Kagiso Rabada commanded respect and Keshav Maharaj sparked curiosity, but Temba Bavuma has crept into Australian hearts as a pint-sized talent with a Midas touch. Odell Beckham Jr Youth Jersey . The ABC called Bavuma the X-factor in South Africas WACA win, with praise for his stoic batting, stunning fielding, surprisingly effective bowling, and continuous quest to seek out a high-five.Everybody loves him at the moment.He is a guy that things seem to happen around, said South Africa coach Russell Domingo.Bavumas fielding first caught international attention last November , when he was substituting for an injured Dale Steyn in Mohali. Bavuma was positioned at short leg when M Vijay inside edged a googly from Imran Tahir to his left. He dived full length to take the catch.Later in the tour Bavuma impressed again when, with the series already lost, he was asked to open the batting in the final Test in Delhi. In an unfamiliar position, Bavuma scored 22 and 34 but spent more than four hours at the crease, longer than his predecessor Stiaan van Zyl had in five innings before he was dropped. That innings showed Bavumas temperament to bat in Test cricket but few outside the team guessed he could bowl at this level too.Temba does a bit of bowling in the nets and everyone is like, Woah, Temba, thats pretty good, Rabada said.Most were pleased to hear that Bavuma can catch Rabadas attention somewhere, because he can be easy to miss on the field. When Rabada bowled Usman Khawaja on the second day of the Perth Test - South Africas first wicket after Steyn had left the field with a broken shoulder - Bavuma waited and waited for his chance to congratulate Rabada. Eventually, it needed a tap on the shoulder before Rabada responded. The video went viral, watched many more times than training footage of South Africas bowling coach Charl Langeveldt in discussion with Bavuma.The conversation - which Langeveldt later said was about using the seam - hinted that Bavuma might be called on to make up for some of Steyns absence. Australias batsmen must have been looking forward to the relief. At 1.61 metres tall, with only 200 first-class balls to his name before the Test, how dangerous could Bavuma really be?Dangerous enough to hit a crack, move back in and hit Usman Khawaja plumb in front of leg. Had Bavuma not overstepped, he could have been only the 21st bowler in Test cricket to take a wicket with his first ball. That his delivery stride occupies the entire area from the bowling crease to the popping crease will only add to his budding cult aura. The beamer that unsettled Josh Hazlewood the ball before Bavuma claimed his first Test wicket delighted his team-mates and the small WACA crowd.For all the fun of his on-field heroics, Bavuma himself was ultra-serious in his analysis when he spoke to ABC. I was obviously quite disappointed at that. Weve spoken long and hard about no no-balls, he said. As one of the batters who keeps on shouting at the bowlers for a no-ball, obviously its not a great thing. I was happy to get a chance to bowl and things went decently (after that).Domingo confirmed Bavuma was similarly critical about his half-century in the first innings, knowing the responsibility he had in the middle order. He will be the first to say he is disappointed that he didnt kick on after getting fifty, Domingo said. He played really beautifully in that first innings and held it together for us. He is still learning but he is a good kid and a great asset for our team.The Australian newspaper agreed, calling Bavuma a competitive and wily cricketer. For South Africans to see their players being so warmly embraced at what was once seen as among the most hostile places to tour, is a reassurance that the stresses of last summer may be overcome after all. For them to see their players of colour - long suspected of being included in squads to make up numbers - attract so much admiration and awe is another reassurance that this time, crickets efforts to embrace change could be genuine, that opportunities are being provided to the right people, and that they are taking them, making names and winning hearts. Cleveland Browns Jerseys .C. -- Al Jefferson joked that he feels he can score from anywhere on the court. Bernie Kosar Jersey . The Canadian squad, skipped by Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg, got on the board first with two in the second end, and followed that with two more apiece in the fourth and sixth ends. http:///...-Kosar-Elite-Jersey/ . The 18-year-old American had five birdies in her bogey-free round for a 17-under total of 196. Lee held the overnight lead but mixed three birdies with two bogeys for a 70.TORONTO -- J.P. Arencibia is done with Twitter. The outspoken Toronto Blue Jays catcher tweeted he was leaving the social media website and promptly deleted his account Tuesday morning. "Its unfortunate to see how words are twisted to make false stories," he said in a three-part tweet to some 145,000 followers. "I give way too much of myself to have others try and make me out to (be) something/someone Im not." Arencibia has struggled on the field this season, prompting criticism from both fans and the media. "I will no longer be on twitter," he said. "Thanks to all the fans who support and praying for the others that hate. God bless." Its not the first time Arencibia has responded to his critics. Earlier this month, Arencibia lashed out at Sportsnet analysts Dirk Hayhurst and Gregg Zaun over their negative comments. Batting .219 this season, Arenciibia has made five errors, allowed 34 stolen bases and 10 passed balls. Greedy Williams Youth Jersey. The Jays have also struggled and sit last in the American League East, 13.5 games back with a 45-53 record entering play Tuesday night. They were hammered 14-5 by the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night. His decision to leave social media prompted an immediate reaction on Twitter. "Really sad (at)jparencibia9 shut down his account. Used twitter for a lot of good, touched a lot of special kids lives," one tweet said. The next post expressed a different sentiment. "(at)jparencibia9 YOU SUCK, no one likes u," said the tweet. The timing of Arencibias announcement was curious as it came on "Tweeting Tuesday," a Blue Jays promotion that gives followers the "opportunity to interact and communicate with the Blue Jays and their fans while watching the game."
