In the aftermath of Australias 0-3 whitewash at the hands of Sri Lanka, captain Steven Smith has spoken about his annoyance at the nature of his dismissals and his frustration that his side had failed to capitalise on good positions.Smith was twice bowled by Rangana Herath while attempting to cut, and was also stumped twice and trapped lbw once off the same bowler. He admitted to mulling over those dismissals and being dissatisfied with his showing.Id be lying if I said I hadnt replayed my dismissals from this series over and over in my head when Ive been alone in my hotel room, Smith wrote in his column for Fox Sports. Looking back, there are several shots that I regret playing. I regret playing a cut shot and getting bowled by Rangana Herath - twice. Those ones really hurt me because Id practised that exact thing in the nets a huge amount in the lead-up to this series.I also regret standing on middle and leg stump in the second innings of the first Test, and getting out lbw. If I had been batting on leg stump, I probably would have got my bat in the way, and not been out. Those sorts of things make me angry with myself, given how much Ive prepared for those scenarios in the nets.Another source of frustration for Smith was his teams inability to build on good positions in the series. In the first Test, Australia had bowled Sri Lanka out for 117 in the first innings, but went on to lose by 106 runs. In the third Test, they had Sri Lanka 26 for 5 on the first morning and then lost by 163 runs.We didnt take advantage of the good situations we had with the ball, Smith said. In the third Test we had Sri Lanka in big trouble on 5 for 26 but we let them off the hook and they went on to score 355. Thats not good enough and we know it. Weve had opportunities to win Test matches, we just havent taken them and its really cost us.The principal cause of Australias downfall in the series, though, was the left-arm spin of Herath. He took 28 wickets in the series at 12.75, and Australias batsmen simply did not seem to have any convincing answers to the questions he repeatedly posed. Expressing relief that Herath would not feature in the ODIs, Smith also revealed that he had an open chat with the Sri Lankan spinner after the series about how he works his magic.At least for the one-dayers I know that Herath wont be there - hes retired from ODI cricket. The bloke may be 37-years-old but hes still a real handful as a bowler. I would know - he got me out five times out of six in this series!We actually had a drink with the Sri Lankans after the game, and I had a chat to Herath about his bowling tactics. I joked with him that he better stay retired from one-dayers because now I might finally be able to score some runs! He was gracious enough to explain little things like how he changes the trajectory of the ball just by adjusting the height of his arm, and how when theres a breeze he puts the shiny side of the ball on the outside to try get the ball to drift.I normally wouldnt talk so openly with an opponent like that, but he got me out so often that I needed to try work out what to do! I really appreciated him being so open with me. Nike Tn Shoes 2018 . "We have always prided ourselves on the way we play defence.

Madrid is third in the Spanish league, six points behind leader Barcelona, going into Saturdays game against Valladolid. FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- All four of Atlantas quarterbacks are expected to play in Thursday nights preseason opener against Washington, setting a pattern of frequent substitutions that should follow at other positions.Matt Ryan and top backup Matt Schaub will be the first two quarterbacks in the game, followed by Sean Renfree and Matt Sims. Ryan and other starters are expected to have limited playing time.Were looking forward to everybody getting to be a part of this game and getting an evaluation on everybody, all four QBs, coach Dan Quinn said Tuesday.The preseason opener will feature rookies, including tight end Austin Hooper, who is pushing starter Jacob Tamme.Its kind of a really cool night and really devoted toward them as theyre getting their NFL careers started with their first preseason game, Quinn said. Its an important one for all, but especially for them.Quinn isnt planning to substitute full units together. Some first- and second-team players may remain on the field longer.Linebacker, wide receiver and tight end have emerged as the deepest and most competitive positions in training camp.The teams unofficial depth chart lists Vic Beasley Jr., Paul Worrilow and Sean Weatherspoon as the starting linebackers in the Falcons base defense. Rookies Deion Jones and DeVondre Campbell could move into the first unit.The competition at receiver includes a battle between Mohamed Sanu and Justin Hardy for the No. 2 spot behind Julio Jones. Sanu has had some drops in practice while Hardy, a second-year player, has been impressive with his sideline grabs and ability to soar for catches over the middle.Both guys are doing very great for us, Jones said. Were going to compeete.dddddddddddd It doesnt matter, I mean, they compete against me, I compete against them. Its not just Justin and Sanu competing. Its all of us competing.There appears to be good depth at receiver even after veterans Roddy White and Devin Hester were released and Herman Moore signed with the team for only one practice before retiring this week.Rookie Devin Fuller, Aldrick Robinson, Corey Washington, Nick Williams, J.D. McKissic, David Glidden and others are competing with Eric Weems for spots behind Jones, Sanu and Hardy.Thats what we want, to keep getting that competition strong where its really tough and guys are pushing one another, Quinn said.The plan also calls for some players, including linebackers, to be used at more than one spot.We love putting them in pressure spots to see how they respond and moving them and playing them in more than one position to see what they can handle, Quinn said. Its a great test and one we fully intend to put guys in different spots.The teams top draft pick, safety Keanu Neal, is listed as a starter but could be held out with a trunk nerve injury not believed to be serious. Tight end Levine Toilolo (hand) and running back Terron Ward (ankle) also could be held out.Quinn has not said if newly signed defensive end Dwight Freeney will play.Game notes The team signed RB Cyrus Gray, a 2012 sixth-round pick by Kansas City. Gray had a combined 24 carries for 99 yards and one touchdown in three seasons with the team.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Wholesale Discount Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Baseball Jerseys Free Shipping Cheapest College Jerseys Sale Cheap Football Jerseys China Nike NFL Jerseys Canada Wholesale NHL Jerseys From China MLB Jerseys Outlet Canada Wholesale NBA Jerseys Canada Store Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap Authentic Jerseys Canada ' ' '
