season) and senior forward Malachi Alexander (11.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists), who was the 2016 Patriot League Tournament MVP. Against South Carolina, Champion (18 points) and Alexander (15) shot a combined 12-for-26 and scored 33 of Holy Cross 49 points and grabbed a 10 of the Crusaders 16 rebounds. http://www.packersrookiestore.com/Packers-Dean-Lowry-Jersey/ . William Carrier opened the scoring for Cape Breton (6-4-2), but Andrew Ryan tied the game and Brent Andrews put the Mooseheads (8-6-0) in front for good with a short-handed goal at 13:49 of the second period. http://www.packersrookiestore.com/Packers-Kentrell-Brice-Jersey/ . They reached the 100-point plateau for the fourth time in five games, bested the visiting Trail Blazers by 34 in the paint and scored 19 of the final 25 points in regulation. http://www.packersrookiestore.com/Packers-Kenny-Clark-Jersey/ . Mitch Holmberg added a goal and three assists. Connor Chartier also scored for the Chiefs (3-0-0). Luke Harrison spoiled Garrett Hughsons shutout bid with a power-play goal at 13:17 of the third period. The Spokane goaltender finished with 28 saves, including a Brandon Fushimi penalty shot in the second period that would have tied the game 1-1. http://www.packersrookiestore.com/Packers-Quinten-Rollins-Jersey/ . -- Ohio States Urban Meyer has never had any issue acclimating to the biggest stages in college football. http://www.packersrookiestore.com/Packers-Ray-Nitschke-Jersey/ . The Barrie Colts defenceman, who impressed many with his play for Canada at the World Junior Hockey Championship, is the top-ranked skater in the February rankings. He has 19 goals and 24 assists for 43 points in 45 games with the Colts this season. New Zealand 271 (Raval 55, Watling 49*, Sohail 4-99) and 313 for 5 dec (Taylor 102*, Latham 80, Imran 3-76) beat Pakistan 216 (Azam 90*, Southee 6-80) and 230 (Aslam 90, Azhar 58, Wagner 3-57) by 138 runs Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsNew Zealand took nine wickets in a dramatic final session, sealing a 2-0 series whitewash as Pakistan collapsed against the second new ball to slump to a 138-run defeat. When the final session began, the draw seemed the likeliest result by far, and a New Zealand win perhaps less likely than a Pakistan win. With a minimum of 34 overs left, Pakistan needed 211, with nine wickets in hand. Those nine wickets fell in the space of 24.3 overs, the last six to the second new ball in the space of 11 overs.On a pitch that offered little help to the bowlers apart from occasionally inconsistent bounce - which became less of a factor as the ball aged - New Zealand gave themselves a chance by playing the waiting game as Pakistan plotted a heist of their own. Pakistan had chased down two 300-plus targets in the last two years, both times against Sri Lanka - 302 in two sessions in Sharjah, and 377 in Pallekele. Here, chasing 369, Azhar Ali and Sami Aslam added 131 for the first wicket in 60 overs to set them a platform for a possibly Sharjah-esque finish.With the required rate creeping past six an over at the start of the final session, Kane Williamsons tactics began to yield their desired results. His defensive fields had kept Pakistan in the game without letting them get too close, and now, they asked the batsmen to take risks.Babar Azam, going after a wide, flighted ball from Mitchell Santner, dragged the ball onto his stumps, replicating Azhars dismissal before tea. Aslam, failing to get elevation while looking to clear mid-off, fell ten short of a maiden Test hundred. Then Sarfraz Ahmed was run out, looking to steal a suicidal second run. Pakistan were suddenly four down, with the new ball three overs away.New Zealand took it as soon as it was available, and brought their field in, with the target now well beyond Pakistan: 169 in 21 overs. Tim Southee and Matt Henry had barely swung the first new ball. They began swinging the second one appreciably. Younis Khan, tentative right through the series and out chasing a wide ball in the first innings, chased again an edged Southee wide of gully.Then Henry struck in his first over with the new ball, angling it into Asad Shafiq and curling it away late. Looking to play the initial angle, Shafiq closed his bat face and popped a catch to point off the leading edge. Twenty balls later, Younis thrust his pad out at a Southee inswinger. Umpire S Ravi turned down the bowlers appeal, but was forced to change his decision when New Zealand reviewed and ball-tracking showed the ball carrying on to hit the top of off stump.At the crease now were a debutant, Mohammad Rizwan, and a lower-order batsman known more for slogging than defending, Sohail Khan, with 16.3 overs remaining. They held out long enough to prompt a bowling change, Henry giving way to the gentler pace of Colin de Grandhomme, but Sohail drove without moving his feet and spooned a catch to cover.Eleven overs remained; Pakistan would only last 13 more balls, as Neil Wagner, coming on for Southee, blasted out the last three. He took out his fellow left-arm quicks, Mohammad Amir and Wahab Riaz, in the space of three balls, both nicking him to the keeper, before ending the game with the first ball of his next over, bangging the ball in and forcing the No.dddddddddddd 11 Imran Khan to fend to short leg.Rizwan, having fallen for a golden duck in his first Test innings, remained not out on 13 in his second. In hindsight, he may have wished he hadnt taken a single off the first ball of Wagners spell and exposed Pakistans tail to his pace and bounce.Given the start their openers made, Pakistan would never have expected their tail to strap their pads on. By staying in the middle as long as they did, Azhar and Aslam seemed to have ticked off the first box in the teams checklist: that of ensuring they wouldnt lose.With roughly four sessions of the Test match lost to rain, there was less wear and tear on the Seddon Park pitch than a typical fifth-day surface. There wasnt much swing either, forcing Southee into bowling cross-seam within the first ten minutes of the day in an effort to rough up one side of the ball.Up-and-down bounce was the one major threat to Azhar and Aslam. Henry sneaked a shortish ball under Azhars bat in the 12th over of Pakistans innings, narrowly missing off stump, and then, in the 16th over, hit him on the glove with one that lifted from a good length. In the next over, Neil Wagner got a short ball to keep low as well, forcing Azhar to defend his stumps with a hurried jab with both feet off the ground.Wagner, typically, looked to test the openers with the short ball, using the angles adroitly and often, especially while bowling from left-arm around, delivering from as close to the return crease as humanly possible. Both batsmen handled him with a degree of ease, except for one instance when Aslam took his eye off the ball as it followed him from over the wicket and hit him on the side of the helmet.Both batsmen looked to play as straight as possible, with the threat of the shooter at the back of their minds, and this contributed to the glacial pace of run-scoring at the start of the days play. After 20 overs, Pakistan had only scored 21.Then, at the start of the 21st over, a bouncer from Wagner ran away for five wides and began a slight shift in the pattern of play. Azhar drove Henry for a four to the right of mid-off, and both batsmen sent square-cuts flying to the boundary in the next couple of overs. Aslam brought up the fifty stand in the 27th over, flicking Wagner to the backward square leg boundary, and soon afterwards sent a top-edged sweep off Mitchell Santner over the square-leg rope.The openers didnt quite sustain the acceleration through the first half of the post-lunch session, scoring only 19 runs in the first 10 overs. As drinks approached, they began looking for sharp singles, and a more accurate throw from Henry Nicholls at short midwicket could have sent back Aslam in the 50th over. The drinks break provoked a distinct change in approach. Aslam pulled Wagner to the square-leg boundary, and then picked up two fours towards fine leg in one over from Henry, the first one a flick that went finer than intended, the second an inside-edged cover-drive.In all, Pakistan scored 51 in 13 overs after the drinks break, and were 158 for 1 at tea. Aslam was batting on 75, Azam on 16 off 23 balls, and their minds must have been busy calculating run rates and figuring out which boundaries to target after the break. Neither they nor their team-mates nor their opponents could have imagined what was to follow.
