Surrey 329 (Burns 101, Wheal 4-100) and 248 for 3 (Sangakkara 84*, Harinath 57)drew with Hampshire 582 for 9 dec (Ervine 158*, Alsop 117, McLaren 100, Footitt 6-161)Scorecard Liam Dawsons big chance seemed tailor made. Yeezy Boost 350 v2 Goedkoop . His one over on the third evening, according to Sean Ervine, had both gripped and turned. The greenish pitch, as it has been at The Oval all year, was barer at each end. Ten Surrey wickets to take, to prove that he is not merely a part-timer (that most pointed of cricketing barbs) and his readiness to tour Asia with England, which he seems ever more likely to do, despite his modest returns. Whats more, for a cricketer constantly sold as a great team man, here was a chance to spin Hampshire to a win that would propel them to fifth.James Vince - who confirmed that he has not had talks with Essex, and that the first he had heard of this was when someone tweeted him - agreed. Dawson bowled the Vauxhall Ends first 23 overs of the day, then, after a two-over trundle from Will Smith, returned to bowl 12 more, before rain brought a draw - that ensures Surreys Division One status - a few minutes early. Hampshire have a week off, and need a favour from Surrey - who play Durham at Chester-le-Street - to ensure that their season remains alive when they host Durham on September 20.For Dawson, it all started so well. His fifth over of the day saw one grip, turn and take Rory Burns inside edge; Tom Alsop, a very fine short leg, dived forward to take a smart catch. He had his 15th wicket of the season, but all that followed was plenty of frustration.Dawson did as Dawson does. He wheeled away, finding some - albeit slow - turn from the footmarks, which sat wide. There were chances, but the outside edge was seldom beaten, and funky bounce only appeared late in the day. Kumar Sangakkara, who batted as beautifully as ever, cover drove him to the fence every time he overpitched, but four of them in 83 balls hardly seems a disaster. Parsimony and consistency are Dawsons currency, and an economy of 2.63 - a tick under his seasons figure - was testimony to that, but there is no mystery and little magic.England know they are not selecting a man ever likely to rip through a side, even if Joe Root is said to have found him the toughest bowler to score off at nets, and his elevation will come as much thanks to his proficiency batting against spin, as his ability to bowl it. This was Kennington, not Kotla, and what turn there was seemed sluggish, but he troubled all the Surrey batsmen except Sangakkara. Arun Harinath saw a catch loop up into space close on the leg side, while Steven Davies could have been given lbw or caught at slip. With many men round the bat, Dom Sibley did not look comfortable.Daws was very unlucky, said Vince. He bowled accurately with good pace, and looked like creating a lot of chances. He could have had four or five. Vince might have reflected that Mason Crane, Hampshires main spinner, would have been handy, but he was left out due to the green surface on day one. One of Dawsons rivals for an England spot, Gareth Batty, who also found little joy in the surface, agreed with Vinces assessment.He bowled nicely, said Batty. For the last two or three years he has improved tremendously as a spinner. I always thought of him as a batsman who bowls reluctantly, but he bowled 34 or 35 overs today and that is a man who wants to push his skill and his craft forward. Thats brilliant to see. I love seeing people who want to bowl spin. He was a bit unlucky, and the pitch didnt really help him, despite a couple of wide foot holes. That means that the good players get outside the line and snuff out that one area on the pitch. Credit to him, he stuck at it well.While Sibley and Harinath played fine hands before both being brilliantly caught down the legside by Lewis McManus, Sangakkaras was a masterful, controlled innings, full of cuts and flicks, drives and dabs. Late on, he was joined by Davies, another man Surrey are trying to tempt into signing on for next season, for a typically classy cameo that reminded fans of their value. Batty confirmed that talks were ongoing with both, but not resolved.I greatly hope we can get something sorted because they are both very much part of our group and very, very fine players, he said. We are ridiculously lucky to have someone of Kumars standing within the game - not just on skill but how he talks to our young boys… its invaluable.One such young player, Zafar Ansari, looks set to return from injury against Durham, as Surrey - who are the only team bar Nottinghamshire with nothing to play for in the final round - look to cap a remarkable recovery. As ever, there were pointed words for rivals from Batty.Its the manner in which we play our cricket that has pleased me, he said, we havent gone down the route of other sides in rigging surfaces to guarantee results. Weve got big runs and applied pressure. If you are winning games on the surfaces we have played on, you are not a million miles away from having the skills to play international cricket.Whether Dawson now has the skills to play international cricket remains to be seen. Before we find out, with a turning deck expected at the Ageas for the visit of a Wood-and-Stokes bolstered, seam-heavy Durham, he has a huge role to play for Hampshire. Adidas Tennis Hu Kopen . John Tavares, Thomas Vanek and Kyle Okposo were also being counted on to slow down sizzling Rangers forward Rick Nash. That plan didnt go so well early. Yeezy Boost 350 v3 Goedkoop . LUCIE, Fla. http://www.nmdbelgie.com/ . Laudrup revealed Thursday he was notified of his dismissal in "the briefest of letters which gave no reasons why such hasty and final action was deemed necessary. LINCOLN, Neb. -- At Nebraska, where success in basketball has been scant, it helps if the coach has a sense of humor. Thats an area where Tim Miles is not lacking.I think were picked toward the bottom, which is where I like to be, so we can pleasantly surprise all our friends and colleagues in the room today, Miles said at Big Ten media day.The Cornhuskers looked to be on the verge of a breakthrough three years ago when they used a late run to finish fourth in the Big Ten and make the NCAA Tournament. Their follow-up: consecutive losing seasons and 12th- and 11th-place finishes in the conference.The outlook isnt bright for this season, either. The team sustained a major setback in the offseason when its best player, Andrew White III, left in late June and eventually landed at Syracuse. Whites departure, along with the graduation of Shavon Shields, depleted the roster of 33 points and 11 rebounds per game.Nebraska is left with only one double-digit scorer in senior Tai Webster , a promising sophomore class and a cast of newcomers who will have a lot of opportunity to play.The nonconference schedule is ambitious. The Huskers play Atlantic 10 co-champion Dayton, Clemson, in-state rival Creighton and pay a visit to Kansas.Miles said the schedule was put together with the expectation that White would be with the team.Its an elephant, Miles said. We built it thinking this was going to be our strongest, most complete team. Now were minus some outside shooting. It was still going to be a huge challenge.Some things to watch for in Nebraskas 2016-17 season:INJURY ISSUESLouisville transfer Anton Gill and freshman Isaiah Roby got late starts practicing. Gill had a procedure on his knee to alleviate chronic tendinitis, and Roby went into the preseason bothered by a stress reaction in his pelvis area. Freshman center Jordy Tshimanga returned to practice this weeek after missing four days with a mild concussion. Adidas Continental 80 Dames. AN IN THE MIDDLEJordy Tshimanga , a 6-foot-11, 275-pound freshman, gives the Huskers the big man they desperately need. Hell be in the lineup right away. The Montreal native has had no problem fitting in with teammates with his big personality.Hes got the attitude that creates improvement, Miles said. He wants to get better every day. When I say that, its evident. Hell come and ask questions all the time, and not dumb ones; really thoughtful questions. Thats where you see his learning curve is going to be good.FILLING THE SEATS?Nebraska will start its fourth season at Pinnacle Bank Arena, and it will be worth watching if capacity crowds continue to show up. The Huskers are among eight programs to average 15,000 per game over the last three years and were 11th in the nation last season with an average of 15,430. Theyre 8-10 in home Big Ten games the last two years.EVER THE OPTIMISTMiles said there is huge growth potential for his team: Youll see coaches say, `I didnt know if wed get eighth in the league, and they get second in the league. You could say the same about the Huskers in 2014. Nobody thought wed be anything. We were picked 12th, got fourth and made the NCAA. You never know how its going to come together.GOOD RIDDANCE?Whites surprise announcement to transfer caused hard feelings. Nebraskas players apparently have gotten over it, though.Our guys, theyre like, `Youre with us or against us. I like that about them. That didnt come from me, Miles said. Theyre a good group. When they have that ownership, thats when you have your best teams. I expect this team will exceed expectations.---Online:AP college basketball website: http://collegebasketball.ap.org ' ' '
