Sam Billings, the Kent and England wicketkeeper-batsman, has signed to play for Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash League in Australia next month. He is available for the group stage, although he is expected to miss the later stages of the tournament because of a clash with Englands ODI tour to India in January.Billings will join England teammate Jason Roy in a squad that also includes a former Kent team-mate in Doug Bollinger, the veteran Australian pace bowler.Billings said: Its a great competition and to get the opportunity to play in it is fantastic. I spent six months in Sydney in 2013 and it was a very good experience and great for my game.Sydney Sixers head coach Greg Shipperd said Billings flexibility was an attraction. Sam is a crucial addition to our ranks given the selection for Australia of Nic Maddinson and the possibility of other Australian selections.Recent international performances have whetted our appetite that his explosive and creative style of batting will nicely suit our line-up. Sam can bat anywhere in the order and we like that flexibility in our players. Also his fielding is highly rated both as a keeper or outfielder.Nottinghamshires Michael Lumb is also part of the Sixers squad.Nike Just Do It Schuhe Air Force 1 . With Parker having a quiet game for once, Nicolas Batum and Boris Diaw provided the scoring as France won its first major basketball title by beating Lithuania 80-66 on Sunday. It was a victory that ended a decade of frustration for Parker and a talented French generation, which lost the final against Spain two years ago and took bronze in 2005.

Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks.

John Lucas, signed as a mentor for rookie Trey Burke, showed he can score if required, scoring 12 points of his 16 points in the second quarter as Utah built an 18-point lead. Nike Air Presto Off White . The team said Saturday that Lopez was hurt during its 121-120 overtime loss at Philadelphia on Friday. The Nets said they would issue another update next week after consultation with their doctors.For a split-second, Umesh Yadavs heart was in his mouth. Hed had the key wicket of Englands innings clasped in his hands but appeared to have tossed it away in a celebratory gesture reminiscent of Herschelle Gibbs infamous dropping of the World Cup at Headingley in 1999.This time, however, there was no reprieve for the oppositions centurion. Whereas at Headingley 17 years ago, Steve Waugh went on to make a matchwinning 120 not out, in Rajkot Joe Root was sent on his way for 124, as Yadav ended a vital 179-run stand for Englands fourth wicket.The moment happened at blink-and-you-miss-it speed. Root, on the front foot, drove hard back towards Yadavs knees, and in a single upwards motion, the bowler first wrapped his fingers round the ball then flung it skywards, but with less control than he might have desired.In a moment of panic, Yadav parried it over his head, peered back over his shoulder to locate the ball, then watched it flop to the turf near umpire Kumar Dharmasena. Root, understandably, stood his ground, but the batsmans fate was effectively sealed from the moment that Dharmasena gave a soft signal to the third umpire, Rod Tucker, that he believed that Yadav had been in control of the ball for long enough, and therefore the catch was fair.The relevant part of the Law (19.4) states:The act of making the catch, or of fielding the ball, shall start from the time when the ball first comes into contact with some part of a fielders person and shall end when a fielder obtains complete control both over the ball and over his own movement.I think the on-field umpires soft signal was the key, Fraser Stewart, of the MCC, told ESPNcricinfo. If hed given a not-out soft signal, there was probably enough doubt to kkeep it as not out.dddddddddddd. However, as the soft signal was out, the on-field umpires must have been happy with it as their gut reaction and, had it been in a game with no reviews or referrals, they would have given it out.Did he have complete control over the ball? In slow-motion you would probably say yes, but in real time its less clear. It could easily be argued either way.The soft signal was introduced in response to concerns that TV replays, for all the benefits that they offer, dont always show the full picture as experienced live out in the middle. Low catches, in particular, have often fallen victim to the phenomenon of foreshortening, as 3D events are replayed on 2D screens. In November 2014, the ICC introduced the concept of broadcasting the discussions between on-field and third umpires, to further demystify the process for viewers.Decision-making is an important skill and one that should be applied at the highest level of the game, umpire Simon Taufel told the Times of India recently. So, the soft signal maintains the premise that the decision-making happens on field and not just left to technology to provide an outcome.Root himself was phlegmatic about the incident. I was so disgusted with the shot that - giving it the Arsene Wenger approach - I didnt really see what was happening.But having seen the slow-motion replay, it does look out. When its sped up it looks a bit strange, but I was very lucky to get an umpires call with an lbw earlier on and you have to take the rough with the smooth sometimes and just get on with it.Additional reporting by George Dobell ' ' '
