Victoria 2 for 292 (Dean 134*, Handscomb 110*) v New South WalesScorecard Peter Handscomb looms as a possible inclusion in Australias squad for the third Test in Adelaide after scoring a timely century for Victoria on the first day of their Sheffield Shield match against New South Wales at the SCG. Billige Nike Roshe Run Dame . Handscomb finished the day unbeaten on 110, while opener Travis Dean batted through the whole day and went to stumps on 134, as the Bushrangers ended on 2 for 292.Deans patient innings - he occupied the crease for 274 deliveries - will also have caught the attention of selectors looking to overhaul Australias batting order following their crushing losses to South Africa in Perth and Hobart. However, Handscomb appears a more probable candidate for immediate inclusion, with Adam Voges unlikely to retain his place for the Adelaide Test.Australia captain Steven Smith and vice-captain David Warner were both in the field as Handscomb compiled his unbeaten 193-ball innings, the ninth century of his first-class career. At 25, Handscomb now has 60 first-class matches to his name, and was Man of the Match in last years Sheffield Shield final.His past 11 first-class innings read: 112, 61*, 4, 14, 137, 87, 24, 78, 10, 60, 110*. In that time, which stretches back to March, Handscomb has averaged 77.44. One of the other contenders for a middle-order Test position is New South Wales batsman Kurtis Patterson, who will have his opportunity later in this game.Handscomb used his feet to the spin of Steve OKeefe and Nathan Lyon, and struck 12 fours and one six during his unbeaten 225-run partnership with Dean. They had come together at 2 for 67 after Trent Copeland had opener Marcus Harris caught behind by Peter Nevill for 28 and Marcus Stoinis edged OKeefe to slip for 11. Lyon, who is considered under some pressure to hold his Test place, took 0 for 88 from 27 overs.Deans hundred was his fourth in first-class cricket - two of those came on debut last summer, and the other was in Victorias Sheffield Shield final win in March. Although there are other candidates should the selectors decide to axe Joe Burns from the Test opening position - Cameron Bancroft and Matt Renshaw particularly - Deans effort at the SCG was a timely reminder of his talents.

The visitors took a deserved lead in the 16th minute with midfielder Yohan Cabaye curling the ball beyond Adrian from inside the penalty area. http:///...ree-4-0-flyknit.html . The Canadian squad, skipped by Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg, got on the board first with two in the second end, and followed that with two more apiece in the fourth and sixth ends. NEW YORK -- Two teams looking to play a consistent 60 minutes will square off Sunday night when the New York Islanders continue a five-game homestand by hosting the Minnesota Wild at Barclays Center.The Wild are coming off a 2-1 overtime loss to the New Jersey Devils in which it had three shots in the first period, 17 in the second and six in the third period and beyond.Quiet first periods are nothing new for the Wild, who have taken just 25 of their 131 shots this season in the first period. Minnesota (3-1-1) has five or fewer shots in the first period in four of its five games.Im going to have to start telling them the games at 6:30, Wild coach Bruce Boudreau said Saturday night. We fall asleep and then we come back in the second and third and play really hard and really well. But weve got to be prepared to play the game. The first five games, the first periods, we havent been ready yet.The Islanders beat the Arizona Coyotes 3-2 on Friday despite taking 16 of their 31 shots during a scoreless second period. New York (2-3-0) has produced seven shots or fewer in six of the 15 full periods it has played this season.Ryan Strome, who scored for the Islanders on Friday, recognized the need to get into a flow during a season-opening stretch in which New York will play 10 of its first 13 games at Barclays Center.Home games are so important for us, Strome said. Our schedules so nice at the beginning of the season. Were home a lot so weve got to take advantage of it, try to get back in the drivers seat here, get back above .500 and get on our horses and go.Secondary storylines to follow Sunday include Wild left winger Zach Parises pursuit of his 300th career goal and the return of Islanders defenseman Nick Leddy.Parise began the season wiith 299 goals but has been held off the scoreboard thus far. Nike Free 3.0 Flyknit 2015. Boudreau admitted the Wild might be trying too hard to get Parise his milestone goal.You could tell, Boudreau said. There (were) two-on-ones all over the place. Instead of shooting, we were trying to force passes to him.Leddy, meanwhile, is expected to return from a rare injury-related absence. He missed Fridays game with an upper body injury -- the first game he missed because of injury since March 2015 -- but skated with the Islanders on Saturday morning.The return of the Islanders top defenseman will be a welcome sight for head coach Jack Capuano, who had to mix and match Friday after Leddys replacement, Ryan Pulock, suffered a lower body injury that is expected to sideline him for four to six weeks.Just seems like we cant catch a break right now, to be honest with you, Capuano said.Two backups -- the Islanders Thomas Greiss and the Wilds Darcy Kuemper -- are likely to do battle in net.New Yorks No. 1 goalie, Jaroslav Halak, has started the last three games, which should open the door for Greiss to make his second appearance of the season. Gneiss is 2-2-0 in four games against the Wild and claimed the win the last time he opposed Minnesota on Nov. 4, 2014, when he stopped 33 of 34 shots for the host Pittsburgh Penguins in a 4-1 victory at Xcel Energy Center.Wild starter Devan Dubnyk played Saturday night, so Kuemper will probably draw his second start of the season. In his lone career appearance against the Islanders on Feb. 2, Kuemper stopped all eight shots he faced in relief of Dubnyk in the Wilds 5-3 loss at Barclays Center. Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
