The hosts took the wind out of Pakistans sails in the 21 overs on day one, said
New Zealand batting coach Craig McMillan, though he remained wary of what could
continue to be a tough pitch.
Wholesale NFL Jerseys . New Zealand had moved
to 77 for 2 in Hamilton after being asked to bat on a lively surface, having
become increasingly confident as the morning wore on. They hit 38 runs in the
six overs preceding the rain that washed out the remainder of the days play.It
was favourable conditions for the bowlers, so I thought the way we played took
the wind out of their sails to be fair, McMillan said. We were very positive and
decisive in that first session. I thought our guys - especially Ross Taylor -
were pretty harsh on any width that was offered up, and he made the most of
it.Taylor remained not out on 29 off 20 balls, cracking six boundaries - five of
those behind square on the offside. It was a particularly important innings for
Taylor, who has not only been in modest form, but has been troubled by a growth
in his left eye over the past week.I thought Ross moved really well today,
McMillan said. Even the first ball that he left - sometimes he doesnt like
leaving the ball. I thought his decision-making was excellent. Sometimes he got
some short wide ones. We know how well he enjoys playing the cut shot, so it was
perfect really.Opener Jeet Raval continued his bright start in Test cricket,
finishing 35 not out off 63 balls. He had been dropped at first slip by Sami
Aslam in the first over, but was largely secure against the right-arm bowlers,
though Mohammad Amir continued to trouble him through the session.He looked
really good today. Always helps when you get dropped in the first over. I
thought it was a quality first over from Mohammad Amir where he asked some
serious questions from the left-handers, McMillan said. But Jeet just showed a
composure that weve seen from him at the level below. Its nice that you can see
him take that step up and see that composure again. Its what weve come to expect
and what we know about him.Really the key for any Test opener is the decision
making. The good thing about this Pakistan bowling attack is that they ask a lot
of questions. We know we have to be precise in the decisions we make at the top
of the order in seamer-friendly conditions. I think hes shown the ability to do
that, and its been great to see.McMillan expected the pitch to be just as tough
upon resumption on day two because it will have been sweating under the covers.
Nevertheless, he said New Zealand had been surprised by Pakistans omission of
Yasir Shah. The visitors chose four quicks instead, perhaps swayed by the colour
of the Hamilton surface, and the wet forecast over the first three days.Yasir is
a world-class bowler, so its good for us, I think, he said. If the game goes
along to five days, youd think that days four and five, a spinner might be
needed and will come into calculations. Theyve decided that he wasnt needed and
they went for the extra fast bowler. Weve got Mitchell Santner on our side, so
weve got pretty much all bases covered.

The Nashville Predators were glad their captain was still on their side. Weber

start and timely baskets down the stretch ended Detroits early season woes on
the road.Tobias Harris scored 19 points, Marcus Morris had 17 and the Pistons
beat the Denver Nuggets 106-95 on Saturday night for their first win of the
season away from home.Without a doubt, everyone in this locker room was really
focused out there to get this `W today and we came out and accomplished it,
Harris said. Its not the road trip we wanted, but we learned a lot from this
road trip.Detroit, unbeaten in four home games, had lost five straight on the
road before fashioning the wire-to-wire win in Denver, the final stop on a
four-game road trip.Thats why this was huge because we have to know how to win
on the road, guard Ish Smith said. Its a new year, and were 5-5 and feel good
about it.Andre Drummond and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope added 14 points apiece for
the Pistons, who also snapped a seven-game losing streak in Denver a week after
beating the Nuggets in their first meeting in Detroit.Emmanuel Mudiay scored 19
points for Denver, which was done in by another slow start after being outscored
36-21 in the first quarter. The Pistons never trailed in the contest and also
benefited from 16 Denver turnovers leading to 17 points.It is the same old
story, Nuggets coach Michael Malone said. We outscored them 74-70 in quarters
two, three and four. But when you spot them a 15-point lead in the first
quarter. And we threw the ball over. Our turnovers are an epidemic.Danilo
Gallinari added 18 points for the Nuggets, who remained winless in three games
at home this season.Gallinaris mid-range jumper pulled Denver to 97-93 with 3:02
left but Drummond came right back to sink a hook shot for Detroit. Harris jumper

Barton have each missed the past six games. ... F Wilson Chandler was back in
action after missing the previous two games with a sore left hamstring. ...
Gallinari has scored 10 or more points in each of the first nine games.SECOND
THOUGHTSMalone conceded an experimental switch to power forward from his natural
position of center has not been working out well for second-year pro Nikola
Jokic. The Nuggets coach said he plans to give Jokic more time at the 5 spot
going forward. He had an unbelievable rookie year playing the 5, Malone said. I
told him I feel like Ive done him a disservice almost, exploring playing big.
There are some good things with that, but I took a kid who had a great year last
year, changed his position on him and it hasnt been easy for him. So my hope is
to try to get him more minutes at 5. He will play some 4 at times but we need to
get Nikola back.UP NEXTPistons: Return home from a four-game road trip to play
Oklahoma City on Monday night.Nuggets: Travel to Portland to play the Trail
Blazers on Sunday night.
