Early life[edit]

Fran Tarkenton was born on February 3, 1940, in Richmond, Virginia. His father, Dallas Tarkenton, Sr., was a Methodist minister.[1] Fran Tarkenton went to Athens High School in Athens, Georgia, and later attended the University of <a href="http://www.officialvikingshop.com/shop-by-players-fran-tarkenton-jersey-c-2_36.html">http://www.officialvikingshop.com/shop-by-players-fran-tarkenton-jersey-c-2_36.html</a> Georgia, where he was the quarterback on the Bulldog football team and a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Under Coach Wally Butts and with Tarkenton as QB, Georgia won the 1959 Southeastern Conference championship.


Professional football career[edit]

The Minnesota Vikings drafted Tarkenton in the third round of the 1961 NFL Draft, and he was picked in the fifth round of the 1961 AFL draft by the Boston Patriots. He signed with the Vikings. Tarkenton, 21, played his first National Football League game (and the Vikings' first game) on September 17 against the Chicago Bears coming off the bench to lead the Vikings to a come-from-behind victory by passing for 250 yards and four touchdown passes and running for another[2] as the Vikings defeated the Bears 37–13. He was the only player in NFL history to pass for four touchdowns in his first NFL game, until the feat was repeated by Marcus Mariota in the Tennessee Titans' 2015 season opener versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.[3]



Tarkenton scrambling (1974)

He played for the Vikings from 1961 to 1966.


Tarkenton was traded to the New York Giants in 1967, at which time he moved to the New York City suburb of New Rochelle, New York.[4] In the first game of the 1969 season, Tarkenton's Giants played the Vikings. After trailing 23–10 in the fourth quarter, Tarkenton threw two touchdown passes to secure a 24–23 comeback victory over his former team.[5] The 24 points allowed by Minnesota's defense were a season-worst for the unit.[6]


Tarkenton was traded back to Minnesota in 1972, for three players plus a first and second round draft choice.[7] He led the Vikings to three Super Bowls in the 1970s, but lost all of them. In Tarkenton's first Super Bowl appearance his team lost to the Miami Dolphins 24–7 in Houston. It lost the second to the Pittsburgh<a href="http://www.officialvikingshop.com/shop-by-players-jarius-wright-jersey-c-2_44.html">http://www.officialvikingshop.com/shop-by-players-jarius-wright-jersey-c-2_44.html</a>  Steelers 16–6 in New Orleans, and in the last Super Bowl Tarkenton played (and Minnesota's last Super Bowl to date), the Vikings lost to the Oakland Raiders 32–14 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.


In his 18 NFL seasons, Tarkenton completed 3,686 of 6,467 passes for 47,003 yards and 342 touchdowns, with 266 interceptions. Tarkenton's 47,003 career passing yards rank him 8th all time, while his 342 career passing touchdowns is 6th all time in NFL history.[8] He also is 6th on the all-time list of wins by a starting quarterback with 124 regular season victories. He also used his impressive scrambling ability to rack up 3,674 rushing yards and 32 touchdowns on 675 carries. During his career, Tarkenton ran for a touchdown in 15 different seasons, an NFL record among quarterbacks. He ranks fourth in career rushing yards among quarterbacks, behind Randall Cunningham, Steve Young and Michael Vick. He is also one of two NFL quarterbacks ever to rush for at least 300 yards in seven different seasons; the other is Tobin Rote. When he retired, Tarkenton held NFL career records in pass attempts, completions, yardage, and touchdowns; rushing yards by a quarterback; and wins by a starting quarterback.



Tarkenton launching a forward pass (1965)

The Vikings finished the 1975 season with an NFC-best 12–2 record and Tarkenton won the NFL Most Valuable Player Award and the NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award while capturing All-Pro honors in the process. He <a href="http://www.officialvikingshop.com/shop-by-players-joe-berger-jersey-c-2_19.html">http://www.officialvikingshop.com/shop-by-players-joe-berger-jersey-c-2_19.html</a> was also a second-team All-Pro in 1973 and earned All-NFC selections in 1972 and 1976. He was named second-team All-NFC in 1970 and 1974. Tarkenton was selected to play in nine Pro Bowls.[9]


Tarkenton was indecisive on his retirement during the last seven years of his playing career.[10][11]


Despite not winning a Super Bowl, he won six playoff games, and in 1999 he was ranked number 59 on The Sporting News list of the 100 Greatest Football Players.


Tarkenton was inducted into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 1977,[12] the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1986,[9] the College Football Hall of Fame in 1987,[13] and the Athens, Georgia Athletic Hall of Fame in 2000.[14]

After what head coach Ron Rivera described as a “position catastrophe” last season, the Panthers have to make moves – and fast. <a href="http://www.officialnflapparelshop.com/nfl-jerseys-carolina-panthers-c-1_807.html"> Carolina-Panthers Jersey</a> Free agency opens next week, and the logical step for general manager Dave Gettleman is to spend some of his approximately $35 million in cap room on an experienced offensive tackle.


Tha seems even more more logical when this particular draft class of tackles is considered. Panned by analysts and GMs alike as a weak group overall, it becomes increasingly unlikely that the Panthers use their No. 8 pick on a player who can’t be a game-changing factor on day one of the 2017 season.


Yet that may not stop Gettleman from taking one in later rounds – and there are some solid options for late-round pickups who could adjust well to the NFL learning curve.


[ NFL schedule and scores | NFL standings | Panthers schedule and results ]


Garett Bolles, Utah


Bolles, at 25, is older than the average NFL prospect and one of the few who is both a husband and a father, but his delayed entry to the league is because he went on a church mission earlier in his career.


His stock as one of the top offensive<a href="http://www.officialnflapparelshop.com/nfl-jerseys-carolina-panthers-c-1_807.html">http://www.officialnflapparelshop.com/nfl-jerseys-carolina-panthers-c-1_807.html</a>  linemen in the class rose after he displayed his athleticism this week at the NFL scouting combine. At 6-foot-5 and 300 pounds, Bolles ran a 4.95-second 40-yard dash, second-fastest of all the linemen.


His attitude on the field seems to be a nasty one – a great trait in an offensive tackle, and one Carolina could certainly use.


“When I’m on the field, I want to put people in the dirt,” he said during his podium session with media. “And that’s what I’m here for. ... Whoever’s in front of me, I want to drive them and put them in the dirt. So I’m just going to try to be that every single day. And when I come off the field, I love my family.”


Cam Robinson, Alabama


Robinson, a 6-foot-6, 326-pound left tackle and former<a href="http://www.officialnflapparelshop.com/nfl-jerseys-cincinnati-bengals-c-1_908.html">http://www.officialnflapparelshop.com/nfl-jerseys-cincinnati-bengals-c-1_908.html</a>  All-American at Alabama, was in early projections as the top pickup in the tackle class. His stock drops sharply when his off-the-field issues are considered, however. Robinson and a teammate were arrested last summer after police found marijuana and a stolen handgun in his car, but the charges were dropped.


Robinson was up-front about the incident at the combine.


“First and foremost I want (teams) to understand I didn’t want to let that incident define me as a person,” he said. “I respect myself and my family and university at the time, and my teammates. I put that past me.”


Gettleman does not usually bring in players with off-the-field issues such as Robinson’s. But it’s important to note that one of last year’s Panthers picks, cornerback Daryl Worley, also had misdemeanor battery charges against him that were dropped and the team did a thorough in-house investigation of the incident.


Ryan Ramczyk, Wisconsin


At 6-foot-6 and 314 pounds, Ramczyk would have been the top prospect in the class were it not for a nagging hip injury and just one year of Division I football under his belt.


Ramczyk said he’s confident he’ll be “completely clear” by the<a href="http://www.officialnflapparelshop.com/nfl-jerseys-dallas-cowboys-c-1_1003.html">http://www.officialnflapparelshop.com/nfl-jerseys-dallas-cowboys-c-1_1003.html</a>  time training camp rolls around, but many teams might not be willing to roll the dice on the injury, and especially not in the first round. But Wisconsin is similar in style to the ground-and-pound run game the Panthers prefer, and Ramczyk might be a valuable addition if enough teams pass early.

It would take<a href="http://www.officialnflapparelshop.com/nfl-jerseys-arizona-cardinals-c-1_614.html"> Arizona-Cardinals Jersey</a>  some shrewd accounting to make it happen but the Arizona Cardinals should consider signing the veteran wideout


A position that just one year ago looked like a strength has taken a mighty tumble for the Arizona Cardinals. The wide receiving group is in need of some help. A recently released veteran could go a long way into providing it.


A recent roster purge by the New York Jets has made six-time Pro Bowler Brandon Marshall an unrestricted free agent. The 32-year old has let it be known that he wants to resurface with a contender. Could the Cardinals be on his short list?

He certainly would be a fit in the desert. He has the kind of size (6’4″, 230) the Cards now need. Future Hall of Famer Larry Fitzgerald (6’3″, 218) may be entering the final phase of his illustrious career, and Michael Floyd (6’2″, 220) was released last season.

That has left the club with a couple of tiny pass-catchers (John Brown and J.J.Nelson), and a backup coming off of an ACL tear (Jaron Brown). The signing of Marshall would provide quarterback Carson Palmer with a nice, big target to throw to.


The biggest obstacle to it happening is <a href="http://www.officialnflapparelshop.com/nfl-jerseys-arizona-cardinals-c-1_614.html">http://www.officialnflapparelshop.com/nfl-jerseys-arizona-cardinals-c-1_614.html</a> obviously the money. Arizona currently doesn’t have much salary-cap space to work with, but next year it could be different. The impending retirements of Fitzgerald and Palmer alone could free up some significant cash. Would Marshall be willing to sign a slightly back-loaded deal to play for an organization that could win in ’17?


A three-year contract could be something that works for both parties. But the agreement would have to be structured around the lack of cap space Arizona has this year. It may take some keen salesmanship from General Manager<a href="http://www.officialnflapparelshop.com/nfl-jerseys-baltimore-ravens-c-1_709.html">http://www.officialnflapparelshop.com/nfl-jerseys-baltimore-ravens-c-1_709.html</a>  Steve Keim to get Marshall to take a little less in the first year of the contract.


It’s obvious that Marshall would be a strong addition to the Cardinals. Whether it can be worked out monetarily or not is another story. But just imagine the rewards if it can.

The Air Jordans 2017 was inspired by the heritage of basketball and created for superior comfort and style.These kicks are made with a leather and synthetic upper, a perforated toe area and a performance lining and foam package. The midsole contains an airbag in the heel for enhanced cushioning and the outsole is solid rubber with strategically placed flex grooves for flexibility and grip.The "Jumpman" logo (Michael Jordan) is used by Nike to promote the Air Jordan 2.5.1 Air Jordan XII cheap air jordans free shipping Air Force One Fusion; 2.5.2 Air Jordan V Air Force One.

There is a sign or "winged basketball" in the upper trapeze signs before the first and second generation Jordan shoes with wings as a sign of basketball。
One oddity about Jordan 11 Velvet Blue is that it has a curved last and an offset lacing system, which makes it look like the shoe bends medially when viewed from above. it’s one of the most comfortable shoes that I own and I often wear it out and about simply for this reason. As for sizing, the shoe runs true to size for me, and the fit is nearly perfect. The forefoot is plenty roomy for my medium width foot, and the heel through arch fit is nice and snug. There is a bit of arch support, which will likely turn off those more interested in truly minimalist shoes, though it is slightly less pronounced if you remove the insole.The shoe returned again in 2001, this time with the introduction of a Jumpman branded mid-top, and in 2008 the Brand started re-releasing the shoe with its original high cut.Jordan Brand is bringing the correct heat to the green with the release of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High Golf Shoe.

PULLMAN, Wash. Johnathan Hankins Giants Jersey . -- Washington State coach Ernie Kent is promising his third season will see an improvement in the Cougars talent level.That would be good news after a forgettable campaign last season that saw Washington State finish 9-22 overall and just 1-17 in the Pac-12.There was lots of roster churn after the season, and this years edition of the Cougars also took a tour of Italy to hone their basketball skills.With the talent level coming in the door, I think people should be pleasantly surprised when they see this team play, Kent said. Much improved shooting, passing and defense.A better team may also help increase the average of 2,800 fans at home games last season.The Cougars have some bright spots.Most notable is Josh Hawkinson, who averaged 15.4 points and 11.1 rebounds per game last season and led the Pac-12 in rebounding and with 20 double-doubles. The 6-foot-10 forward is now a senior and was an All-Pac-12 honorable mention last season.Hawkinson said he must do more to help the team.Ive got to step up more defensively, he said. I can be more of a distributor.Also back is senior guard Ike Iroegbu, who averaged 12.7 points and 3.6 assists, and guard Charles Callison, who recorded 7.9 points and 3 assists per game.Kent promised an up-tempo game last season, but didnt have the athletes to deliver. He believes the six newcomers on the roster are more suited to faster play.This team will be able to score more so we can speed the game up again, Kent said. Theres a different talent level, and a different energy coming in the door that allows us to play at a higher level.Among the newcomers is Malachi Flynn, who had 15 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds during WSUs final game in Italy. Freshmen Jeff Pollard, Milan Acquaah and Jamar Ergas are also expected to contribute.Iroegbu said everyone has to contribute this season.It cant just be me and Josh. Iroegbu said. Thats what Italy was for.The Cougars have not made the NCAA Tournament since the 2008 season under former coach Tony Bennett.COACHING CORNER: Kent, the former Oregon coach, led WSU to a 13-18 record, including seven conference wins, in his first season. Last year was quite a drop-off. Washington State did manage to beat No. 25 UCLA at home, then lost 17 games conference game in a row.ECHOES IN BEASLEY: A low-wattage non-conference schedule wont do much to raise attendance at Beasley Coliseum, which averaged 2,800 fans per game last season. No teams from Power 5 conferences are playing a non-conference game in Pullman this year. But fans can see three teams from the Big Sky.QUE CHECKS OUT: Que Johnson, once a highly touted recruit, transferred to Western Kentucky for his senior year, taking his 11.3 points per game with him. Center Valentine Izundo, guard Ny Redding and forward Brett Boese are also gone.THE HAWK: Hawkinson led the team with 33 minutes a game and ranked 11th in the nation in rebounding. He had a streak of 11 consecutive double-doubles. Marshall Newhouse Giants Jersey . But now that hes in the NHL, the Calgary Flames centre showed big improvement in that department by scoring the winner in the eighth round of a 5-4 shootout victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday. Daniel Fells Giants Jersey . Scott won the Australian PGA last week in his first event in Australia since winning the U.S. Masters in April. American Matt Kuchar, ahead by two strokes with four to play and even with Scott with one to go, double-bogeyed the 18th after taking two shots to get out of a bunker. http://www.odellbeckhamjrjersey.com/royal-blue-logan-thomas-giants-jersey/ .In my heart and mind Im competing for India, luge competitor Shiva Keshavan told The Associated Press in an email interview. Every day Im flooded with messages from Indians all over the world telling me they are supporting me. DALLAS --?Dirk Nowitzki plans to play at least two more seasons for the Dallas Mavericks. Thats not a promise, however.I always said I wanted to kind of take it year by year, Nowitzki said Thursday while promoting a celebrity tennis event he will host Sunday at SMU. But signing a two-year deal doesnt mean I necessarily have to play those two years. I think well see how next year goes, how the body responds, and then well make that decision again next year. But obviously, I would love to play the next two years and then just see how it goes.By that point Im turning 40, and thats already up there in age for the NBA, so well just have to wait and see how the body responds next two years.Nowitzki, the sixth-leading scorer in NBA history, got a significant raise when he re-signed with the Mavs this summer after opting out of the final season of his hometown-discount deal, which would have paid him $8.7 million this season.Nowitzki never gaave serious consideration to leaving Dallas, the only NBA home he ever intends to have, and originally agreed to a two-year, $40 million. Eli Apple Giants Jersey. He ended up with a $50 million deal after Mavs owner Mark Cuban insisted on paying the longtime face of the franchise more, although only $5 million is guaranteed in the second season.Hes been incredibly loyal to me, and Ive shown obviously that Ive wanted to be here last couple years, said Nowitzki, who would join Kobe Bryant as the only players to NBA history to play 20 seasons with only one franchise if he completes the contract. And I think he wanted to reward me in a way. It makes me obviously feel great and feel wanted. Im happy that I can finish my career here in Dallas, where I always wanted to be, and hopefully finish strong the last couple of years.

MONTREAL -- Montreal coach Michel Therrien made a minor tweak to his lineup and it worked so well the Canadiens tied a 63-year-old franchise record. Wholesale NFL Jerseys .Therrien shuffled his third line against the Kings on Thursday night and the move paid instant dividends as Montreal beat Los Angeles 4-1 to start the season 9-0-0.

Usually on the wing, Phillip Danault took Desharnais spot at center on the third line. Danault, centering Max Pacioretty and Andrew Shaw, scored Montreals third goal.I loved Danaults game, Therrien said. For his first game at center, he wasnt lost, he looked natural. Sometimes a player loses himself when he changes position. He was very comfortable out there.With the Canadiens already leading 2-0, Danault put away Jeff Petrys rebound from a tight angle at 9:37 of the second period for his fourth goal of the season. Former Montreal goalie Peter Budaj, out of position after the initial save on Petry, was impeded by teammate Nick Shore and couldnt get back to his crease.Pacioretty finished the game with two assists while Shaw was plus-2 with three shots.I had some excellent linemates today, Danault said. It was more a question of playing defensively today. It just means youre playing against bigger lines. But thats just part of the game.Shaw and I are great along the boards, and Max has an incredible shot. We complement each other really well.Carey Price protected Montreals three-goal lead as the Kings upped the pressure in the third period. Price made 11 of his 23 saves in the third period, including a mystifying stop on Anze Kopitar halfway through the frame.After an initial save on Drew Doughty, a sprawled-out Price somehow got a glove on a shot from a wide-open Kopitar.I just threw a hand up and got lucky, said Price, who has eight consecutive wins to start the season. One of those things where you get lucky every once in a while.Added Kopitar: I dont know how he did it, but he did it. Obviously a highlight-reel save. Youll probably see that one for a while on TV.Price is 5-1-0 in his last six career starts against the Kings. Montreals starting goaltender is 19-2-0 in his last 21 starts dating to last season.Tyler Toffoli ended Prices shutout bid at 11:57 of the third period with Brendan Gallagher in the box for high-sticking.Budaj wasnt as sharp in his first start against his former club since being traded by Montreal to Winnipeg in 2014.Looking for his third consecutive shutout, Budaj hadnt conceded a goal in 140:57 when Paul Byron found the back of the net in the first period.Daniel Carr added a second for Montreal 13:53 into the first period by deflecting Andrei Markovs shot from the point.Those first two periods, we just werent good enough, Kopitar said. Too many mistakes, too many turnovers, too many broken plays. A speedy team like them, they capitalize on that.Alex Galchenyuk added a fourth for Montreal into an empty net.Game notes Montreals Greg Pateryn was a healthy scratch. .

"I wrote 36 on my sheet at the beginning of the game," the Cincinnati coach said, referring the yard line the ball would need to be snapped from. The Viv Richards leg-side flick By Kamran AbbasiYou dont take Viv Richards down. Ive seen him hit by a bumper and the ball slide off him like a sponge thrown at granite. Ive seen him bowled for a duck and still swagger off the pitch. In the mind of King Viv these are simply moments of odd luck in a bowlers favour, for in his realm, in those royal 22 yards, an opponent is to be cut down with his SS Jumbo.When you are growing up and you see a man like Richards bat, you want to bat like him. When you are older, you realise youll never see a batsman like him again. We know about the swagger. Others swagger too, but its never been so natural or intimidating. We know about the gum-chewing smile, bum jutting towards square leg in a straight-kneed stance, head cocked towards the bowler atop shoulders that seem as broad as the body is tall. We know what follows is beautiful brutality with no empathy for a bowlers impotence.We hear much talk of modern batting, of switch hits and ramp shots. Richards didnt need any of those. Richards style was to see ball, hit ball - anywhere. That isnt to say he couldnt play orthodox. His off-drive was quite upright but imperious; the ball might have been fired from a cannon. His pull was by arrangement with the bowler, who barely finished his action before Richards was swaying to the off side to thump him to the boundary. His on-drive was perfectly balanced, an exquisite blend of power and timing.In defence, hed pat the ball down as if it was the head of a docile kitten, to mock the lollipop deliveries of the worlds most fearsome bowlers. But a Richards defensive stroke was a grand anticlimax, an obscene waste of talent. Here was a man made for destruction.Speed, spin, late movement, early movement, the ball took a hell of a beating. When the mood took him, Richards stepped back a pace or two to free his arms and drive expansively through the off side. Whether it was a four or six was a matter of whimsy. It was unstoppable. It was signature. Indeed, all his moves were. He had so many signatures that youd need an autograph book to capture them.But the one that sticks with me is the way Richards played through leg. Yes, Richards was good off his legs. Fire one at his body and he flicked it away, as any world-class batsman might do, except with more venom. No, it isnt that routine stroke that interests me. Richards did something else, something more breathtaking, something that established his supremacy early in an encounter.Batting at No. 3, he faced the worlds best. Lillee and Thomson. Botham and Willis. Imran, Kapil and Hadlee. They spat venom and smelt blood. The pitches were rough, green or uneven. Richards didnt wear a helmet. They wanted to humble the mighty West Indies. They wanted Richards and his West Indians to grovel. Richards would smile. Hed swagger. Hed chew gum. Hed prod the pitch. Hed pat a few heads of docile kittens.The bowler felt on top, so chest-thumpingly on top that hed deliver a ball of perfect length darting in at off stump. Instead of patting back down the line, instead of stepping back and driving expansively through the off side, which it was too early to do, Richards had a third way. He moved with an effortless grace, as if merely readjusting that straight-kneed stance. His front leg moved forward and across his stumps, more across than forward, covering them, a certain lbw - for any man but King Viv, that is.Next, Richards delivered his stroke, his signature move. Across his straight-kneed front leg, in a feat of immaculate timing and rippling power, hed flick his hands over the ball, a flick that began as a twitch of his mighty shoulder pivots and ended with a snap of wrists, plucking it from its off-stump trajectory and pistoling it into or over the leg-side boundary. The message was delivered. King Viv was seizing control of his kingdom.Forward and across, with power and poise, from straightened knees and mighty shoulders, he felled the worlds best bowlers. They grovelled before him. If anybody else tried it, it looked like a slog, uncouth and uncultured. When Vivian Richards moved forward and across and flicked to leg, it was a shot of brutal beauty, a signature move to signal the demolition.Kamran Abbasi is an editor, writer and broadcaster. @KamranAbbasi****The Dhoni stumping By Sidharth MongaThe word evolution in the context of wicketkeeping frustratingly ends at how Adam Gilchrist turned that player into a batsman first and a gloveman second. Batting has evolved beyond recognition with the advent of the two limited-overs formats and the never-ending improvement in protective equipment and bats. Bowling has evolved with slower balls, reverse swing and the doosra. Wicketkeeping, a job behind the stumps, has only evolved in front of them.MS Dhoni the wicketkeeper is different; yet when you think of a Dhoni signature it is always to do with his batting: the helicopter shot, the quick running, the calculated finish. I have not watched the Dhoni biopic, authorised and promoted by the man himself, and produced by his friend and manager, but none of the promos shows him keeping wicket, and I am willing to wager that the movie does not delve into that aspect. It is a shame because, with due respect to collecting throws in front of the stumps, wearing helmets while standing up to the quicks and the advance in general athleticism, Dhonis stumping technique is the only evolutionary step in the actual art of wicketkeeping.Wicketkeepers tend to follow the laws of physics when they collect hard cricket balls. Which is, take the hands back to absorb the blow and make sure the ball doesnt fall out. When it comes to stumpings, especially when the ball is turning and bouncing, keepers go back with the ball a little to collect it cleanly before moving towards the stumps. There is a precious half-second lost there. Dhoni doesnt go back. His gloves are always moving towards the stumps. It is as if along the way he just picks up a stationary object and whips the bails off with it.It is an act whose finality is beyond doubt. You miss the ball with Dhoni behind the stumps and you know you have no time to get back. Usually on pitches with turn and bounce, you can always hope to return to the crease because the more the action on the ball the more a wicketkeeper has to go back with his gloves. This doesnt apply to Dhoni. The impact is most visible when batsmen are stumped playing the forward defensive. The ball dips a little and drags the back foot over, but it has to turn past the bat to beat it, which means a regular wicketkeeper takes that much time to allow batsmen to get back into the crease. With Dhoni you are stumped by the time alarm bells ring in your mind.This is no party trick, and he has many - for instance, sticking his right leg out perpendicularly to stop a late cut, even as the hands follow the ball should it miss the bat. Dhoni almost never misses a stumping or a catch even though his hands are never going back to soften the blow. It is the reliability that makes it a signature move.By all accounts, and by all I have seen in the India nets over the years, Dhoni hardly practises keeping. He rarely talks about it. His fielding coaches have little idea how he does it. Behind the scenes, though, he works hard and has done. He spends a lot of time on his wicketkeeping in his houses in Delhi and Ranchi. A current wicketkeeper on the circuit has had conversations with Dhoni about his technique and he says Dhoni can manage it because he has done it since he was a boy. Others dont even try.At a young age, as with many things he did in his own way because of a mind that questioned norms, Dhoni knew he wanted to save time. I am not sure if he ever watched or spoke to the only man I have seen pull off such stumpings in international cricket, Sadanand Viswanath. Like Viswanath, Dhoni trained himself to not let his elbows go behind his body when collecting the ball standing up to the stumps. He never shied from wearing a helmet to protect himself; being effective was better than looking flash. Then hours went into perfecting the move. His strength, especially in the wrists, compensates for the control he loses by not giving himself time.The result is an act of beauty that hasnt been given its due. Indian broadcasters nowadays seem to have a Kohli cam that captures everything Virat Kohli does on the field: running in with the ball, reacting to the delivery, to the shot, appealing, celebrating,, despairing, cheering, fighting, scratching his beard.

That would be a trip.Sidharth Monga is an assistant editor at ESPNcricinfo****The KP surge By Rob SmythIll never forget Super Saturday of the London Olympics: Kevin Pietersen was batting. Pietersens awesome 149 against South Africa at Headingley left a far greater imprint on my memory than the orgy of patriotism that accompanied arguably Britains most celebrated day of sport. He didnt win a Test, never mind a gold medal, but the ethereal majesty with which he took apart the best pace attack in the world prompted a tremulous gratitude I shall always remember. The visceral thrill was such that it was impossible to sit still - and not just while the innings was going on. When I went home that night I tried to watch a film, couldnt concentrate and put the highlights of the cricket on, twice.Pietersen was associated with many shots - the switch hit, the slog sweep, the flamingo - but his greatest skill was what we might call the KP surge: when he would decide, as if on a whim, to take a bowler or an attack apart; when his mere presence at the crease was a newsflash. It might only last half an hour or an hour. That was enough: the resounding impact of the Pietersen surge meant it was invariably match-winning. When he made a double-century against India at Lords in 2011, his half-centuries came from 134 balls, 82, 85 - and finally 25 as he ran riot. He did not so much trouble the scorers as terrorise them. He did it against all opponents and in all contexts; he could kick an opponent when they were up or down. He did it in all formats too, but the elevated significance of his Test-match surges made them the most exhilarating thing I have seen in cricket.The best things about watching sport are genius, unpredictability and partisanship. As an England fan, the Pietersen surge involved all three. It was an almost psychedelic experience. Those innings were a cure for shyness; they made you want to tell someone, anyone, that Pietersen was on one. In sport its extremely rare for the reality to exceed the fantasy; with Pietersen that happened on multiple occasions. He didnt deal in the impossible; he dealt in the unimaginable, remixing existing shots and inventing new ones. Its no surprise that the majority of his most famous shots came during a surge, when he was in a higher state of concentration.In his superb book Kevin Pietersen on Cricket, he observed that being in the zone did not, as we tend to think, mean seeing the ball big; it meant seeing it slow. Two shots demonstrated that better than others: the dreamy pull off Dale Steyn during his 149 at Headingley, and the laziest driven six over extra cover off Pragyan Ojha in his immense 186 in Mumbai later that year. There were a few exceptions, most notably the chest-beating duel with Brett Lee during his Ashes-winning 158 in 2005, but the Pietersen surge was usually defined by a serene control and an aura of invincibility. He gave the worlds great bowlers a crash course in futility.There was no pattern to when all this might occur, and he has struggled to understand the frequency with which he entered the zone. The most common trigger seemed to be defiance - of opponents, the media, poor form, or even, at Headingley in 2012, his own team-mates. He might be stimulated by the desire to show off, the match situation or the weather. In Colombo in 2012, he decided he simply could not bat time in the 45-degree heat. So he hit one six, and then he hit another, and soon hed made 151 from 165 balls.That aura of invincibility could be deceptive. For every legendary surge, there were three or four where he got himself out just as word was spreading that something magical might be happening. That jeopardy added to the thrill of the experience, and the reward when he pulled it off was that you could sit at close of play trying to fathom what you had just witnessed. As a sports journalist you can become anaesthetised. The KP surge took me back to being a fan, and being a kid, lost in the wonder of astonishing sport.Rob Smyth is the author of Gentlemen and Sledgers: A History of the Ashes in 100 Quotations****The dry-pitch con job By Andrew Fidel FernandoIf a government job is the most stable employment in South Asia, cricket administration is perhaps the most volatile. Cricket Australia has been stuck with James Sutherland for the better part of two decades. Giles Clarke looks and sounds like Jurassic calcium deposit, and upholds the hairstyle and values of an even earlier age. In South Asia - and Sri Lanka, in particular - cricket governance is forever enlivened by summary firings, interim-committee appointments, judicial injunctions, hostile takeovers, ad-hoc cocktail lunches, impromptu travel junkets, temperamental office Wi-Fi, and so on.So when out of this chaos order emerges, it does seem wondrous. And in no instance do administrators, ground staff, team management and cricketers collude to such consistently fruitful effect as in the preparation of dry tracks for foreign teams.It begins with the curator. In years gone by there may have been some head-scratching as to whether dry tracks are appropriate for certain visiting teams. Helpfully, the cricket world has since organised itself into two distinct groups: teams who can barely play spin, and teams who would rather self-immolate.When the latter sort arrive at the ground, the curator smilingly assures them that, of course, there will be some pace and bounce, not to worry, it always looks like this before a Test, and actually, this is quite like the one that South Africa had won a game on a few years back, youll see, and oh, put the opposition in to bat definitely. Not long after, he instructs his ground staff to scrub the surface down with coir brushes and warns them not to spill so much as a bead of sweat while they do. The curator has, of course, been instructed to prepare a surface just good enough to avoid ICC censure. Just to make sure, board officials are buttering up the match referee, their guest of honour in the extravagant pre-series tamasha. By the eve of the match a little tension has built up, but the tourists are concealing their fears. The visiting captain will make assertive, leader-like comments at his media appearance. They know it will spin, but his men are up to the challenge, he will say. They have trained so hard, they are the best-prepared outfit not just in the history of cricket but also of preparation. And, he says, the top order did continuous trust-falls and sang around the campfire in their team-building jamboree until all memory of traumatic past tours was wiped out.But then the match begins and things begin to go badly. The arm ball proves destructive initially, so the batsmen meet and decide to watch closely for it. The turning ball duly wreaks havoc the next day. Soon they begin to speak of spin bowling as if it is some kind of voodoo. Physically they are deteriorating, like someone is sticking pins into dolls made in their visage. Batsmen are sweating profusely in the heat. They are developing tinnitus from the constant cawing of the vultures around the bat. The legs are not quite moving as they should. The bowlers variations look identical out of the hand, so maybe the eyes are packing up.By now, almost everything the home spinners touch is turning into a wicket. They had smiled graciously while the fast bowlers were given their token two overs with the new ball, but before long, lost patience and strode to the bowling crease to dispatch them to the boundary. That was cute, machan, but its time to really start playing now. For much of the game, the fast bowlers trudge from position to distant position in the field. By the end they have had less impact on proceedings than, say, the sightscreen attendants.The home side eventually saunters to victory. The usual post-match reflection follows. About 48 hours pass. When another dry pitch is unveiled at the next venue, the visiting captain cannot drum up any bravado. This time he knows what he is really looking at: a funeral pyre.Andrew Fidel Fernando is ESPNcricinfos Sri Lanka correspondent. @andrewffernando Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
