Fernando Alonso is sure there is more to come from McLaren after the opening day
of practice for the Austrian Grand Prix.
Puma Basket Heart
Patent .Alonso finished 11th in FP2, one place behind teammate
Jenson Button, in a session disrupted by rain. The pecking order is still
unclear going in to Saturday and Alonso is convinced the team will be more
competitive come qualifying on Saturday.?Theres more to come from us because
today was just a test day, Alonso said. There were new parts to try, some worked
in a positive way, others didnt work that well, so when well put the best parts
in the car on Saturday I think we can be quite competitive. Im quite happy with
the way today went, all in all.Alonso was running a revised McLaren rear wing on
Friday and he says the day was useful for aerodynamic tests, although its data
was restricted by the afternoon shower.We learned less than on a normal Friday
because we had less track time, but it was the same for everyone. But we still
did quite a few tests, with new aerodynamic parts on top of the normal tyre
testing, so now it will be a matter of analysing all the work we did with both
cars and choose the best solutions for tomorrow and Sunday.In the end we
completed the entire program with the exception of the long run with the
ultrasoft tyres, because of the time lost to the rain, so tomorrow morning well
do a few laps with a heavy fuel load - Im sure other teams will do the same - to
learn a bit more.

. Down by seven with 90 seconds left in regulation, thats where they looked
comfortable. Just for little while, it seemed the almost impossible was becoming
the merely unlikely.As Alastair Cook and Haseeb Hameed resisted for 50 overs, it
seemed England really might be able to defy India in the sort of conditions
English players grow up to fear. The last 10 overs - and most of all, that last
ball - were a harsh way to wake from the dream.This has been an odd game.
Whatever happens on the final day - and victory for India remains highly likely
- England will leave Visakhapatnam encouraged by their performance. There seems
every chance that this will turn out to be that most British of things: a
heartening defeat. Really, it might be the most heartening defeat for years.Why?
Because theyve proved (to themselves as much as any of us watching) that they
can compete in such conditions. Theyve shown that they have the character and
skill to cope with losing the toss and playing against good bowlers in turning
conditions. And, just as importantly, theyve shown they can claw their way back
into games from unpromising situations. You could make a strong argument that
they have had the best of days three and four. Its just the damage inflicted on
days one and two was too deep.They have learned several useful lessons, too.
They have learned, or been reminded, they cannot afford even half a bad session
in such circumstances. So the loss of their first five first-innings wicket
before the end of the second evening - a couple of them to somewhat soft strokes
- was a setback from which they have never been allowed to recover. The footwork
has to be more certain; the techniques more solid. They cannot afford a bad hour
here.And, while there are no easy answers to dealing with Virat Kohli - he has
looked magnificent in this series - England will reflect on the chance he
offered when on 56 in the first innings and know that, had they been better
organised and had a better fielder than Adil Rashid in position for the hook
trap, the whole complexion of this game might have been different. It was a
fleeing moment, certainly, but that may well prove to be as good an opportunity
as England find in this series. If they are going to win, they have to seize
such moments.They may rue the tenth-wicket stand of 42 they conceded on Sunday,
too. A target of 363 in 160 overs would, perhaps, have been scarcely less
daunting in practical terms. But in terms of morale? Final-wicket stands drain
and dispirit like little else. While England hardly bowled a poor delivery in
the first 100 minutes or so of the day, when they took six for 64, they may
reflect that, just for a few minutes, they then allowed their concentration to
drift and were punished for it.Generally, though, since Jonny Bairstow and Ben
Stokes resumed on the third morning, there has been much to admire about this
England performance. Stuart Broad has never bowled better in India, Rashid has
never bowled better in Test cricket and, for all the praise lavished upon Indias
spinners, Rashid and Moeen Ali have better bowling averages and strike rates
than R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja at this stage in the series.But perhaps it was
the performance of Hameed that provided most cause for encouragement. For the
second Test in succession, Hameed demonstrated a calm temperament in an
unhurried display that belied his 19-years. It took an almost impossible ball,
one that kept horribly low, to dismiss him.These were desperately tough
circummstances for Hameed.
Fenty Puma Velvet Creepers. On a pitch
offering turn and, most pertinently, variable bounce, he was tested in just
about every way a batsman can be tested. Indias seamers examined his discomfort
against the short ball and Indias spinners examined his ability to play the
turning ball.His struggles against short-pitched bowlingt will have had fast
bowlers around the world taking note. Whatever he achieves in the next few
weeks, it is inevitable now that Hameed will be on the receiving end of many
bouncers when he comes up against West Indies, South Africa and Australia. And
they will almost always be directed at him on quicker, livelier tracks than
this.There was talk of this potential weakness before he arrived in India. He
was troubled by Surreys fast bowlers (Stuart Meaker and Mark Footitt) in the
English summer and by Taskin Ahmed in Bangladesh.Here he was struck on the hand
by the first delivery he faced - he later received treatment on his little
finger, but the England camp played down any serious damage - after taking his
eye off a fine, head-high bouncer from Mohammed Shami and took two more
deliveries in the rib area. He wore a chest guard in this innings, but he may
have a bruise or two for the rest of this week.But, whether he had been hit or
not, he was right back in line for the next delivery. And whether hit or not, he
was right forward to the next delivery as required. Theres no question of
courage with Hameed, he is just learning to deal with that line of attack. The
challenge confronting him might be compared to that confronting Ben Stokes and
spin. Stokes overcame that challenge; how Hameed manages may well define how far
he progresses in international cricket.There were, in all, nine deliveries that
might reasonably be described as bouncers directed at Hameed. While his
inclination seems to be to sway out of the way, he also ducked once and played
the ball from in front of his face straight into the ground on other occasions.
Short-leg was never in business and the two men out for the hook seemed utterly
redundant. It was painful, but he survived.The manner in which he dealt with
spin was even more impressive. Having been dismissed in Rajkot by Ashwin bowling
around the wicket, he has resolved to watch the ball harder and be even more
precise in his foot movement. He leaves the ball well outside off stump and gets
further forward than most to smother the spin.While other batsmen - and not just
young batsmen - might have become uncomfortable with the slow rate of scoring,
Hameed looked supremely unworried. And while other batsmen might have allowed
the match situation to play on their mind, Hameed seemed to enjoy the prospect
of five sessions of crease occupation. Where else would he rather be?Every day,
in every way (it was Hameed who was most insistent that England should utilise
their review which resulted in KL Rahul being given out) he seems to be growing
more comfortable with this level and the environment of the England team. This
was a terrifically tough day and he came through it bruised but unbowed. It was
another step forward in his development.It is for such reasons that, whatever
happens on Monday, England will leave Visakhapatnam with spirits and heads high.
They are learning and improving all the time.
