Tamme went down with a shoulder injury on the first possession.

Dravid delivers a double masterclassIndia vs. West Indies, Jamaica, 2006India had only won one series outside the subcontinent in the 20 years before this tour, and that was in Zimbabwe. They were favourites to win this series despite the absence of the injured Sachin Tendulkar, but the scoreline was still 0-0 going into the fourth and final Test at Sabina Park. A tricky pitch with unpredictable bounce awaited, and, having chosen to bat, India were 3 for 2 in no time. Wickets kept falling at one end, but the man who walked in at No. 4, Rahul Dravid, delivered a masterclass at the other, staying at the crease for more than five-and-a-half hours to score 81 and take India to a total of 200.It was enough to secure a first-innings lead of 97, with no one in the West Indies line-up showing comparable patience and application. Indias advantage, though, seemed to be slipping away when they slumped to 6 for 2, and again Dravid stood alone, his 68 helping set West Indies a target of 269. It proved a touch too far out of reach, despite aggressive half-centuries from Ramnaresh Sarwan and Denesh Ramdin, as Anil Kumble steadily chipped away to pick up a six-wicket haul and deliver India a 49-run win. Kumble was the only man in Indias side born before April 1971, when India had last won a series in the West Indies.By Karthik KrishnaswamySreesanth steamrolls South AfricaIndia vs. South Africa, Johannesburg, 2006If S Sreesanths career were to be remembered for one match, it would have to be the one in which he steamrolled South Africa on a pacy Wanderers pitch to set up Indias first ever Test win in the country.The pre-match talk was about how South Africas pace attack would bully India into submission; the post-match chatter sought to examine how the opposite had happened. A large part of the answer lay in performance of the wiry 23-year-old pace sensation from Kerala.Bowling with pace and swing, Sreesanth took a five-wicket haul to blow South Africa away for 84 and give India a 165-run first-innings lead. India ultimately set South Africa a target of 402 and romped home to a 123-run victory.But one of the most memorable passages of play involved the contest, in Indias second innings, between Andre Nel, the bowler, and Sreesanth, the batsman. Sreesanth did not particularly relish the nasty bouncers Nel directed at him. He had even less of a liking for the nasty words. With tempers mounting, Sreesanth slogged Nel for a six down the ground and broke into an elaborate, bat-twirling, hip-gyrating jig.It was the touch of madness that underpinned so much of Sreesanths compelling intensity and match-turning brilliance. At the Wanderers in 2006, India was grateful for it.By Sirish RaghavanZaheer Khan bowls India to what turns out to be a series-winning TestIndia vs. England, Trent Bridge, 2007This Test was to become a marker of Indian excellence in that English summer. India got away with a hair-raising draw at Lords, settled under Nottinghams grey skies, and ended up looking more at home than the home team. Indias bowlers made good first use of a damp wicket, England all out for 198, Sreesanth succeeding in annoying the opposition and getting their wickets. A scratch opening combination of Dinesh Karthik and Wasim Jaffer negated the new ball with a century stand and Indias greatest middle order - Dravid, Tendulkar Ganguly and Laxman - revelled in what was to be their final England tour together.As India pushed past 450, there came the jelly beans. Scattered on the pitch to annoy Zaheer Khan, all they did was rile him into producing what he was to call his best spell overall. India were ahead by 283, and Zaheer returned to give England an exhibition of high-quality swing bowling. A bowler at the top of his craft, Zaheer used the width of the crease, went round the wicket and moved the ball both ways to produce befuddling angles for the batsmen. By the time he was done with 5-75, England were all out for 355; India was to knock off the 73 required, and take the first step towards winning an away series in England in 21 years.By Sharda UgraIndia rebound after Sydney shamblesIndia vs. Australia, Perth, 2008It was a Test win especially significant in light of what had gone before. Australia, then the No. 1 ranked team, had won their previous 16 Tests. Of greatest salience was the last of those 16 wins - in the 2nd Test against India, at the SCG.Australia had won that match by 122 runs, but controversies surrounding umpiring decisions, unsportsmanlike conduct and a highly charged incident between Harbhajan Singh and Andrew Symonds had caused bad blood between the teams and almost led to Indias withdrawal from the tour.When India arrived at the WACA, 2-nil down in the four-match series, they were not greatly fancied to end Australias streak. This was, after all, a venue where no subcontinent team had won a Test. Moreover, the demoralising defeats in Melbourne and Sydney, and the distractions that followed the latter defeat, had presumably left them ill-prepared to take on the worlds best side at one of the more daunting Test venues.Or so one thought. Instead, India turned out a spirited team effort to beat Australia by 72 runs. Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid laid the platform in the first innings, VVS Laxman directed a crucial rearguard effort in the second, and opening bowlers RP Singh and Irfan Pathan led the wicket-taking operation. And who can forget the dazzling spells of a 19-year-old fast bowler who repeatedly got the better of Ricky Ponting? That bowler, now 28, is Ishant Sharma, the only remaining link between that team and Indias current Test XI.By Sirish Raghavan Wholesale Shoes UK .C. -- Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Bobcats got off to a fast start, and the Sacramento Kings were never quite able to catch up.

Shoes UK Online Cheap .Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse connections once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach. FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Falcons coach Dan Quinn got just the finish he was looking for in a last-minute win over Green Bay.With a short turnaround this week before Thursdays divisional showdown at Tampa Bay, Atlanta (5-3) earned the kind of tight victory Quinn relishes.When you come through in those, for sure it gives you something, Quinn said Monday. To get the job done yesterday was significant.Quinn likes that its not just quarterback Matt Ryan, receiver Julio Jones and cornerback Desmond Trufant, the teams most talented defender, making plays this year.After starting last year 6-1 and missing the playoffs in Quinns first season, Atlanta is getting contributions from unexpected sources like receiver Taylor Gabriel, tight end Austin Hooper and veteran safety Kemal Ishmael.Two veterans, receiver Mohamed Sanu and defensive end Adrian Clayborn, stepped up in Sundays 33-32 win over Green Bay to fill big roles.Sanu, whom the Falcons signed early in the free agency, caught the winning touchdown pass as the Packers double-teamed Jones, the NFLs leading receiver at kickoff, on seemingly every snap.Jones tweaked his knee early in the game and was targeted just five times, catching three passes for 29 yards, but he freed up Sanu, Gabriel, Hooper and others to get free in man-to-man matchups.Sanu was targeted 10 times and finished with a team-high nine catches, five on the winning drive, for 84 yards.For a guy with his size to have that kind of catching radius -- Matt can put it away from a defender -- hell go get it, Quinn said. That totally shows up. Weve thrown some screens to him where he has to lower his shoulder and become a runner to earn some extra yards after contact. I like that part of his game as well.Clayborn had a third-down sack in the third quarter and another early in the fourth. The Packers had to punt from midfield both times.Gabriel, a second-year veteran originally signed as a college frree agent by Cleveland, caught a stunning 47-yard touchdown pass late in the first quarter.ddddddddddddooper, a third-round pick, took charge after starting tight end Jacob Tamme went down with a shoulder injury on the first possession. He caught all five of his targeted passes for 51 yards.Ishmael, with a team-leading 50 tackles, filled in earlier this year for starting rookie safety Keanu Neal and played a couple of games at linebacker when Atlanta had injuries to DeVondre Campbell, Deion Jones and Sean Weatherspoon.Sanu said the players have bought in to Quinns message of resiliency.We were going back-and-forth, back-and-forth and once we had the ball with four minutes left, I was like, `We got to go down and score, Sanu said. It was me and Julio on one side, and so I motioned out to where we were. But Julio ran outside and drew two guys and left me one-on-one with the linebacker.Game notes Jones was checked out by doctors and cleared to practice Monday. Quinn said he will be ready to start against Tampa Bay. ... Tamme, the teams fourth-leading receiver with 22 catches for 210 yards, will not play this week because of an injured shoulder. ... RB Tevin Coleman (hamstring) and DE Dwight Freeney (quadriceps) did not practice. ... Jones, LG Andy Levtire (foot), DT Grady Jarrett (shoulder) and CB Brian Poole (foot) were limited in practice. ... Three of the Falcons seven penalties came in the first half for an illegal formation as Gabriel, RT Ryan Schraeder and Jones were flagged. Quinn said the officials penalized Atlanta for covering up the receiver at the line of scrimmage. We just backed our tight end up more, he said. They were treating it as a shift and it was a motion. More of a procedural call for them.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
