A washed out first day in Christchurch is unlikely to prompt wholesale changes in strategy, because there is still plenty of time left in the game, New Zealand batting coach Craig McMillan said. Not even the toss was possible on Thursday, which means neither team has yet named their XI.Play is now set to begin half an hour early, for the following four days, as long as weather permits. A minimum of 98 overs is scheduled for each of these days, when usually, only 90 are expected to be bowled.Theres not a lot of overs lost even though we lost the whole day today, McMillan said. We havent named our XI, and there are probably discussions on that tonight, but I dont think too much has changed.Though a day of rain may make an already green Hagley Oval surface even more conducive to seam movement, McMillan hoped the recent proliferation of greentops in New Zealand will have equipped his batsmen with the means to cope.I think its fair to say looking at that surface that the toss will be important, he said. I think with the pitch being under cover today with the rain about, that first session tomorrow (Friday) is certainly going to be challenging. Hopefully, though, theres enough movement for a couple of days, so that the team that wins the toss doesnt have so big an advantage. I think theres going to be enough for both teams in the first innings.These are conditions that weve been in quite a lot over the last few years. Weve batted first on a number of pitches that looked very similar to the one out there, and weve done it well. Its nothing new to us but we still know that we have to get things right against a very good Pakistan attack.McMillan had been charged with helping New Zealands batsmen - who were battered in India - regain some confidence ahead of the long home season. He said the top order had prepared specifically for the Pakistan attack, with special attention given to combating the left-arm angle that Mohammad Amir, and perhaps Rahat Ali, will provide.I want to see the batsmen commit to their own personal game plan, McMillan said. Weve done some good work over the last two days in the nets. Both sets of fast bowlers are licking their lips and are pretty excited I think by whats on offer. I think they have to commit to the style and game plan that they want to follow through with and they have to make good decisions. They have to be nice and precise the way they go about it. If they do that, theres a reasonable chance they can come out with some success. nike vapormax skroutz .J. Jefferson has been charged with assaulting his girlfriend. nike vapormax greece .

The Mid-American Conference has adopted four proposals developed by student-athletes to regulate time demands on those participating in college sports, including a mandatory two weeks off after the season.The MAC announced Thursday that its council of presidents voted unanimously to adopt the proposals approved by athletic directors. The proposals originated from a report drafted by the conferences student-advisory committee.In July, the Power Five conferences put forth several concepts to reduce the demands on athletes. The concepts will form a proposal for NCAA legislation that the autonomy conferences plan to vote on in January.The MAC decided not to wait. MAC schools can implement the proposals immediately, but they are mandatory for the 2017-18 school year.This will be a topic of conversation in January, MAC commissioner Jon Steinbrecher said. If we knew what we wanted to do, why not go ahead and do it? It was the right thing to do.A lot of this is going to be a work in progress in how we track it and how we manage the issues that arise. Well manage the self-reporting. Were one of two conferences with an infractions committee.

If changes are required, they must be known by student-athletes 24 hours prior to the scheduled practice time.They have a passion for their sport. Its not like theyre looking to take seasons off, Steinbrecher said. The flip side is they also want a full college experience. Thats the tension youre probably balancing as you work through some of these things. The participation in the sport brings phenomenal opportunities. This is a starting point and its not the end point. The next evolution gets into sport-specific requirements.ESPNs Adam Rittenberg and The Associated Press contributed to this report. ' ' '
