Chadd Sayers is set to make it four of a possible four debutants for Australia in the day/night Test at Adelaide Oval on Thursday.ESPNcricinfo understands Sayers will join Matt Renshaw, Peter Handscomb and Nic Maddinson as part of the most drastically changed Australian Test team in more than 30 years, reflecting the dire circumstances in which he will enter the arena.Having been the most prolific Sheffield Shield wicket-taker of the past four seasons, Sayers will be granted the chance to swerve and seam the pink ball at the Adelaide Oval, where he plays for South Australia.The selectors have had Sayers in their thoughts since he was taken to New Zealand earlier this year. However, a foot injury sustained during the Sheffield Shield final on his return left him without a full pre-season, nor the opportunity to bowl for Australia A. Instead it was Sayers teammate Joe Mennie who got the first chance after Peter Siddle suffered a recurrence of a back complaint during the Perth Test.Sayers had first played for Australia A on a tour of the British Isles in 2013, after which he was told he did not have enough pace. I guess when you are taking wickets and then told you are not quick enough you probably question why, Sayers said after South Australias most recent Shield match, against Queensland in Brisbane.But I pushed on, kept taking wickets and here I am. I am never going to be a bloke who blasts sides out. If I get the chance I am not going to change anything - I am going to keep doing what got me this far.The inclusion of Sayers leaves only the question of whether or not Australia will go for four seamers in Adelaide or choose the spin of Nathan Lyon, who narrowly kept his place in the squad due mainly to a calf injury to Steve OKeefe.Jackson Bird, the other seam option, is back in the squad after being told he had been left out of the Perth squad due to Mennies superior lower-order batting. He played in a recent Shield match in Adelaide where Sayers claimed 11 wickets to rout Tasmania.Chadds been the best performer in Shield cricket for the last couple of years, Bird said. We played him here a few weeks ago and he hit the same spot every time and got 11 wickets for the match.He bowls an immaculate line and length, and hes got a great record here in Adelaide.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Amid all the pomp and circumstance of renaming Florida Field after Steve Spurrier, the most fitting way to honor him would be on the scoreboard Saturday.Maybe the 25th-ranked Gators should try to hang half a hundred on UMass.That was one of Spurriers most memorable quotes during his dozen years in Gainesville. It came after Florida beat Southeastern Conference rival Georgia 52-17 in Athens in 1995. It also was something the Gators did with regularity during Spurriers tenure.And after the way Florida ended last season -- scoring just two offensive touchdowns in the final three games -- players and coaches probably could use a little confidence-booster to start 2016.Pretty miserable, wasnt it? Florida coach Jim McElwain recalled. You had to sit through it, too. Im sorry. ... Im still hurting. Thats all I can say. That was miserable. Ill leave it at that. And Im sorry you had to go through it, too.The Gators ranked 112th in total offense in 2015, ahead of only Vanderbilt and Missouri in the SEC. They struggled to run the ball consistently and were close to inept in the passing game. The line was a problem -- Florida gave up a nation-leading 45 sacks -- and quarterback play was an even bigger issue.McElwain has vowed to be dramatically better on offense in his second season.His first chance to prove it comes in the opener against the Minutemen, who are entering their first season as an independent after going 8-40 in four years since moving to the Football Bowl Subdivision.The Gators will give journeyman Luke Del Rio his first collegiate start after he transferred from Alabama and then Oregon State in search of playing time. Del Rio beat out graduate transfer Austin Appleby and two freshmen.Del Rio, who sat out last season because of NCAA transfer rules, helplessly watched Florida stumble down the stretch.Anytime you finish 0-3, its the worst taste in your mouth, said Del Rio, the son of Oakland Raiders coach Jack Del Rio. Some teams might get hot and they lose a bowl game. `OK, we finished 5-1. But 0-3, thats tough to swallow.Spurrier only had one three-game losing streak (1999) during his Florida coaching career.Leading the Gators to six SEC titles andd the 1996 national championship, Spurrier helped put the program on the college football map for good.dddddddddddd He already has a Heisman Trophy statue from his playing days at Florida and has his name in the schools exclusive ring of honor.On Saturday, the Gators will officially unveil Steve Spurrier-Florida Field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Its better known as The Swamp, the nickname Spurrier gave it and a place the current team would like to see scoring half a hundred become more normal than notable again.I hope they put some winning turf in there or something, McElwain joked. Ive got to ask our grounds guy. But no, I think thats something special, and obviously for (Spurrier), I think what a fitting tribute. To have him back and be a part of that is something thats pretty neat.---Here are some other things to know as Florida and UMass begin the season:STREAKING GATORS: Florida has won 26 consecutive season openers, the longest streak in the country. The Gators are likely to extend it against UMass, but making it 28 in a row should be more challenging considering they open the 2017 season against Michigan in Arlington, Texas.FLORIDA SUSPENSIONS: McElwain suspended five players for the opener, including one senior he declined to name. The others are cornerback Jalen Tabor, tight end Cyontai Lewis and receivers Tyrie Cleveland and Rick Wells. Tabor and Lewis were suspended one game for fighting in practice. Cleveland and Wells were suspended for firing BB guns in a residence hall in July.GAME-CHANGER? Florida could potentially go from having one of the worst kicking situations in the country to one of the best. Eddy Pineiro will make his collegiate debut and should get considerable attention. A high school soccer player who has never kicked in a game, Pineiro drew interest from Alabama and Florida while making 70-yard-plus kicks and posting them on YouTube.RARE TRIP: The Minutemen last visited the Sunshine State on Dec. 12, 1964, when they lost to East Carolina 14-13 in the Tangerine Bowl. UMass is 1-1 all-time against teams from Florida. ' ' '
