a two-year suspension after testing positive | Forum

England bowled straighter to VijayM Vijay had gotten out a couple of times edging to fast bowlers in the Test series against New Zealand. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Jonathan-Cooper-Jersey/ . Last month, his trigger movement was a slight forward press and that, perhaps, led him to play inside the line. In Rajkot, Vijay started moving back and across in the trigger movement, for that meant his head getting on top of off stump and that helped him leave balls outside off. In Visakhapatnam, the England bowlers, especially James Anderson bowled a lot straighter. This shows the constant evolution of tactics in international cricket.Pujara against the short ballsChange in tactics. Ben Stokes and Alastair Cook have abandoned the outside-off line for Cheteshwar Pujara and decided to give the bouncer-trap a go. Theres a short leg, a leg gully and two fielders in the deep, square on the leg side. Pujara has handled the threat quite well in Visakhapatnam as compared to his struggles against the bouncers in Rajkot. In the previous Test, he was planting his front foot in a long and across stride, which led to the upper body getting blocked. Here, he has kept a very short forward stride and also marginally straighter, which has allowed him to handle the short balls better.Kohli and the outside-off-stump lineIf anyone has an elephants memory in international cricket, it has to be the bowlers clan. Two years ago, Virat Kohli had his share of problems against the outside-off line in England and that has prompted the same line of attack in Visakhapatnam too. In the first session, there was not a single ball the England fast bowlers bowled within the stumps. England either tried bouncers or kept the ball fairly outside off throughout. Such tactics dont test a batsmans technique, they test another important facet of batting in Tests - patience. Kohli has been up to the challenge thus far. The first shooter on the first dayKohli went back to a ball, from Moeen Ali in the 50th over, that was reasonably short but the ball kept really low. Kohli did well to get bat on ball and therefore no damage was done as the ball took the toe of the bat and went to the fine-leg boundary for four. But that was the first sign of uneven bounce on this surface. It will be interesting to observe if and when the balls start bouncing alarmingly too.Right hand dominatingThe coaching manual says that batting is all about the top hand. Its the top hand that dominates and the bottom hand that guides, especially for shots off the front foot through the off side. Both Pujara and Kohli have used the bottom hand to good effect, even to the front-foot shots through the covers and mid-off. Why and how? Well, the slower nature of the pitches in the subcontinent dictates that batsmen are forced to generate their own pace, and to do that its imperative to use the bottom hand more often. The flip side of allowing the bottom hand to dominate is that the ball goes in the air from time to time and to counter it, both these batsmen have stayed low and transferred the weight at the right time.The real Indian pitchThis is a proper Indian pitch with smaller blocks running through the 22 yards. Theres only a sprinkling of dry-cut grass, which is unlikely to keep the track together. On such pitches, the cracks dont open up but crumble as the match progresses. Also, the footmarks are likely to make their appearance felt early in the game. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Jeff-Heath-Jersey/ . -- Former San Diego Chargers safety Paul Oliver was found dead at his Atlanta-area home Tuesday night, and a medical examiner said Wednesday that the ex-player committed suicide. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Damien-Wilson-Jersey/ .Y. - General manager Billy King says the Brooklyn Nets are looking to add a big man and confirmed the team worked out centre Jason Collins, who would become the first openly gay active NBA player if signed. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Tyrone-Crawford-Jersey/ . The third-ranked Ivanovic, who won the event in 2008 and 10, served five aces and broke Wickmayer, also a former winner in 2009, five times.

LONDON -- Serena Williams keeps making so much history, its a little difficult to keep up.After she beat Angelique Kerber 7-5, 6-3 in Saturdays Wimbledon womens singles final, here are five of her biggest accomplishments:Grand Slam titlesThis major victory will have felt good. Having lost both the Australian Open and French Open finals this year -- with Kerber beating her in Melbourne -- Serena now has that elusive 22nd Grand Slam to draw level in the Open era record books with Steffi Graf.Williams is joint-second all time, trailing only Margaret Court (24), and you wouldnt put it past her to overhaul that record before she hangs up her racket.Serena is now also tied with Graf in second place for most Wimbledon singles titles in the Open era, having claimed her seventh by beating Kerber. Only Martina Navratilova, with nine, has more, and it is feasible Serena could equal or beat that.Grand Slam match winsWith her seven victories at these championships, Serena now has the second-most major match wins in the Open era (304), having overtaking Chris Evert (299).She will likely leapfrog Navratilova (306) into first place on that list at the US Open later this summer.The American is first among active players and third overall in the Open era when it comes to singles wins at The Championships with 86. She is behind only Navratilova (120) and Evert (96), though Billie Jean King had 95 wins, with 65 in the Open era.Age is just a numberSerena was already the oldest woman to win a major in the Open era. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Randy-White-Jersey/. Now she has extended that record to 34 years and 287 days.Britains Charlotte Sterry holds the record for being Wimbledons oldest womens singles champion of all time, winning the title in 1908 at 37 years and 282 days.Williams has also extended her own record for the longest winning span between majors of any woman in the Open era to 16 years and 10 months, having won her maiden Grand Slam at the 1999 US Open.Best in the worldSerena has now spent 177 straight weeks at No. 1 in the rankings, having held the spot since Feb. 18, 2013. It is the second-longest streak in WTA history behind Grafs 186 -- a record Serena will tie if she is still at the top at the end of US Open.She has won nine majors since turning 30, six more than any other woman in the Open era. Court and Navratilova had three each; King and Evert two each; Ann Jones, Virginia Wade, Li Na and Flavia Pennetta one each.Show me the moneySerena has the most career prize money in WTA history, extending her winnings from $77,564,981 to $80,154,981.Maria Sharapova is second-highest on the list with $38.6 million but is unlikely to come close to catching the American, having been handed a two-year suspension after testing positive for meldonium at the Australian Open in January this year.
