Ravindra Jadejas press conference was hilarious. It will most certainly be lost in translation, but it is worth reproducing it for the benefit of those who understand Hindi in its entire colour because what he said was instructive.He was talking about why India didnt ever feel they were in threat of ceding the advantage despite there being three partnerships in New Zealand innings, especially the 124-run stand between Kane Williamson and Tom Latham. Ab turning track pe ek partnership hoti hai. Uske baad naya batsman koi bhi jayega, uske liye itna footmarks dekh ke udhar unki…And now realising where he was going, Jadeja stopped. What usually follows this is beeped on TV. Or asterisked as its loose translation in text here will be. What Jadeja meant was one big partnership is always expected but it is no big deal on such turning tracks because when a new batsman comes in and he sees the footmarks and the rough, he goes…Thats where he stopped himself. What usually follows in Hindi can be loosely - and very loosely indeed - translated to, He goes holy f***. Had he said the whole sentence it wouldnt have been funny. The fact that he stopped himself was what made it hilarious. He stopped talking clichés and let himself go in a language he was most comfortable with, but also had the awareness to stop himself when he was about to say something he shouldnt be.The way Jadeja spoke of how the match went showed the confidence India went into the match with. New Zealand tried their best, but in hindsight did they really stand a chance? The batsmen couldnt pick from the hand which balls were going to turn and which were going straight on. Loose balls were few and far between. Fielding, especially catching, was at its best. On such a turning track six wickets were lbw, which in itself is testament to how accurate Jadeja and R Ashwin were.Jadeja said the accuracy bit was discussed with both Anil Kumble and Ashwin. He [Kumble] told me to go wide on the crease and bowl around the sixth stump for the left-hand batsmen because there was rough there. He told me to target putting as many balls as possible in that rough because from there, some balls were turning and some were going straight. That would have created doubts in the batsmens minds, so thats what we spoke of.Ashwin and I spoke of bowling at the stumps. Adjust our lines so that after the turn the ball ends up on the stumps. We knew well get maximum chances if we kept the threat of lbw or bowled alive. There wasnt much turn from the stumps so our initial plan was to string together maiden overs. We needed to give up fewer runs and that would also create pressure on them. Finally we executed our plan.Jadeja also said they were aware of the lack of experience in the New Zealand batting. He said they knew there werent many who could play a long chanceless innings.Jadejas biggest threat on such turning tracks is the straighter balls that he picks. New Zealand have said they dont pick him from the hand, and they try to play him off the pitch. Jadeja wasnt giving out his secrets although it is quite possible that on turning tracks it is the natural variation that carries balls straight. In the process he did compare this Kanpur track to the under-prepared tracks he grew up playing on in Saurashtra.We didnt have very well prepared grounds and pitches growing up. These are the kinds Ive been brought up on, the kinds where there were no groundsmen and we were just practising, Jadeja said. The facilities we had were of that kind, so having played on such pitches, Ive got an idea of how to bowl, which areas to bowl on, what speed to bowl at. From my childhood to Under-17, Under-19 till now, Ive played on turners or unprepared pitches. Having played so much on them, Ive got an idea now.P. J. Hall Jersey .

Raiders Jerseys Outlet . - The Oakland Raiders re-signed offensive lineman Khalif Barnes on Friday. Nick Nelson Jersey ., for the next three years with the signings on Monday of Daryl Townsend and Michael Carter.BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Swimming star Lilly King is holding her ground on doping.She wants cheaters out of the pool -- and out of international sports.On Friday, A little more than two weeks after the 19-year-old won the first of two Olympic gold medals, King embraced her new role as the unofficial spokeswoman for clean athletes everywhere.I dont think its necessarily a bad thing, she said during a news conference at Indiana University. If youre going to be the poster child for anything, I think thats a good thing. But I think if I feel the need to have the final word on something thats doping-related, then I guess Im fine with speaking out about that.I know Im right on every single thing about this, she added later.King arrived in Rio as a first-time Olympian and one of Americas rising young swimmers.While she wound up claiming gold in the 100-meter breaststroke and on the 400 medley relay team, it was what took place on the pool deck that turned her into a polarizing figure.After a television camera captured King wagging her finger at Russias Yulia Efimova in the 100 breast semifinals, King won her heat, climbed out of the pool and in a television interview explained she was no fan of athletes caught drug cheating.The comments were directed at Efimova, who took the silver in the 100 breast and then beat King in the 200 breast.Before returning home, Efimova called King immature and criticized her rival for creating a war on the Olympic stage.King didnt back down then and refused to do so again Friday.Actually, I had no intention of planning to speak out. ... That was really just me being myself, she said. I didnt really think I was saying anything horrible, I was just kind of speaking my mind.Other American swimmers and Indiana coach Ray Looze, who was on the coaching staff in Rio, immediately backed King.Their position hasnt changed, either.She was speaking her mind, saying what everyone else was thinking, said Cody Miller,, who attended Indiana and also brought home two medals.dddddddddddd There are people who were missing out on swimming in the Olympics because of people who didnt deserve to be there.Even with the Olympic Games over, King cant escape the controversy.Shes become a target of critics on social media, especially from Russia. King said the comments come from Russia and are quite interesting even though she can only read about half because shes not fluent in Russian.Others are a little more disconcerting.It is a little frustrating sometimes, like when I post a picture of me and my friend on Instagram and theyre saying things like `You dont deserve your gold medal, she said.But now that King is back on home soil, preparing for her sophomore season at Indiana, the hardest part will be getting ready for dual meets that lack the intensity of international competition.And at least she is surrounded by fans who largely agree with her opinion that the sports world needs to be cleaned up.The support has been great, especially from the people back home, King said. Theres something about people who are probably my parents age about the U.S.-Russia thing, which I didnt even really think about. But the support has been absolutely unreal.The other big swimming controversy -- Ryan Lochtes tale about an alleged robbery -- also has caused a stir on campus.King called it sad that Lochte stole the spotlight from the greatest American swim team in history.Looze, meanwhile, was upset that the evolving story overshadowed the second week of the Olympics. And when Looze returned to Bloomington, Indiana, he also had to engage in damage control.I have a Brazilian on my (Indiana) team and another Brazilian coming in and I had to apologize to both of them last night, Looze said. I told them its not representative of our country. ' ' '
