New Zealand fast bowler Tim Southee has been ruled out of the three-match Test series against India which begins on September 22 in Kanpur after a scan revealed a grade two ligament strain in his left ankle. Southee felt pain in his left foot during a training session and will now head back to New Zealand for rest and rehabilitation with a goal to be fit for the start of the five-match ODI series beginning on October 16 in Dharamsala.Tim has been working hard in preparation for this tour, so hes understandably very disappointed to be ruled out of all three Tests, said New Zealand coach Mike Hesson. The focus now is for Tim to give his ankle 7-10 days rest, before slowly building his bowling loads back up ahead of the ODI series.The injury news robs New Zealand of their most experienced Test bowler, with Southee having taken 177 wickets in 52 Tests. Trent Boult is the next most capped New Zealand bowler, having played 43 Tests.Matt Henry has been drafted in as Southees replacement. Henry, 24, has played four Tests for New Zealand since debuting against England at Lords in May 2015. His last Test came in February against Australia at Christchurch where he finished with 0 for 134 in a combined 41 overs across both innings of Australias seven-wicket win. He was included in New Zealands Test squads for the tour of Zimbabwe and South Africa but did not play in any of the four Tests. Jayson Werth Nationals Jersey .

"We have always prided ourselves on the way we play defence.

This week they discuss . Bruce Arthur, National Post: My thumb is down to whoever let Justin Bieber play with the Stanley Cup this week. Pictures of the vacant-headed teen jerk posing with the trophy were pure hockey PR; he stepped on Chicagos sacred carpet logo, but frankly, they were lucky he didnt pee on it. But that annoyed feeling washed away when the next set of Cup pictures surfaced - Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville in a childrens hospital, with patients beaming, laughing, hugging the Stanley Cup. It really did have better things to do. Gary Lawless, Winnipeg Free Press: My thumb is down to painting Eric Lindros as a man of poor character for having the courage to try and shape his own destiny. Esteemed colleague and member of the HHOF selection committee Mark Defoy said on Winnipeg radio this week that, "some people might hold a grudge," against Lindros. For what? Because Lindros had the gall to try and control where he played hockey as a teenager and then later as an adult? The Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds didnt have to trade his rights and neither did the Quebec Nordiques. Lindros took a stand. Others turned their back on personal principle and then whinged in the aftermath. Lindros should or shouldnt get in the HHOF for what he did on the ice, nott for being strong enough to go against the grain.dddddddddddd Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: My thumb is down to the New York Yankees for cavalier treatment of their most prized asset, Derek Jeter. Jeter missed this weekend series against Minnesota because of a strained quadriceps, which he sustained in his first game back after an abbreviated stint rehabbing a broken ankle. The Yankees panicked when the already skimpy lineup was further decimated by midweek injuries to Travis Hafner and Brett Gardner. So they called on the venerable captain, even though he had played just 22 innings in four minor league games. Hey, Jeter is 39. He cant outrun father time. And he shouldnt have been put in a position where he had to leg out infield hits. Dave Hodge, TSN : My thumb is down as I try to make sense of the Blue Jays inability or unwillingness to sign their first round draft pick, California high school pitcher Phil Bickford. Instead of turning pro with the Jays, Bickford will attend college at Cal State Fullerton. I dont pretend to know how good a prospect he is, but the Jays didnt select Bickford with the 10th overall pick thinking he was ordinary. They didnt choose him with the intention of not signing him. So why didnt they or why couldnt they? They wont say. They are the only team that failed to sign their first round pick. So I scratch my head with my thumb… pointed down. ' ' '
