Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou has savaged standards of European football, declaring the A-League to be as good as many overseas leagues.Returning from a scouting trip to name his latest World Cup qualifying squad, Postecoglou said suggested he wasnt eager to head back to watch overseas-based Australians in action.Watch some football from Europe. Its hard to watch. Its very poor in standard, he said.Im not just talking about the UK. Ive just come back from Europe and I wont mention the clubs but I saw a couple of first-division games and I could have walked out at half-time.Thats not a knock on them, its paying credit to our competition.Postecoglou said a case in point was Aaron Mooy, widely regarded as the best Australian in the A-League last season.Mooy was signed by Manchester City and loaned to second-tier Huddersfield Town, where hes helped the unfashionable club climb to top of the table.The Asian Cup-winning coach suggested anyone who was surprised needed to take off their Europe-tinted glasses.Im not surprised and I dont know why we should be, he said.The only surprise was he wasnt picked up by a Premier League club.Im sure that will happen at some point. Maybe hell get Huddersfield up and theyll sign him.If anything I think hes got more in him. They havent seen his goals yet and hell start scoring a few as well.Postecoglou said despite the pain, he would persist with monitoring and scouting the full gamut of footballers eligible for Socceroos duty.Theres no one that isnt getting watched. Everyones getting assessed by me personally, he said.He urged any local Eurosnobs wanting to watch high-quality football to tune in to the A-League.We shouldnt continually seek some sort of validation for our competition, he said.If a player does well in our competition it means hes got to be a good footballer.The A-League kicks off on October 7 when Brisbane Roar host Melbourne Victory.

Still, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke thought taking him out before the fifth inning was an unusual move. "Im looking up at the board and hes got two hits given up and one run, and Im taking him out after the fourth inning," Roenicke said. Black soil means slow turn The pitch at Chepauk for this game is made of black soil and therefore it should be expected to get slower as the match progresses. The square at Chepauk has two different kinds of pitches - a couple with red soil and a few with black soil. The former is used whenever a rank turner is the requirement (mostly in Ranji games) and the latter for a typical Indian surface that turns but not viciously. The toss is important but not as important as it was at Wankhede - where England managed to squander that advantage.Importance of the full ball The new SG ball rarely swings and theres little lateral movement off the pitch in India. The only thing a fast bowler plays with is the marginal change of lines and length, and the early skepticism of openers. In the sixth over, Ishant Sharma bowled a full, wide ball luring Keaton Jennings into a big booming drive. Openers are so focused on balls pitching in the good-length area that, at times, they are caught unawares by the full ball. In any case, Jennings weight is on the back foot in the initial stages of his innings and is therefore always a little late on his shots.Root starts where he left off in Mumbai Batting is a lot about the mind space that youre in and Joe Root has shown how it dictates your response. Root wasnt a happy sweeper in the early part of this Test series, definitely not in the early part of the innings but it changed in the second innings of the fourth Test. The pitch at Wankhede forced Root to sweep right from the beginning, for that was the only way to survive on a wilting pitch. In Chepauk, he picked up where left off in Mumbai, sweeping Ravindra Jadeja and Amit Mishra fairly early in his innings. It must be said that the first-day pitch at Chepauk isnt half as alarming, although, in the end, Root was dismissed sweeping at Jadeja.Ashwins drift and dip The first ball of the 27th over, bowled by Ravichandran Ashwin, drifted away in the air and went straight on with the arm, to which Root defended on the front foot.dddddddddddd The following ball drifted in to which Root stepped out, only to see it dipping a foot shorter. These two deliveries showcased the deception Ashwin creates in the air.Tough call The idea of staying with the umpires call on DRS is to discourage players from marginal reviews and to maintain the sanctity of the on-field umpire. To an extent, its also an acknowledgment of technology not being 100% accurate. While this does make sense, one wonders why the team should be penalised for it. Mishra appealed for a leg-before against Moeen Ali and, while the ball hit the pads in front of the wicket, Hawk-Eyes projection showed that it would have just clipped leg stump instead of hitting it fully. Now, that cant be considered a bad review and therefore it is a little unfair to penalise India for it, as losing a review might mean an umpiring howler later in the innings going uncorrected.Bairstows driving lesson Jonny Bairstow played an English shot on an Indian pitch. He tried to drive one on the up and hit it straight to the fielder placed for the catch in the covers. If you want to play along the ground off the front foot, you must get to the pitch of the ball, because every now and then it will either stop or turn more than expected. Moeen played in an almost identical manner but fortunately none of his shots went close to the India fielders.(Lack of) bouncers to Moeen Ishant dimissed Moeen with a bouncer at Lords in 2014. Mohammed Shami dismissed Moeen with a bouncer in Mohali two weeks ago. Considering these facts you are almost sure that there will be bouncers the moment he walks out to bat. Therefore it was surprising to see so few bowled to him on the first day of the Chennai Test. ' ' '
