Kane Williamson said the fourth victory of his captaincy will go down as one of
the great Test wins, after New Zealand claimed nine wickets in the final session
to seal a 138-run win.
Mike Shannon Jersey . A draw had appeared the
most likely result for most of day five, and although New Zealand had gone
wicketless with the first new ball, they claimed six scalps with the second -
Pakistan losing the last four wickets for one run, in the space of 14
balls.Pakistan had also lost Sarfraz Ahmed to a run out shortly before the
second new ball was due. The wicket of Sarfraz was a big moment, but I guess
when you take nine wickets in a session, they are all pretty big moments,
Williamson said. It all happens pretty quickly. With the new ball around the
corner, we thought if we could open up an end, and get a new batsman out to face
the new ball, we would be in with a slim sniff. The feeling at tea time and now
is pretty contrasting. This will go down as a great Test victory. For it to
completely flip-turn was something pretty sudden, certainly.Williamson suggested
Pakistans collapse had not been spurred by any cataclysmic shifts on strategy on
New Zealands part. With the visitors having batted the first four hours of the
day without losing a wicket, it was assumed that the Hamilton pitch had lost its
sting.That surface was pretty good for batting, Williamson said. That certainly
showed when first new ball didnt do a huge amount. They batted very well and we
werent able pick up those early wickets. Only thing we could do was stick with
it and try and control the game. To get that breakthrough - which took a long
time - we did have to stay patient.New Zealand had given themselves 101 overs to
bowl Pakistan out, after declaring late on the fourth day. With 369 needed for
victory in the fourth innings, Pakistan had also had incentive to attempt the
chase, as they were trailing in the series.If you look back to yesterday and
discussions around declaration in terms of giving the opposition an opportunity
to track down the total and play a few shots - that perhaps worked in our
favour, Williamson said. It was a big target. To chase it down, you have to play
very well. They were getting themselves into a position - nowadays, with T20
cricket, you give yourselves 30 overs and think about what you can chase. That
seemed to be how they were taking down the total.Where we were really good in
those first two sessions is keeping the run rate down below two. It kept pushing
the required rate up a bit higher, and made them go hard a bit earlier. That
presented us with a few opportunities. Pakistan are a very good side who know
how to bat time, so perhaps we were fortunate to get nine in the last
session.The 2-0 victory means New Zealand will now move into the remainder of
their seven-Test home summer with some confidence. They had suffered four
consecutive Test losses before this series had begun.It was going to be a big
challenge coming home from India and a tough series against South Africa. The
guys picked themselves up, Williamson said. I suppose we went back to the
drawing board with how wed like to play our cricket at home. Sometimes the
baggage from previous results can be tough to get past, but the guys were
fantastic. They had a couple of days off and they came back fresh, raring to go.
Theyre all looking forward to a big home summer.
Carlos Martinez Jersey . -- Josh Sterk scored
once and set up two more as the Oshawa Generals edged the visiting Belleville
Bulls 3-2 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action.
St. Louis Cardinals T-shirts . The Vikings
announced Thursday that Priefer will be one of seven holdovers from the previous
staff, along with offensive line coach Jeff Davidson, wide receivers coach
George Stewart and others. Norv Turner will mark his 30th year of coaching in
the NFL as the offensive co-ordinator, as widely reported for weeks, and George
Edwards will be the defensive co-ordinator.

. He just needed to be his best twisting, turning acrobatic self. "I didnt need
to be anybody else, I just needed to be myself and be aggressive," said Burks,
who scored a career-high 34 points to spark the Utah Jazz to a 118-103 victory
over the Denver Nuggets on Monday night. EDMONTON, Alberta -- The Oilers will
feature something old and something new when they host the Tampa Bay Lightning
on Saturday night.The old: Coach Todd McLellan has reunited NHL leading scorer
Connor McDavid (39 points) with Milan Lucic (22 points) and Jordan Eberle (23
points) as the Oilers No. 1 line. That trio was together at the start of the
season and has been brought back together. McDavid has just one point in his
last three games; Eberle is pointless in his last two. So, this move is about
recharging players the Oilers need to score.Hes (McDavid) a fun player to play
with, said Eberle. I think were just trying to find some chemistry again. I
think we started off the season pretty well and weve played a lot together. We
know each others tendencies and it should be good.The new: The Oilers called up
Taylor Beck from their AHL affiliate in Bakersfield, Calif; Beck leads the AHL
in scoring, with 30 points so far this season.Hell probably play in the bottom
six, but hes a big body that protects pucks well and, right now, hes got it
going offensively at that level, said McLellan. It doesnt always parlay into the
National Hockey League level, but he feels good about his game offensively, and
the other side of the puck as well.The Oilers have lost five out of their last
seven, but three of those defeats have come in either overtime or the shootout.
Getting a couple of extra goals into the lineup could mean a lot to a team that
plays a lot of close games.The Oilers also had the luxury of three off days
since Tuesdays 3-1 loss to the red-hot Columbbus Blue Jackets.
Tim McCarver Cardinals Jersey. .Were fresh,
were energized and we got to polish some things up, said McLellan.While the
Oilers have had some time to rest, the NHL schedule maker hasnt been kind to the
Lightning. The team won in Calgary on Wednesday night. But, instead of making
the easy trip north to Edmonton, the Lightning got on the 90-minute flight to
Vancouver, lost 4-2 to the Canucks Friday night, then have to jet back to
Alberta to face the Oilers Saturday.Zig-zagging makes a tough trip through
Western Canada even tougher. As well, Nikita Kucherov is day-to-day with a
lower-body injury. He missed Wednesdays win over Calgary and Fridays loss to
Vancouver. Kucherov leads the Lightning with 30 points. With sniper Steven
Stamkos out long-term, the Lightning are piecing together their offensive
pieces.Left winger Ondrej Palat also missed the Vancouver game after suffering
an undisclosed injury against Calgary.Were on an unfortunate run of late, coming
down with our injuries, said Lightning coach Jon Cooper. If theres ever a time
for guys to step up, its right now.Weve got to get our strength here, because
were playing an Edmonton team that hasnt played since Tuesday.Defenseman Anton
Stralman said it will be up to the blueliners to be the ones who do that
stepping up.It doesnt matter how good an offense you have unless you have the
defense to carry out things in the back. We build a lot of offense from our
defending, too.
