Test sides bowl with plans to get batsmen out. The field, your history with certain bowlers and certain dismissals, the bowlers strengths, and your own habits usually indicate what that plan is. Rarely does the plan catch you by surprise. So the big screen at Eden Gardens did not need to show Virat Kohlis dismissal in Kanpur just after Neil Wagner had bowled his second bouncer at Indias captain. From the end that that Wagner was bowling those bouncers, the High Court End, the big screen was right in Kohlis eye line at long-off. It is possible he saw it too. Wagner bowling short with a deep fine leg and a deep square leg, right between his chest and his shoulder, Kohli hooking and top-edging it for an easy catch. They might as well have played Kohli under-edging a hook in Auckland to a ball wide enough to be cut.It was no secret, what the plan was. Bounce him, deny him, then bowl the sucker ball. If he wants to take the short ball on, you have the field. This time a forward and a backward short leg to go with deep fine leg and deep square leg.Different batsmen deal differently with plans. Some prefer to see that period out; let the bowlers give their best, absorb everything they have got, and then take on lesser or tired bowlers. Some hate to allow bowlers to bowl to a plan. They want to defeat the plan. The batsmans ego then takes over. Kohli usually falls in the second category, which is why New Zealand felt they could play on his patience.To be fair to Kohli, both times in Kanpur he came out in situations where he could attempt to dominate. Perhaps the situation of the innings made him play the shots he did. Here he was going to show more patience, having walked in at 28 for 2 on a pitch helpful enough to quicks, thereby allowing the New Zealand bowlers to bowl to a plan. One of the reasons you felt this patience was going to be short-lived, though, is Kohlis insistence on not letting the bowler dominate.The other big reason was that between chest and shoulder is Wagners top of off. And he is a beast when it comes to fitness and endurance. He has the field, and he can bowl to that field for long periods. You feel he will tire at some point, he doesnt. Once, in Christchurch, he took six wickets with bouncers after Australia had dominated their way to 356 for 2. None of his first five wickets was a fend, they were all aggressive shots. The batsmen had just tired of ducking and weaving. Wagner hadnt tired of bowling bouncers. Add to that that Kohli has that batsmans ego, which hates it when the bowlers think they have an obvious plan. So started this great dance. Wagner bowling bouncers. None of them to be sanctioned by the umpire. Kohli looking to show patience - for how long, you wondered. Duck. Duck. Replay on big screen. Fended in front of rib cage. Get inside the line with the short ball worryingly following you. Behind the line to fend. Another duck.Six balls were enough. Having watched Mitchell Santner tie Pujara up at the other end, Kohli pulled the first ball of Wagners next over, but he was on it too late and was lucky the mis-hit didnt go to hand. Two more bouncers followed in that Wagner spell. Kohli ducked one, and then rose to his toes to fend off the other.With nine bouncers bowled to Kohli, with the batsman on 4 off 22 balls, New Zealand thought Wagner had done his job. Wagner had softened the joint with many blows, now a precision artist was required to break it. Enter Trent Boult. For a moment, when he drove beautifully off the first ball he faced from Boult, it seemed like Kohli had seen off the tough period. The bowler corrected his length for the next two balls, denying Kohli the drive, and then bowled the sucker ball that was part of the original plan. Short of driving length but full enough to draw the batsman forward, wide outside off, away from Kohlis reach.Teams have always tried to get Kohli out by denying him outside off, bowling out of reach of his cover drive. Kohli doesnt want that to happen. On flatter pitches he bulldozes that plan, as he did in Australia. This is not to say that his way is always the wrong way or the right way. Arguably you need different characters in the team, who handle bowlers plans differently. As Kohli said a day before the match, as cricketers all you can do is prepare the best you can because of the amount of luck involved in the game.The shot that Kohli eventually played, there was no way he could have controlled it. Now it was all down to luck. Perhaps the edge would go too fast. Too high. Perhaps the man at gully would drop it. Perhaps the bowler has overstepped. Through his impatience and shot selection, Kohli had brought luck into it. It did not go his way. New Zealand celebrated a plan well executed. Joel Payamps Jersey .

Murray beat Sam Querrey 7-6 (5), 6-7 (3), 6-1, 6-3 to clinch Britains opening-round victory against the United States on Sunday at Petco Park. "Im proud of the way Im playing just now, because I had to do a lot of work to get back to where I want to be," Murray said after celebrating with his teammates on the red clay court in a temporary stadium in left field of the downtown home of baseballs San Diego Padres. Mike Morgan Jersey .ca. Hey Kerry, big fan of yours, just finished reading your book. I think that we all saw the Canucks/Flames line brawl just after puck drop. It was obvious that something was about to happen, even to the referees because the fourth lines were on to start. Greg Swindell Jersey . Its sharpness matched my mind. This was no night to go to sleep. RENO, Nev. -- Martin Laird of Scotland made eight birdies to lead the Barracuda Championship on Thursday with more than just a PGA Tour victory on the line.Because of the West Virginia floods that led to The Greenbrier Classic being canceled next week, a spot in the British Open has been transferred to the leading player not already eligible at the Barracuda Championship.The British Open is at Royal Troon and Scotland.He still has a long way to go and plenty of players, including former champion Gary Woodland, right behind him.Laird has plenty of experience handling the high altitude of Montreux Golf and Country Club because he left Scotland to play golf at Colorado State and has been based out of America his entire professional career.He finished with 15 points in the modified Stableford scoring that awards five points for an eagle, two points for a birdie and deducts one point for a bogey and two points for a double bogey or worse.I played five years at 5,000 feet, so Im pretty comfortable with the yardages, Laird said. Its hard to make yourself trust it sometimes. I almost know how far I hit my clubs anyway without having to do the adjustments. So thats a little easier for me. ... Youve got to go with what you think it is and hit your shot.Woodland, who won at Reno in 2013, was tied for the lead when he missed a 10-foot birdie putt on the 17th and then hit his second sshot with a 6-iron into the water on the par-5 18th, leading to a bogey that cost him a point.dddddddddddd That put him at 14 points along with Camilo Villegas and Greg Chalmers.Swing like an idiot, Woodland said. Really the two bad golf swings I made were on the par 5s on the back.Villegas, playing in the same group with Woodland, missed a 7-foot birdie putt on the final hole that would have given him the lead.We both had a great day, Villegas said. I got going pretty hard from the beginning, and then Gary got going there with an eagle on No. 8.The scoring system awards aggressive play. Villegas made seven birdies with no bogeys (that would have been a 65), while Woodland had six birdies and an eagle, offset by three bogeys. In normal play, he would have shot 67. Chalmers also had six birdies, one eagle and three bogeys.Made a couple of bogeys, bounced back real quick and got going the right direction, Chalmers said. This format is about making a lot of birdies and eagles.Colt Knost was in the group at 13 points.The group at 9 points included Graham DeLaet of Canada, playing for the first time in a month to sort out anxiety issues of his putting, and Carlos Ortiz of Mexico, who needs a good week to have any chance of getting into the Olympics.
