Jos Buttler looks set to return to Englands Test side as a specialist batsman. Bud Norris Blue Jays Jersey . Buttler, who was dropped as wicketkeeper a year ago, has only played one first-class game since but such is the England managements belief in his ability - and, just as importantly, the modest form of the alternative options - that he looks certain to be recalled for the third Test against India in Mohali.The man to make way will be Ben Duckett. While the England coach, Trevor Bayliss, remains a believer in Ducketts natural talent, his struggles against spin appear to have convinced the team management that to subject him to further exposure could damage his long-term development. He has scored 18 runs in the three innings he has played in the series against India and seen a technical weakness against quality offspin from R Ashwin exposed in merciless fashion.There are only two spare batsmen in the squad: Gary Ballance, who was dropped after the Bangladesh portion of the tour, and Buttler.For all Buttlers ability, he has an oddly modest record in red-ball cricket. He only once reached 30 in his last 12 Test innings (his highest score in that period was 42) and he has a first-class average of 32.07; notably lower than Chris Woakes.But the team management have long believed that his problem was temperamental rather than technical. They hope that he will take the confidence he shows in limited-overs cricket into the longest format and will encourage him to play in that same positive manner.The one thing with Jos, Bayliss said, is that if he plays the same way as he does in one-day cricket, I think thats the way ahead for him; red ball or white ball. I think hes starting to get his head around that fact.Hes in the top echelon of destructive batters when it comes to white-ball cricket, and theres no reason - if he can get his head around playing against a red ball - that he cant do the same and put the pressure back on the opposition.Buttlers lack of match practice is far from ideal. He played in one red-ball warm-up match in Bangladesh a month ago (he scored 4 in his only innings and was dropped once as well), but it remains an irony that a nation that plays as much and appears to plan ahead as England should find itself in such a position.This predicament was created by an odd combination of events, though. First Buttler was encouraged to play in the IPL and then, just as he would have embarked upon a spell of County Championship cricket with Lancashire, he sustained a thumb injury in a T20 match against Worcestershire. But Bayliss hopes that his form in the nets can be transferred to a Test.Hes certainly hitting the ball very well in the nets, Bayliss said. Yes, we would have liked him to have a hit-out at some stage, but it is what it is these days. Weve no time to fit one in. If he does come in I think hell give it his best shot.While Duckett looks certain to be dropped, Bayliss remains an admirer of his ability and his work-ethic and maintained that, aged 22, he has time to come again.I think hes got a special talent, Bayliss said. Whether he plays the next match or not, I think hell play a lot more for England. Every level you get to, you go up. It gets harder and harder, and the step is bigger. Bens working harder than anyone in the nets to try to fix things up, getting himself into a position that he is confident enough to score runs. Jesse Barfield Blue Jays Jersey .C. at the helm of the top team in the Eastern Conference. His tenure as the GM in Vancouver was all too brief.

They were putting most of their energy into a record-setting offensive display. STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Penn State coach James Franklin said this week that the Nittany Lions needed to show opponents the ability to win games solely by the pass if the ground game goes awry; with 372 yards rushing against Maryland on Saturday, its a theory they didnt need to prove.Saquan Barkley ran for 202 yards, quarterback Trace McSorley added 81 more and threw a pair of touchdown passes to lead Penn State over Maryland 38-14 in front of a homecoming crowd of 100,778.McSorley accounted for 233 total yards, throwing for 152, as the Nittany Lions (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten) had a season-high 524 total yards and snapped Marylands five game win streak.Its simple, Franklin said. Its upfront. If youre good up front across the offensive line and the defensive line, you have a chance to be successful.Penn State has gotten off to slow starts in each of its games this season. The Nittany Lions shook that off with a seven-play, 84-yard touchdown drive on its opening possession that featured four plays of 17 yards or more and capped by a 5-yard scoring pass from McSorley to tight end Mike Gesicki.It was huge for us to get that first touchdown, said McSorley. We were able to get Beaver Stadium rocking.Barkley averaged 6.5 yards on 31 carries.I didnt do anything spectacular today, Barkley said. The offensive line took over and did a good job. We kind of felt we could run the ball; we hadnt been getting our running game going. The offensive line did an outstanding job. I saw that we had 300 some yards and I told them (linemen), `its all you.We got off to a fast start today, Barkley added. Weve been able to put 30 points on the board but we havent started on fire.Penn State had four sacks and limited Maryland (4-1, 1-1) to 270 total yards, including 170 on the ground. The Terps came in averaging 300 yards rushing per game in victories over Howard, Florida International, Central Florida and Purdue. Lorenzo Harrison led the Terps with 76 yards rushing.Maryland was forced to play without veteran quarterback Perry Hills during the second half; Hills injured his shoulder on a second-quarter keeper deep in Penn State territory and Maryland coach D.J. Durkin said it was not in Hills best interest to return in the second half.We have to play better, we have to coach better, Durkin said. We made dumb mistakes. We have to stay within the scheme of our offensse. Alen Hanson Jersey. Maryland closed to within 17-14 late in the first half when Tyrrell Pigrome, subbing for the injured Hills, scored on his first snap with a 7-yard run. But Barkley peeled off a 25-yard run and one play later a 45-yard scoring jaunt to put the Lions up by 10 at the half.Its really indescribable how we played that next series on defense, Durkin said. We didnt call it well, we didnt execute it well; I cant even begin to describe it.Penn State penalties and a Barkley fumble enabled the Terps to stay within striking distance until McSorley hooked up with DeAndre Thompkins on a 70-yard scoring pass late in the third quarter to make it 31-14.Offensively, we put up some good numbers and did some good things, Penn States Franklin said. I thought we matched up well against this team on the O-line and the D-line. The games that weve matched up well, weve had success.KEY INJURIES: Tackle Andrew Nelson, arguably Penn States top lineman, injured his right knee late in the first half and likely will be lost for the season, Franklin said. Penn State freshman punter Blake Gillikin was injured when Maryland blocked a first-half punt and did not return.TARGETING A KICKER: Penn State kicker Joey Julius made jarring tackles against Kent State and Michigan this season and as a result has drawn blocking interest on kickoffs. He was the victim of a late hit against Minnesota and the Gophers Jaylen Waters was ejected. Saturday, Julius was knocked down late by Marylands Isaiah Davis after his second-half kickoff had sailed out of bounds and Davis was ejected. If he (Davis) wasnt thrown out of the game, he would have been removed by me, Durkin said. That is not us. We had momentum to start the half and that swung it the other way. Julius, who weighs 260 pounds, revealed on Facebook last week that he underwent treatment over the summer in a St. Louis facility for an eating disorder.UP NEXTMARYLAND: After playing three of its first five games on the road, Maryland returns home to face Minnesota on Oct. 15.PENN STATE: The Nittany Lions have an open date Oct. 15 prior to playing their third straight home game on Oct. 22 against No. 2 Ohio State; the Buckeyes will be Penn States second top-five opponent this season.
