Following the ballKane Williamson followed the ball for the first few overs. Kevin Hayes Rangers Jersey Authentic . Wherever the ball went, fielders followed. Gautam Gambhir hit one square cut for four and that was enough for Matt Henry to place a fielder manning the point boundary. The ball that went to the fence was short and wide but, instead of altering the length, New Zealand placed a fielder for a bad ball. Trent Boult also employed an interesting new tactic for M Vijay - a couple of pleasing cover drives by the batsman led not just to the placement of a deep point but also to the bowler varying angles by changing between over and around the wicket a few times in his first three overs. This is the first time in the series that New Zealand have changed their plans so swiftly in a such a short time span.Gambhirs new stanceGambhir has changed his stance to prevent his front foot from going too far across, opening up his stance from the feet to the shoulders. This new stance has opened up the on side for him, both off the front foot and back foot. It has also allowed him to play the short ball well on both sides of the pitch. Gambhirs comfort against short balls was evident right from the start of his innings. The only flip side to such a stance, as highlighted by Gambhirs wagon-wheel, is that it limits the batsman from playing the full ball through covers and mid-off. Bafflingly, New Zealands fast bowlers did not bowl full enough to Gambhir on a consistent basis.Data sets the fieldIn years gone by, it was considered preposterous not to have a fielder at deep square leg or deep midwicket. But, in todays era, tactics are driven by the available data. Cheteshwar Pujara neither sweeps, nor plays the slog sweep and, therefore, Jeetan Patel opted to leave that entire area in the deep unmanned. That not only allowed the bowler to cut off an easy single, but also challenged Pujara to go out of his comfort zone. Since Pujara often steps out to hit down the ground, the fielder at mid-on was pushed back. Kohlis demonstration of technique against spin...On the fourth ball of the 46th over, Mitchell Santner dropped short and Virat Kohli went back to half-flick, half-punch the ball to the midwicket fence. When a spinner drops short, a batsmans natural tendency is to go deep inside the crease and play a horizontal-bat shot through midwicket. Instead, Kohli played the shot with a straight bat, which is the right way to play spin off the back foot on subcontinental pitches. Other batsmen would do well to take a cue from this shot for the rest of the game....and against the bouncerKohlis handling of the short ball has been impeccable thus far. Ever since he got out to Neil Wagner in Kanpur, there has been a concerted effort from New Zealand to bowl a few bouncers to Kohli early on. Today, he looked in complete control, both when ducking under the ball and when playing the pull shot. It is not easy to leave a few bouncers and then pounce on one thats hittable. As a result, New Zealands seamers did not overdo the bouncer trap against Kohli.By contrast, it took some time for Ajinkya Rahane to find a workable strategy against the bouncers. He tried both pulling and riding the bounce in the initial stages of his innings but found himself in trouble on both occasions. Only when he decided to abandon all attempts to play the bouncer did his life become easier. He took a couple of blows on the body and looked more assured once his mind was uncluttered. Adam Clendening Rangers Jersey Authentic . P.A. Parenteau scored early in the third period to help the Avs edge Toronto 2-1 on Tuesday night. Cory Sarich also scored for Colorado (3-0-0), which is off to its best ever start. Brian Leetch Rangers Jersey . Vokoun departed practice on Saturday morning after discovering swelling in his thigh. He was taken to a local hospital where the clot was revealed. The club announced the surgery following a 5-3 exhibition loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. http://www.officialrangersauthority.com/hoodie-c-2/ . -- Lou Brocks shoulder-to-shoulder collision with Bill Freehan during the 1968 World Series and Pete Roses bruising hit on Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star game could become relics of baseball history, like the dead-ball era. Worcester secured their first win of the Aviva Premiership season as Newcastle were beaten 11-9 in an error-strewn game.The match was played in perfect conditions, and on the plastic pitch at Sixways, yet still both sides conspired to produce a very poor advert for the competition.Worcesters Wynand Olivier scored the only try of the game with Ryan Lamb and Tom Heathcote kicking penalties.Newcastle at least claimed a bonus point thanks to two Mike Delany penalties, and another late on from Joel Hodgson, to finish a game that neither side deserved to win.Worcesters scrum looked on top in the opening stages but careless passing cost Warriors the chance to take advantage.Both Jackson Willison and Perry Humphreys failed to take regulation passes to surrender valuable possession.Newcastle were therefore able to have the better of the opening quarter by penning the opposition in their own half, but it was Worcester who took the lead after 20 minutes.On halfway, Sinoti Sinoti threw out a hospital pass to Dominic Waldouck.The ball and Willison arrived at the same time and although the New Zealander appeared to knock on in a hefty collision, Heathcote picked up the loose ball to send Olivier in for the try.Heathcote was off-target with the conversion as was Delany with a penalty attempt but the outside-half soon had another chance and put Newcastle on the scoreboard after 24 minutes.Worcester continued to concede frequent penalties and make careless errors, which stopped them building any momentum to their play, and just before half-time the Warrior suffered a setback. Tanner Glass Rangers Jersey. Wing Cooper Vuna limped off to be replaced by Josh Adams but they immediately overcame the loss to extend their advantage.Heathcote made the best break of the half to put the Falcons defence on the back foot and when Newcastle were penalised, he kicked a penalty to give his side an undeserved 8-3 interval lead.The hosts began the second half strongly and when Newcastle conceded another scrum penalty, Heathcote had a chance to put his side further ahead but he spurned the opportunity by firing wide.The Warriors continued to have the better of the third quarter but could not capitalise as their line-outs continued to malfunction and they lost at least four of their own throws.After 50 minutes the home side introduced Lamb in place of Heathcote and almost his first task was to stroke over an easy penalty.Minutes later, Lamb failed with another attempt, this time from long range, so Worcester stayed 11-3 ahead going into the final quarter.Delany kicked a second penalty as Worcester came under increasing pressure to keep their line intact with replacement scrum-half, Micky Young, peppering the home defence with a succession of up and unders.With four minutes remaining, replacement Hodgson brought Newcastle within two points but the home side just held on.
