7Mohammad Amir (two matches, seven wickets at 28. Shaqiri Liverpool Shirt .57) He is keeping count of the catches dropped off his bowling. By his measure, its at least 12 in Tests since his return. Bowled the best over of the series, in Hamilton, but cruelly had to settle for just one wicket from it. He wasnt always menacing - particularly once the juice had left the pitches, but he was the bowler New Zealands batsmen seemed least keen on facing.Sohail Khan (two matches, seven wickets at 38.14, 94 runs at 23.5) Has pecs like adjoining cliffs, and forearms like neem branches, but it is Sohails wit that got him most of his wickets this series, though the muscles did help with his batting. He was expensive in the second innings at Hamilton, but was otherwise good in a series that didnt really feature the outswing he relies on.Babar Azam (two matches, 142 runs at 47.33) His 90 not out wasnt the highest score in the series, but it may have been the most impressive innings, as more experienced teammates crashed and burned around him. Has a back foot punch as sublime as his monobrow, and in his efficient footwork and ability to pick length early, he may have the tools to become a very good batsman. This has been said of plenty of young Pakistan batsmen before. We can only hope Azam doesnt become another cautionary tale.Imran Khan (one match, six wickets at 21.33) Bowled accurately on a helpful deck in Hamilton, delivering some especially memorable indippers to right-handed batsmen, though he picked up a wicket off a terrible, short, wide ball as well. Wasnt the most threatening Pakistan bowler, but was the most disciplined in the Test he played.6Rahat Ali (one match, four wickets at 21.50) Was the best of Pakistans bowlers on the third morning at Hagley Oval, which was maybe the visitors best session of the whole series. Despite having achieved his teams best haul in that game, was unrequired in Hamilton.5Sami Aslam (two matches, 122 runs at 30.50) Could have played for a maiden Test hundred on the final day of the series, but instead he perished slogging unselfishly for the team. Nicked off twice to Tim Southee when the ball was angled across him, but this is a common enough ailment for left-handed openers. Coaches might do well to keep him out of the slips for a little while, at least until some catching confidence can be regained.Azhar Ali (two matches, 105 runs at 26.25) His 31 at Hagley Oval came off 173 deliveries. His 58 at Seddon Park off 161. Clearly Azhar has an impressive defensive technique in difficult positions, but in this series, he didnt quite convert that into a substantial advantage for his team.4Misbah-Ul-Haq (one match, 44 runs at 22.00) In keeping with a theme for the senior batsmen, Misbah spent a lot of time at the crease at Hagley Oval without scoring many runs. His mis-hit hook off a Southee bouncer sparked a collapse in the second innings of that match. Was unavailable for the second Test due to tragic family circumstances.Sarfraz Ahmed (69 runs at 17.25, nine catches) Should have been run out about four times in Hamilton, but was dismissed this way only once - when Pakistan were looking to him for quick runs. Now having played 30 Tests, he will want to improve on that average outside Asia. Was generally good behind the stumps.3Asad Shafiq (two matches, 56 runs at 14.00) The move back down to no. 6 did not produce the familiar Shafiq yield from the middle order. Had two slightly strange dismissals in Hamilton, once playing on attempting a booming off drive, and then giving point a catch off the leading edge, when he had wanted to push a full ball to leg.Mohammad Rizwan (one match, 13 runs at 13.00) Fell to a Neil Wagner short ball off the first Test delivery he ever faced, but managed the bouncers much better in the second innings. Looked a secure slip fielder as well.Wahab Riaz (one match, two wickets at 55.00) Had a chance missed off his bowling in the second innings at Hamilton, and though he bowled a good spell on the fourth day, didnt have enough wickets to show for it again. Pakistan hope he will be more effective across the Tasman, where the pitches are expected to be harder and faster.2Yasir Shah (one match, no wickets) Bowled 13.3 decent overs on a profoundly unhelpful Hagley Oval deck, and despite having spurred many famous victories in recent years, was left out - perhaps wrongly - at Hamilton. His greatest impact on the series might have been as a substitute fielder.Younis Khan (two matches, 16 runs at 4.00) Eleven, 2, 2 and 1 - so read Younis scores on a tour on which Pakistan desperately missed him. Seam movement undid him twice, bounce once, and to close out the series, he padded up to a ball headed for off stump. Liverpool Shirt Sale Uk . Its sharpness matched my mind.

Siddikur, whose previous win on the circuit came in Brunei three years ago, finished his bogey-free round with a birdie on the 18th for a total of 17-under 199.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Rays took themselves out of playoff contention with a terrible summer stretch that saw them lose 24 of 27 games. Without much on the line, theyve gotten off the mat nicely, winning seven of 12 since, due largely in part to consistent starting pitching that was lacking.On Saturday, left-hander Drew Smyly won for the first time in 12 starts, holding the Yankees to two runs and four hits in six solid innings.Smyly got the lead in the first, lost it and got it back again in the third. He said the scoreboard helped him relax on the mound and pitch better as a result.When youre pitching with the lead, it makes it so much easier, Smyly said. You can attack guys. You can go right at them. Great defense tonight, and this is the way we need to play.It was the 10th straight quality start from Rays starting pitching, matching the second longest streak in franchise history. The challenge of continuing that -- and potentially closing out a three-game series sweep -- falls to rookie Blake Snell, who has a 3.05 ERA and made his major-league debut against New York in April, holding the Yankees to one run and two hits in five innings in what ended up a 3-2 loss for the Rays.The Yankees, who had won eight of 10 games just last week, have dropped three straight and scored just five runs in those games. Theyyll try to stop their struggles with RHP Michael Pineda (5-9, 5. James Milner t Shirt. 00 ERA) starting Sunday.New York hadnt lost three in a row for more than a month, and its streak of three straight series wins will end regardless of Sundays outcome. The pitching is a concern, giving up six home runs in the two losses to the Rays, and that could get worse if any deals are made before Mondays trade deadline.They have totaled 12 runs in their seven losses since the All-Star break, and manager Joe Girardi understands that the bats must come alive if the Yankees are to close the gap with first-place Baltimore, just six games entering the night.Even in Saturdays 6-3 loss, he pointed to the eighth inning, when the Yankees put two on and had the tying run at the plate in Carlos Beltran, who leads the team with 21 home runs and 62 RBI. But Beltran grounded into a double play, ending a potential rally.We had an opportunity and had the right guy up in the situation, Girardi said. Unfortunately, he hit it hard into the ground. ... Theyre frustrating losses. Weve gotten behind early in games and we havent been able to catch up. You have to go out and win tomorrow. Thats all you can do is find a way to win tomorrow. ' ' '
