Hampshire 304 for 4 (Dawson 116, Wheater 89*, Alsop 50) v WarwickshireScorecard Liam Dawson, an England matchwinner last week, rallied to his countys cause as Hampshire enjoyed a welcome day of prosperity as they again try to find a way to preserve their Division One place. Marek Hrivik Jersey . The skills required to influence an international T20 differ hugely from those demanded by four-day Championship cricket but confidence is a transferable factor whatever the discipline.The 26-year-old allrounder made his mark with the ball as England beat Sri Lanka, taking 3 for 27 on his senior international debut on his home Southampton ground. His impact on the first day here was with the bat, where his first century of the season helped Hampshire reach a strong position. Called up for England Lions in between, it has been a good few days for him.Hampshire desperately need a win. They escaped relegation by two points last season and went into this match at the bottom of the Division One table, 23 points from safety. Win here, though, and they might have a chance of beating the drop again. Nottinghamshire, whom they meet at Trent Bridge next month, have played two matches more. Moreover, it was by winning at Trent Bridge on the last day that Hampshire clinched survival.On a flat pitch on which he may have an important role to play with the ball as the match progresses, Dawson encountered few difficult moments until he was out, struck in front by Keith Barker not long after Warwickshire had taken the second new ball, playing across one that shaped back in. Having faced precisely 200 balls, he had hit 13 fours and one six, coming out best in a prolonged battle with Jeetan Patel, Warwickshires canny offspinner.Its a pretty flat pitch but you still have to get the runs and Im happy to have helped put us in with a chance of making a big score, Dawson said.Playing for England in a T20 is very different from four-day cricket and although you gain confidence from playing well in any format I find red-ball cricket harder, to be honest. It is a test of concentration over long periods so it is very pleasing to come out with a hundred today.Dawson shared partnerships of 81 with 20-year-old Tom Alsop for the third wicket and 155 with Adam Wheater for the fourth. Wheater closed unbeaten on 89 and after pulling Barker for a meaty six and might have completed a century of his own had the dismissal of Dawson not forced him to switch to conservation mode for the days closing overs.The left-hander Alsop, playing in only his ninth first-class match, completed an attractive fifty before failing in his attempt to attack Josh Poysden, Warwickshires rookie legspinner, the ball flying off the top edge to Patel at mid-off as he tried to hit over midwicket.The runs added by the three combined made up for a somewhat stodgy start by Hampshire, who had crawled to just 63 from almost 28 overs after winning the toss and electing to bat first. Jimmy Adams, in particular, found it hard to make progress against Patel, who was bowling from as early as the sixth over and opened with four consecutive maidens.Adams had flicked a ball from Barker off his legs for four in the first over of the match but thereafter scored only two more runs from 76 deliveries. He then drew ironic applause from spectators by hitting consecutive boundaries off Patel, only to be out in the next over, driving straight to Ian Bell at midwicket.Like Hampshire, third-placed Warwickshire have gone in with two spinners in an unchanged side from the one that beat Surrey handsomely at Guildford last week, when Patel took five wickets in each innings.It was particularly unfortunate, then, that they should lose fast bowler Boyd Rankin after the Irishman was forced off the field with a back problem after bowling just one over, leaving Barker and Rikki Clarke as their only pace options. Warwickshire are hopeful that Rankin will be fit to bowl in the second innings.Hampshire have not many fast bowlers fit even to be considered for selection. Ryan McLaren has joined James Tomlinson, Reece Topley, Fidel Edwards, Chris Wood and Ryan Stevenson among six currently sidelined, while Tino Best has been left out to be kept fresh for the critical fixture against Surrey at the Ageas Bowl next week. Miikka Kiprusoff Jersey . Denis Coderre, the former federal MP who was elected mayor on Nov. 3, has drawn the ire of some Montreal Canadiens. During last nights game he tweeted: "Hello? Can we get a one-way ticket to (minor-league) Hamilton for David Desharnais please. Freddie Hamilton Jersey . -- If Henry Burris has his way, he will be the starting quarterback to lead the Hamilton Tiger-Cats back to the Grey Cup next year. http:///...stajan+flames+jersey .Y. -- Jayna Hefford scored the winning goal Friday as Canada survived a scare with a 4-3 win over Sweden at the Four Nations womens hockey tournament. GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Mike McCarthy came out in full defense of his players, his coaches and his own track record the day after his Green Bay Packers lost 47-25?on the road against the Tennessee Titans.The 11th-year head coach spoke strongly on all accounts less than 24 hours after Sundays loss dropped the Packers to 4-5. They have lost three straight and four of their last five.Lets just state the facts: Im a highly successful NFL head coach, McCarthy said Monday as part of answer that lasted 2? minutes. With that, Ive never looked at the ride to this point as smooth or whatever the words you used. To me, its always bumpy, and to me thats the joy of it. Thats this game. Thats how hard it is in the NFL. Really, what you did last year or 2010, as we know, doesnt factor.Other than 2013, when quarterback Aaron Rodgers missed seven games because of a broken collarbone, the Packers have their worst record after nine games since Rodgers first year as a starter, when they went 6-10 in 2008. Thats also the last time they missed the playoffs.If there are going to be changes around Lambeau Field this week, they apparently wont come from McCarthy, who has a 108-60-1 record in the regular season and has led the Packers to the playoffs each of the past seven years.Im not into shock and awe, or [a] torch the landscape-type person, McCarthy said. Im a builder. Im a developer. Ive said that since the first day I arrived here. You build a program, culture is what makes it go, you have to invest in that culture every single day, and thats my big-picture focus.The Packers remain just one game behind the NFC North co-leaders, Detroit and Minnesota, and still play both of them again, in the final two weeks of the season. The Packers have a 9-12 record, including playoffs, in their past 21 games, and some of the same issues that dogged them last season have returned. They have allowed at least 30 points in four of their past five games. Sean Monahan Jersey. According to Elias, no Packers team has done that since 1953.Offensively, Rodgers hasnt played up to his MVP level, and the Packers havent had any semblance of a consistent running game since Eddie Lacy went on injured reserve because of an ankle injury last month.People outside of our room dont feel really good about the now, McCarthy said. Personally, I enjoy these type of moments. I think this is kind of how my life has gone professionally. Thats just a personal thought. This is about our team, and I trust and believe in what we do every day -- what they do on the practice field, the conversations in the room, the conversations during the game, the reaction to the tough moments.The Packers got off to a miserable start for the second straight game. A week after they allowed the Indianapolis Colts to return the opening kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown, the Packers defense let DeMarco Murray score on a 75-yard touchdown run on the Titans first play from scrimmage. The Titans scored touchdowns on their first four drives of the game, and five of their first six.Every week theres a different twist and turn youre not going to see coming, and how you handle that is important, McCarthy said. We didnt handle that very well [Sunday]. ... When a guys wide open or he runs 75 yards unabated for a touchdown, something when wrong there. I mean, something obviously went wrong there.So thats what we need to learn from and improve on. So twists and turns definitely werent handled properly by us, but thats yesterday. If you need to learn big-picture stuff, thats all there in front of you. I really dont spend a lot of time on that. Im into the now, and it makes our players stay into the now and improve.
