ZAGREB, Croatia -- Leaving behind two injury-hit years, Juan Martin del Potro is looking to cap his successful comeback by leading Argentina to its first Davis Cup title. Austin Pruitt Jersey .The 2009 U.S. Open champion said host Croatia is the favorite in the best-of-five series, but believes Argentina is in a strong position after losing in four Davis Cup finals since 1981.Croatia has a very strong team, but we are looking forward to a very good weekend, Del Potro said. They are playing at home on a favorite (fast indoor) surface. But, I also like fast surfaces.Federico Delbonis will start Argentinas quest for the title by playing Fridays opening singles match against Marin Cilic. Thursdays draw also pits del Potro against big-serving Ivo Karlovic, who returned to Croatias team after a four-year absence.In the doubles, the Croatian pair of Ivan Dodig and Franko Skugor will face Leonardo Mayer and Gaudio Pella. Reverse singles are scheduled for Sunday.If I win, it will be a bit less pressure on Ivo and a bit more pressure on Delpo, Cilic said. Im feeling quite positive.Argentina is the only nation in the Davis Cups 116-year history which has reached four finals without winning the title. Croatia, targeting its second Davis Cup title after beating Slovakia in the final in 2005, will be led by an in-form Cilic, who has reached a career-best year-end ranking of No. 6.We are hoping that this long quest for the cup title will come to an end, del Potro said. This is a very different team we have since the last finals, new players, new team captain (Daniel Orsanic). Hopefully, a different result as well.The 37-year-old Karlovic will be the oldest player in the Davis Cup final in nearly a century. The towering Croat said he hopes to have short points and many aces in the match against del Potro.I will try to evade long exchanges, he is better in long points, Karlovic said. More aces I serve, less able Delpo will be able to win.Croatia team captain Zeljko Krajan had to make a last minute change to his roster, leaving youngster Borna Coric out because of his recent knee surgery. Coric was replaced by doubles specialist Skugor.It was a very tough decision, Krajan said. Unfortunately, he is not fully fit to play long matches. Guillermo Heredia Rays Jersey .

Chasing 273 to win, England collapsed dramatically in the final session on day three, losing all 10 wickets for 64 runs in succumbing to a 108-run defeat.They had been well placed at 100-0 at tea, with Ben Duckett notching a first Test fifty, and Cook himself went through to a half century after the interval while wickets tumbled around him. Today we showed our inexperience in these conditions, said Cook. A lot of these guys have not played many Test matches over here and when that ball got rolling we found it very hard to stop. Highlights of day three of the second Test between Bangladesh and England in Dhaka I was out there for a lot of it as well and I couldnt stop that ball. Ive played a bit of cricket in the sub-continent, and Ive found these two games particularly tough.The first 20, 30 balls are so difficult to start with - theres pressure, men round the bat, the crowd get into it, and its a very unique pressure.Plus youve got one ball skidding on and then the next one ragging past your stumps. It will have opened a lot of the guys eyes to that.The top order have struggled, we cant hide from that. But what was really pleasing today though, was the way Duckett played. Englands Ben Duckett (right) impressed Cook before the batting collapse in the evening session on day three It has been incredibly tough for him. Ive been around the bblock a bit, but he said to me, Ive never opened the batting before against two spinners. Brandon Lowe Jersey. uddenly you have to do it on big turning pitches, and its hard work - today you saw the way hed have loved to have played all series. He probably worked out his method a little bit more, and it was really good to see.After the Dhaka defeat, Cook also called for improvement from his spinners ahead of the five-match Test series with India which begins on Wednesday, November 9.Were not blessed at the moment with a world-class spinner, said Cook. Weve got to make do with the best weve got. England coach Trevor Bayliss has berated too many missed chances as England fell to a 108-run loss in the second Test Our spinners have to try to hold a length better. Hopefully that can happen with a lot of hard work.I thought Zafar Ansari improved as the game went on. He was a little bit nervous, understandably so for the first game of his Test career, but he got better and bowled really well today.He could have taken six-for quite easily if we had taken our chances. Today, we should have been chasing 230. Those half chances need to stick in low scoring games. Adil Rashid bowled well at the end to take four wickets and Moeen Ali was good in the first innings.There are glimpses of the right stuff, though there is improvement to be made.Watch highlights of day three of the second Test between Bangladesh and England on Sky Sports 5 at 5pm, then stay tuned for the Verdict at 6pm on the same channel.
