Hawthorn moved to bolster their tall stocks with the addition of Richmond free agent Ty Vickery on a quiet opening day of AFL free agency.The Hawks offered the 200cm forward-ruckman a two-year deal on Friday, the only official paperwork lodged with the AFL on the first day of the 10-day free agency period.Adelaide veteran Scott Thompson was an unrestricted free agent, but signed a one-year deal on Friday to remain with the Crows as expected.North Melbournes Daniel Wells, also an unrestricted free agent, is expected to take up an offer to move to Collingwood, but chose not to make his intentions known until after the Roos best and fairest count on Friday night.The Pies are also reported to be in the market for Fremantle free agent Chris Mayne.Vickery is a restricted free agent, which means the Tigers have until Monday to match Hawthorns offer if they want to keep him at Punt Road or force Hawthorn to trade for him.Ty is keen to come to the Hawks and we are hopeful that we have provided him with a deal that will see this come to fruition, Hawthorn list manager Graham Wright said.His ability to play both ruck and forward is an extremely valuable asset, making him a fantastic addition to our list.At 26 years of age, Ty has plenty of football left to play and we look forward to seeing what he can produce at the Hawks.The Tigers said they would consider their options over the three-day period allowed under free agency rules, in a statement released late on Friday afternoon.They would be the first club to match an offer to a restricted free agent since the introduction of the new system at the end of the 2012 season.The addition of Vickery could help the Hawks cover the losses of key forward Jarryd Roughead, who missed this season as he underwent cancer treatment, and ruckman Jonathon Ceglar, who is on the comeback trail from a knee reconstruction.The Hawks have a track record of getting the best out of players who started their careers elsewhere.Brian Lake, Josh Gibson, David Hale, Shaun Burgoyne, Stuart Dew and James Frawley are among the players to play in premiership teams after switching clubs.Vickery was the eighth overall selection at the 2008 draft, but was largely unable to establish himself as an effective foil for full-forward Jack Riewoldt in eight seasons.He has kicked 158 goals in 119 games and was dropped twice this season, finishing his year in the VFL.Despite the demotion, coach Damien Hardwick was staunch in his support, claiming Vickery was a key part of his future plans.In other player news, St Kilda veteran Sean Dempster agreed to a one-year deal to play on with the Saints in 2017.The AFL trade period gets underway on Monday, with interest centred on the futures of Gold Coast pair Jaeger OMeara and Dion Prestia and Sydney onballer Tom Mitchell.

Kane Williamson the Test captain has big boots to fill. In the World T20, for example, not one press conference would go without a question on the leadership of Brendon McCullum, how New Zealand were going to miss him, and how Williamson was going to carry forward McCullums legacy. Williamson is his own man, he leads in his own way, and New Zealand fans would have hoped that Williamson would dissociate himself from McCullums habit of not winning tosses. Its early days - Williamson came into this series with an even record - but if there was ever a series a visiting captain wanted to win tosses in, it is one in India, against this Indian Test side.Especially on this Green Park pitch, which was dry, which had cracks, but which was watered enough in the lead-up to make sure it didnt break up on day one. The humidity must have made it worse for New Zealand. You could see they were looking to bang the ball in, not just to test India against the short ball, but to rough it up for reverse swing. The first rule of reverse swing is no moisture on the rough side, but you can imagine how tough it would have been to execute that for Mark Craig, whose kit was dripping wet even before the end of the first session. You have been called upon to do a job in the first session of the series, you are looking to find the right length on a new pitch, but can you mind the sweat please while you are at it?Its very tough when youre sweating quite a bit, but you just have to find a way to keep the ball dry to try get the reverse swing, Mitchell Santner said. Even for the spinners, to try and keep your hands dry is key to grip the ball.It wasnt helping that New Zealands spinners had shown that they were not versatile enough to be threatening on a surface that wasnt yet doing much for them. It might be a slightly unfair expectation for bowlers who are rarely called upon to do the job on good surfaces. Yet, there were technical shortcomings, as noticed by Simon Doull on commentary. Santner doesnt use his non-bowling arm much, which denies him dip and drift; Ish Sodhis release is beyond the perpendicular, which denies him sideways turn. These things begin to matter less when the pitch starts to turn square, which it wasnt. So, they kept getting cut and pulled.Cheteshwar Pujara and M Vijay were now putting on a workshop on how to demoralise spinners who are unfamiliar with the conditions. Pujara frequently left his crease to take balls on the full or on the half-volley. Both Pujara and Vijay were alert to cut when this act forced the spinners to pitch short. Also, it has seemed New Zealands spinners have come more prepared for square turners where accuracy is more important. Thats what Daniel Vettori told Santner.Our conversation was more about bowling the ball in one area for a longer period of time but still having plenty on it, Santner said. Not try and do too much, let the wicket come and play its part. With not so much turn, you try and be patient and build more dots, try and get wickets that way through false shots.You cant overnight become different kind of bowlers, but what will hurt New Zealand is that the spinners couldnt stay as acccurate as they would have wanted to on a slow pitch.dddddddddddd The wicket is on the slower side and it is difficult to score runs, Vijay said. Thats what we felt. It is going to be difficult for them as well with the quality of Ashwin and Jadeja in the side.Yeah, I guess we might have been on the shorter side, but its about trying to find the pace that will suit for that wicket, Santner said. It might change in the second innings, I dont know.New Zealand were still going at 3.2 an over when things began to change. Around half-way into the day, Pujara got quite close to the pitch of a ball from Santner. There wasnt a lot of distance for the ball to travel, but the ball still turned. It spooned off the outer half of the bat for an easy return catch. The ball had begun to turn now. The techniques mattered a little less, and New Zealand dipped into their reserves.This was a day when it seemed this new batting core will finally put things past a side when its down without any dramas. Pujara and Vijay had been fantastic, but they left the door ajar, which the rest failed to shut. Virat Kohli possibly came in looking to dominate. He is that kind of a player. He has been itching to dominate a touring side with the bat. This was his opportunity, he possibly thought. When you see a partnership of 112 at a fairly brisk pace, you dont want to lose that momentum as the batsman going in. Neil Wagner played on the batsmans ego, and drew the top edge. Ajinkya Rahane will be the first one to admit he didnt move forward enough to be playing the defensive shot off the front foot. This was the mode of dismissal that had troubled him last year, but he overcame it. Rahane will be working to overcome this too. Vijay said the whole team will be.A bit of both, Vijay said. We got out to loose shots as well. The wicket was deteriorating as well. We have got to be really patient on this wicket. It is a lesson learnt. We will, hopefully, put up a better show in the second innings.The biggest lesson to learn is there for Rohit Sharma, who fell to a nothing loft, 20 minutes before stumps, giving Trent Boult the opportunity to run through the lower order. Vijay, though, extended Rohit the leeway that he didnt to himself. After calling his dismissal a bad shot selection, he wasnt as harsh on Rohit.Thats his area, I guess, Vijay said. When it comes off, it always looks good. When it doesnt, you fall on the wrong side. So I think we still got to back our instincts and play because we are playing in a sport where have got to win matches rather than just participate in a team. Whatever has got you here, you have to back that.In the end, through the wonderful mix of skills, imperfections, passing of time, changes in the pitch, the toll of weather that Test cricket is, we had a days play befitting the occasion that Indias 500th Test has somehow become. Both teams - India because they have Ashwin and Jadeja, New Zealand because they made a comeback and because the turn is slow - could lay claim to holding the advantage. ' ' '
