The first-over wicket Talk about throwing a kid to the wolves. Matthew OConnor Senators Jersey . Avishka Fernando, 18, entered this match without having played any senior cricket at all - that is, no first-class, List A or domestic T20 matches. He had impressed for Sri Lankas Under-19s, but walking out to open against Mitchell Starc is quite another matter. Especially given Starcs record of striking in the first over of an innings. Fernando blocked his first ball but was trapped lbw from his second by a quick inswinger. It meant that for the fifth time from 10 innings across the Tests and ODIs on this trip, Starc had made a breakthrough in the first over of the innings.The Pereras Three Pereras - Kusal, Thisara and Dilruwan - played in the earlier matches of this series, but Sri Lankas selectors decided they still didnt have enough. And so for the fourth ODI in Dambulla, they decided a fourth Perera in Angelo was necessary. Just to confuse matters further, they batted respectively at Nos. 6, 7, 8 and 10, which meant that often a pair of Pereras batted together, and sometimes one replaced another. For the record, 12 Pereras have played first-class cricket in Sri Lanka in the past year, so there is scope for an entire team of Pereras, plus one to carry the drinks. A policy of one Perera per era would make things much simpler.The rough time Glancing at the scorecard will reveal nothing of what Angelo Mathews went through in scoring his 40 from 71 deliveries. On 2, Mathews ducked into a bouncer from Scott Boland and was struck on the helmet, the protective flaps flying off on impact. He needed a few minutes to compose himself and receive some treatment from the physio, but Mathews batted on. Then when he was on 6, Mathews pushed a single to mid-off and had to duck to avoid the fielders throw that whacked him in the head again. Finally, on 28, Mathews clipped one to leg and took off for a single, injuring his right calf in the process. He limped off the field to retire hurt. Mathews hobbled back out there near the end of the innings to add 12 more runs, and was the last man out from the sixth ball of the 50th over.The drop It wasnt easy, but it was costly. The eighth ball of Australias innings was lofted down the ground by Aaron Finch off Amila Aponso. Thisara Perera misjudged a chance to take the catch at mid-on, having to backtrack at the last minute and thrust his hand over his head. The dropped chance came with Finch on 4. He went on to equal the record for the fastest ODI fifty by an Australian, and ended up with 55 off 19 balls.The no-ball At 131 for 3 and with Australia speeding along at more than nine an over, Sri Lanka needed wickets. Dilruwan Perera duly obliged, bowling Travis Head with an arm ball. But umpire Michael Gough asked the batsman to wait while a potential no-ball was checked. And indeed, Dilruwan had overstepped. The first no-ball of the series came four matches in, from a spinner, from a ball that took a wicket. Ouch. Derick Brassard Jersey . The mixed zone is not a place to make friends. Dion Phaneuf Jersey . Barcelonas entertaining victory ensured the defending Spanish champions retained their share of the league lead with Atletico Madrid two rounds ahead of their meeting in the capital. Real Madrid needed a late goal by substitute Jese Rodriguez to earn a 3-2 victory at Valencia to stay in third place and three points behind its title rivals. http://www.hockeysenatorsonline.us/kyle-turris-hockey-jersey/ . Reassurance came from Paul Tesori, his caddie and close friend whose newborn son is in intensive care in a Florida hospital. "Paul sent me a text this morning, just told me he loved me and wanted to go out and fight as hard as I would any other day," Simpson said Sunday after doing just that.NEW YORK -- Braves outfielder Jason Heyward is back in the lineup after missing six games with a right hamstring injury, and starting pitcher Paul Maholm has been placed on the 15-day disabled list because of a bruised left wrist. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez has Heyward batting second and playing centre field Monday night against the New York Mets. Usually a right fielder, Heyward shifted to centre for his first game since July 11 because B.J. Upton is on the DL with a muscle strain in his right leg. Upton ran for the first time since his injury. Still, Gonzalez said Upton wont be ready to come off the DL when he is eligible this weekend. Heyward was on a hot streak before he was hurt, hitting .290 (42 for 145) with five homers and 13 RBIs in 36 games since June 3. "Really happy I didnt have to go on the DL. Happy it healed like it has," Heyward said, "and now I can get back to helping my teeam out. Erik Karlsson Senators Jersey. " Gonzalez was comfortable putting Heyward in centre because he said the 6-foot-5 23-year-old played right field with the range of a centre fielder. Gonzalez also had shifted Justin Upton to right field when Heyward was out, allowing him to give more playing time to rookie Evan Gattis. Maholm initially injured the wrist while batting in his start at Miami on July 10. He walked off the mound Saturday after aggravating it in the fourth inning against the Chicago White Sox. Maholm flew back to Atlanta Sunday and had an MRI. "It was swelling and it was hurting him," Gonzalez said. Gonzalez thinks Maholm would only miss two starts. Alex Wood will start Thursday in the series finale against the Mets. Wood made his only other major league start against the Mets on June 18 in the opener of a doubleheader. The rookie has made 16 appearances and has a 2.45 ERA over 22 innings.
