Rohit 62, Bravo 2-37) by 1 runScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsA hurriedly
arranged exercise to take a glimpse into the future of cricket economy provided
a giddying look into the future of Twenty20 cricket on the field.
Nike Air Force
1 Homme Pas Cher . This was a future of fearless, relentless,
calculated, almost unhurried hitting taken to the next level as West Indies
first amassed their personal best of 245 only for India to come within two runs
of mounting the highest successful T20I chase almost without breaking a
sweat.Evin Lewis and KL Rahul, replacing regular openers Chris Gayle and Shikhar
Dhawan, smashed hundreds, but in this future bowlers did deal the consequential
blows. India bowled superb wide yorkers to concede just 40 in the last four and
64 in the last seven, but the wily Dwayne Bravo outfoxed MS Dhoni and the
centurion Rahul by defending seven runs in the last over. India needed two off
the last ball, but Bravo made Dhoni wait and wait before bowling a slower ball
that was caught by Marlon Samuels at short third man.On a day that some batting
records were broken and all sorts of others, and low-flying aircrafts, were
under threat - Richard Levis fastest hundred off 45 balls thrice, most runs in
an over, most runs in boundaries in a team innings, highest T20I score, highest
successful T20I chase - the bowling was the story of the day. In particular the
last over of the day.When Bravo began it, 483 runs had been scored in 39 overs.
Thirty-two sixes and 35 fours had been hit on a flat deck surrounded by short
boundaries. Johnson Charles had looted 79 off 33, playing only five scoring
shots on the off side. Playing only his second T20I, replacing Gayle, Lewis had
hit five sixes in a Stuart Binny over. Rohit Sharma looked like he could cream
his way to another hundred when he scored 62 off 28. Andre Russell, the best T20
cricketer going around today, had just been mercilessly taken for 36 runs in his
last two overs.Bravo had no business even hoping to save this one, especially
when bowling to a man batting on a smooth hundred and the other renowned to be
one of the best finishers in ODI cricket, Dhoni. In ran Bravo, a nine-run 18th
over behind his back, hoping to not concede a boundary first ball, to try to get
into the over. He had reason to just hope: 20 of the 39 previous overs had been
taken for at least a boundary in the first two balls.Bravo did way better,
though, bowling a bewitching slower ball, dipping on Dhoni - 40 off 21 at that
time - drawing a big edge, but at short third man Marlon Samuels dropped what
Ian Bishop called was the sittest of sitters. This was the second catch West
Indies had dropped; Russell had reprieved Rahul when he was only 36. Rahul had
gone on to play a chanceless innings, continuing to run hard despite having been
hit on the toe twice.Back to the frustrated Bravo then. This one was full and
outside off, Rahul smashed it into the off side, and now was the time to hope
this went to a fielder. Straight to the sweeper-cover fielder it went. Six
required off four now. Still a matter of hoping. Bravos next ball was on a
length, but smartly he followed Dhoni, cramping him up, conceding just the
leg-bye.If Bravo and Russell were the big boys West Indies went to with only 53
required off the last four overs, Bravo now went to the big boys of death
bowling. No more mucking around. Bowl them yorkers. The first one was a low full
toss, the original call was two as this went to long-on, but finally, at long
last, Rahul had had enough up haring up and down with a badgered toe. Also if
there had been a run-out - and there could only have been one at Rahuls end -
India would have had a new batsman facing up with four required off two
balls.Instead we had the cool head of Dhoni. Against his trusted lieutenant for
years at Chennai Super Kings. Bravo bowled the near perfect yorker, Dhoni dug it
out powerfully, the ball bounced over Bravos head, who got a hand to it, slowing
it down. Was this absorbing of the blow that cost West Indies the second run
here? Would this have been a single had Bravo not intercepted or would it have
beaten long-off to end the game right there? We wont know.Now time stood still.
Dhoni has often destroyed many an inexperienced bowler by bringing the contest
to a one-on-one from the 11-on-1 that it is for major durations of the match.
The hunter had become the hunted now. Bravo had begun the over with nothing to
lose, and now he had left Dhoni in the spotlight. And he left Dhoni on a slow
burn. About five minutes went by before he bowled the next ball, but it seemed
like an eternity. First a man from the off side was moved to midwicket inside
the circle to block that Dhoni bunt into the leg side for a couple. Then once
the field was set, once Dhoni was ready to face, Bravo walked back all the way
to long-on for another conference with Kieron Pollard and new captain Carlos
Brathwaite.Dhoni had met an equal at mindgames. He had only recently outfoxed
Bangladesh when they needed two off the last ball. He was now being given enough
time and more whether to go for a boundary or the safe route of getting bat on
ball for a single to tie and then see if they could get the bonus second? Bravo,
and those who know Dhoni, knew the answer. Knowing MS, Bravo said in a flash
interview, I knew he was going to take the safer route.Bravo said he wasnt
always sure of bowling the slower ball, but once he saw Dhoni move towards him a
little, he pulled out that slower dipping offcutter again. Destinys child
Samuels, twice Man of the Match in World T20 final wins, got another chance as
Dhoni edged while trying to push this into the off side for the safer route.
Samuels caught it this time. Bravo had taken a stunning catch earlier to get rid
of Ajinkya Rahane and had taken the crucial wicket of Virat Kohli without
pulling out his Champion Dance, but turns out he had saved it for something
special: this.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee keeps putting itself in early holes and digging
its way out.The 11th-ranked Volunteers have trailed by double-digit margins in
three of their four games this season, yet they remain undefeated. The trend
continued Saturday when they erased a 21-point deficit to beat Florida 38-28
despite missing three of their top four defensive players. Florida, which had
been ranked 19th, slipped to 23rd in the latest Top 25.Their uncanny ability to
finish has the Vols off to their fastest start since 2003.I feel like we play
better when were down, defensive end Derek Barnett said. Thats something weve
got to get corrected.Indeed, Tennessee (4-0, 1-0 SEC) cant afford to continue
falling behind as its schedule gets tougher. The Vols visit No. 25 Georgia and
No. 9 Texas A&M and host No. 1 Alabama in the next three weeks.But their
response to adversity shows a resiliency that was missing this time last year,
when Tennessee got off to a 3-4 start. The Vols have won 10 straight games
since.This latest victory arguably was the most impressive of the streak. After
falling behind 21-0, Tennessee scored 38 straight points. Facing the nations
top-ranked defense, Tennessee scored five touchdowns in a stretch of six
second-half series.Tennessee rallied despite playing without injured cornerback
Cam Sutton and linebacker Darrin Kirkland Jr. The Vols also played the majority
of Saturdays game without linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin.Theyre hearing the boos
at halftime, Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. They could have folded. They
could have come in and they could have gotten down on themselves and they didnt.
They responded like you wanted them to respond.Tennessee has been outscored
34-10 in the first quarter and 60-44 in the first half. But the Vols are
outscoring opponents 87-24 in the second half and overtime.Thats a marked
contrast from last season, when Tennessee led in all four of its losses and was
up by at least 13 points in three of them.Jones believes the team benefited from
its season-opening struggles againnst Appalachian State, when Tennessee trailed
13-3 at halftime before rallying for a 20-13 overtime victory .
Nike Air Max 2017 Femme. Tennessee followed
that up by erasing a 14-0 deficit in a 45-24 triumph over Virginia Tech .I
thought that was needed, Jones said of the Appalachian State experience. I
thought we needed to prove that we could not play our best, force the game to
overtime and win the football game. From that point forward, weve gained
confidence in close games.Jones said Tennessee played too emotionally in the
first half Saturday and was living and dying on every single snap. The Vols
showed more poise in the second half.Tennessee running back Alvin Kamara said he
remembered how former Vols Al Wilson and Jamal Lewis told him before the game to
keep the team calm, stay calm and that the message resonated throughout the
day.We just had to go out, not get caught up in the moment, not get caught up in
all the extra stuff thats going on, the hype and everything, quarterback Joshua
Dobbs said. Just go out -- its simple -- and execute as we do in
practice.Footballs a simple game. You can make it a lot more complicated than it
really is.In the first half of games this season, Dobbs is completing just 50.8
percent of his passes with three touchdowns and three interceptions, and hes
averaging 3 yards per carry. After halftime, Dobbs is completing 65.2 percent of
his passes with seven touchdowns and two interceptions, and hes averaging 5.5
yards per rush.Dobbs production can vary wildly over the course of the game, but
his attitude stays the same in any situation.At the quarterback position ... you
dont want the ebbs and flows and the peaks and the valleys, Jones said. You want
someone who is very consistent in their approach. Thats Joshua Dobbs. Hes very
consistent in his approach. Hes very calm. Hes very collected. Our team feeds
off of that.---AP college football website:
