Former South African medium-pacer Alan Dawson has resigned from his post as the Cape Cobras selection convener with immediate effect. Tytus Howard Texans Jersey . Dawson said that the off-field situation at the Cobras had made his position untenable.The situation he referred to was the increasing tension between players and management that originated after 14 contracted players filed a formal grievance against head coach Paul Adams, and then persisted with their call that he be removed after a board decision was made to keep him on.I feel like no matter what team I select, its not going to make a difference. I dont feel like I can make a contribution, Dawson told Independent Media. I used the saying yesterday to Nabeal Dien [the Cobras chief executive] that I feel like an Elastoplaster on a boil, and that no matter what the plaster does, it still wont cure the boil. It has to be cured from the inside. The time has come to make proper cricket calls. I cant work in that environment.Ive been involved for about two to three months and Ive tried to find solutions and to ascertain where the real problem lies. I sought counsel from all over, current players, ex-players, administrators, selectors. Before I started I was told there were a few little issues between the players and the coach, but that was a lie.After four games apiece this season in the Sunfoil Series, the Cobras currently sit at the bottom of the points table, the only team yet to record a win with three losses and a draw. Adding to their troubles, their captain, Omphile Ramela, has been suspended for their next match for breaching CSAs code of conduct during their loss to the Knights.Dawson also stated his support for Adams. The worst thing about all of this is, is that they are doing Paul an injustice. Paul is my mate, and its tough for me to see him go through this thing. J.J.

Jos Buttler has said he is ready to shelve the reticence that undermined his last attempt at cracking Test cricket and believes he will be trusted by the team management to play his natural attacking game if, as widely anticipated, he is handed a recall for next weeks first Test against Pakistan at Lords.With a space opening up in Englands middle order following Nick Comptons decision to take a break from cricket, and with doubts about Jonny Bairstows wicketkeeping undermining his revelatory run of form with the bat against Sri Lanka, the path is clear for Buttler to resume his role with the gloves at No.7, especially if Ben Stokes, his fellow hard-hitting batsman, is deemed unready for an immediate recall following the knee operation that ruled him out of the last two Tests.A return for Buttler at Lords would, on the one hand, be something of a leap of faith, seeing as he has not played a red-ball match since Englands Test tour of the UAE more than eight months ago. On that trip, he was dropped ahead of the final Test against Pakistan at Sharjah following a dramatic collapse in form and confidence. Since the start of the previous summers Ashes at Cardiff, he had mustered 156 runs in seven Tests at 13.00, with a highest score of 42, at a strike-rate of less than a run every two balls.However, Buttlers coruscating form in limited-overs cricket continued at the Ageas Bowl on Tuesday night, when his unbeaten 73 from 49 balls eased England to an eight-wicket win in the one-off T20 against Sri Lanka, and his rediscovered confidence is so tangible that selectors appear sorely tempted to unleash him once again in the longest format.Asked whether he felt it mattered that he hadnt played a first-class match for so long, Buttler responded, tellingly: In the olden days maybe it would, but in the new set-up maybe not.And should he be named in this weekends squad, then Buttler believes that the recent injection of a have-a-go mentality into Englands Test plans will allow him to play the natural game that has served him and his team-mates so well during his recent white-ball experiences, both for England at the World T20 and against Sri Lanka, and for Mumbai Indians in the IPL.I dont think Id be trying to bat time, he said of his likely Test gameplan. Having had time out of the game and watching certain players in our team from the sidelines in South Africa and watching on the TV this summer - the way Jonny plays, the way Joe Root plays, the way Ben Stokes plays - theyre always trying to put the pressure on. Thats the way English cricket has gone. Its about scoring runs. It doesnt matter how, its how many. You take your bat out there to score runs, so try to score them.That was something that Buttler conspicuously failed to do towards the end of his previous stint in the Test team, particularly on the slow, low wickets in Abu Dhabi and Dubai when he appeared to fear the consequences of trusting his attacking instincts. But, with Trevor Bayliss, Englands head coach, cultivating a no fear attitude to his teams strokeplay, Buttler believes hes ready for another go.If thats what tthe coach is telling you to do, its a good start, he said. Andre Johnson Jersey. It probably comes down to making peace with what you guys [the media] are going to write and what the public are going to think, and accepting that if you get caught at second slip having a big whoosh, so be it. Id rather do that than leave one and get bowled. The games about scoring runs. What Ive learned, whatever colour the ball is, is that me trying to hit the ball is going to get the best out of myself.Buttler was memorably encouraged by Bayliss to put his Test ambitions on the backburner earlier this year, and was given the go-ahead to sign a lucrative deal to play a full season of IPL cricket for Mumbai Indians. But the time away from the Test team has merely sharpened his desire to make amends for his shortcomings last time out.Ive had some time away to think and put cricket into perspective, he said. Ive had some fantastic experiences over the last six months and learned a lot - just by siting there watching. I think the IPL was a fantastic experience. You come back so much more confident from that, brushing shoulders with those kind of guys. A lot more clarity about the mentality it takes to succeed.When you get dropped and left out, you have a good think, he added. Obviously Ive experienced some great things in the Test team, and you realise why its the best form of the game. But when you get dropped you have that hunger to get back in. I havent played red-ball cricket for a long time, but Ive really enjoyed my cricket and enjoyed doing what Ive been doing. Whatever happens, it doesnt change your ambition. Whatever colour the ball is, you want to score runs and influence the game.In many ways, the confidence in Buttlers game is as significant as his obvious talent, for he readily admits that, at the age of 25, and with five years of experience at international level under his belt, he is better able now to rationalise the ups and downs of the sport that so clearly got to him late last year.Its the most confident Ive felt, he said. You gain another year. As a 21-year-old, when people said youll become a better player with experience you dont really believe it. Maybe now Ive understood what that means.Some of the experiences of the last year Ive gone through, the highs and lows, have really put it in perspective - does it really matter, the cricket stuff? Its about not getting too caught up with everything, and just enjoying it. Ive felt in good form. You try to capitalise on that and use your experience to make the most of it. It really boils down to enjoying your cricket and making the most of it.And with that frame of mind, he feels really to conquer any logistical challenge that the international schedule can throw at him.When youre averaging 10, youre not going to be very confident. The word is conviction. I didnt have the same conviction as I had against the white ball. Thats what Ill have to do. Show that conviction, that confidence, and take it on. ' ' '
