Statistics can tell a story, but which story depends on which statistics. For example, how should Nathan Lyon expect to go against Pakistan at the Gabba this week? Badly, if you look at his Test record against Pakistan: three wickets at 140.66. Brilliantly, if you consider his Test record at the Gabba: 24 wickets at 23.95. It is the latter that gives Lyon confidence after he struggled against Pakistan in the UAE in 2014.They play spin well but hopefully I can generate a bit more bounce than I did in the UAE, Lyon said in Brisbane on Monday. Hopefully there will be a little bit more pace in the wicket as well so if there are any nicks they will carry and I will be able to hit the splice of the bats with a few bat-pads and a few caught I hope.Lyon is far from the only spinner who has enjoyed working at the Gabba: at no venue did Shane Warne take more Test wickets than the 68 he accumulated in Brisbane. And yet, every year Lyon is bemused - and amused - by the medias preoccupation with pace at the Gabba. Will Australia play four fast men? Lyon hasnt missed a Gabba Test, and hes not about to now.Ill tell you one thing, this is my sixth [Gabba] Test and every year you guys seem to write that, Lyon said. So Ill leave you guys to write that, that theres going to be four quicks and stuff. Im confident of playing, Ill put it that way.The Gabba pitches prepared by curator Kevin Mitchell Jr typically offer some movement off the surface and plenty of bounce - Lyon especially enjoys running his fingers up the back of the ball to get the ball to kick off the pitch. And he will do so this year with a certain monkey off his back, having picked up four wickets in the Adelaide Test against South Africa.Lyon may have more than 200 Test wickets but still was likely to be axed for the Adelaide Test had Steve OKeefe not suffered a calf niggle that rendered him unavailable for selection. When Lyon finally took his first wicket in the Adelaide Test, it ended a drought of 660 first-class deliveries without a wicket, stretching across Test and Sheffield Shield play.I felt like I was bowling well, Lyon said. There were a couple of chances that went down here and there but Im never going to sit here and blame anyone for missing a chance. We train hard enough and thats just the way cricket goes.I was actually happy with the way I was bowling and to be able to come out in Adelaide and contribute to a Test match win, thats my biggest thing. My biggest thing is bowling well in partnerships and going out there and taking 20 wickets as a bowling group.Joe Thomas Womens Jersey . After dropping their final six games of December, the Wild opened the new calendar year with four consecutive wins. Following a loss to Colorado on Saturday, Minnesota rebounded the following night to blank Nashville 4-0, but then had the tables turned on them Tuesday. Jim Brown Womens Jersey . - After leading the Saints to a fourth playoff appearance in five seasons, Drew Brees expressed confidence in the direction of his team and, perhaps more importantly, showed a willingness to listen to contract proposals if the team needs his help getting under the NFLs salary cap. http://www.brownsrookiestore.com/Browns-Greedy-Williams-Jersey/ . -- Jimmie Johnson held off a teammate, passed a pair of Hall of Famers, and dominated once more at Dover. Sheldrick Redwine Browns Jersey . Scott Kazmir allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning and the Indians maintained their hold on an AL wild-card spot with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night. Custom Cleveland Browns Jerseys .com) - Richie Incognito has reportedly been admitted to a psychiatric care unit in Arizona.RIO DE JANEIRO -- This has been a bit of a disappointing year for Justin Rose, especially considering his stature in the game.A world-class player for years, a major champion in 2013 at the U.S. Open, a decorated Ryder Cup player for Europe, Rose has not won in 2016.All of that can change Sunday, and in unique circumstances.Rose will be trying to win an Olympic gold medal, the first awarded in the sport in 112 years. Trying to stand above him on the medal stand will be Swedens Henrik Stenson, who last month won The Open in record-breaking fashion.The duo are friends, former neighbors at Lake Nona in Orlando and formed a good partnership two years ago at the Ryder Cup in Scotland.Quite clearly we are wanting the same thing tomorrow, said Rose, who leads Stenson by a shot and will be joined by Australias Marcus Fraser in the final pairing on Sunday.The Englishman and Team Great Britain representative put himself in this position with a 6-under-par 65, a score that ties his low round of the year.That last time he shot that score was during the first round of the Players Championship in May, but was never quite the same after that. A lingering back injury that surfaced in March became more severe, and Rose retreated to rehab and therapy, not returning until the U.S. Open.From there, he has played just the WGC-Bridgestone, The Open and the PGA Championship.I think the only thing thats held me back really from winning this year has been injury. Its been a little bit of a slow year for me, Rose said. I havent been able to be up to my normal speed in terms of practice. Probably since Doral (in March), Ive been struggling, to be honest with you. Its nice to be through that.I felt like my games been close for some time. I cant pinpoint exactly what Ive been doing diffferent this week.dddddddddddd Im probably putting just a touch better. Im definitely driving the ball well. Iron play could probably still improve. But you know, for the most part, Im probably just managing my game well this week.And its a good week to do it. While there is no prize money, no FedEx Cup points, there are world-ranking points. And pride. Rose for a long time has bought into the Olympics and golfs place in it and has enjoyed his time getting to meet and know those in and around Team Great Britain.The tournament, too, has had a different vibe -- one that he has enjoyed.I think its unique; more like a Ryder Cup than a major, but I would say its more unique than either of those two, Rose said. I couldnt pigeonhole it into either category to be honest with you, and thats been my whole approach to the Olympic Games, is that you cant compare it to anything else.I think its probably lived up to my expectations out there. I feel like the crowd has been a lot of fun to play in front of. Theres been a lot of goodwill for all of the players from all different nationalities, but at the same time you have your pockets of fans that are really cheering for you. Its been a fun crowd to be a part of. I was really surprised at the number of people out there today. I thought it was a very lively and buoyant atmosphere out there.It promises to be even better on Sunday, when the organizers have announced a sellout. Thats impressive for a nongolf country such as Brazil. But those who do show up will be witness to history, a first Olympic gold in 112 years, and the possibility that it will be won by someone who has a strong golf resume. ' ' '
