Pujaras minor change against SantnerMitchell Santner got the better of Cheteshwar Pujara in the first innings: the batsmans front-foot stride was non-existent and therefore a little spin from the pitch was enough to beat the outside edge of his bat to hit the off stump. In the second innings, Pujaras front-foot stride became a lot longer. Batting is at its easiest when youre just reacting to the ball but that mustnt overshadow the importance of the adjustments a batsman makes overnight, and how he keeps these things in mind without allowing it to interfere in his natural reaction to the ball.When not to call for a runThe fundamentals of calling while running between the wickets is that the call belongs to the person who has the full view of the direction in which the ball has gone. Largely, its the strikers call whenever the ball is in front of the stumps and its the non-strikers call when the ball goes behind the stumps. Its a little different in reality; a lot depends on knowing your own and your partners speed of running. In addition to that, you must know when your partner is likely to react and when he wont. For example, Gautam Gambhir is someone who drops and runs frequently but he will also fall back if his partner declines a run; players who dont know him take his initial burst as a firm intent for taking a run. M Vijays dismissal today, after his mix-up with Pujara, was another such example of how your right to call an existing run doesnt matter if your partner isnt keen.Heavy lies the headTest cricket is ruthless. Once a problem has been spotted, trust the opposition to keep targeting the same spot. Ever since Tom Latham got out lbw when Mohammed Shami went around the stumps, Indias fast bowlers have tried the same ploy with the new ball. It worked again in the second innings in Indore. The most common observation on his dismissal would be that his front foot went across and therefore the bat had to come across the body, which resulted in missing the line of the ball. But the fact is that the positioning of his head in his batting stance while getting ready to face the ball is getting him in trouble. The moment the head falls towards off, the way its happening currently with Latham, the front foot automatically falls across. Guptill and Williamsons change in tacticsPost the dismissal in the first innings of the Kanpur Test, Martin Guptill has planted his foot a lot straighter and averted the lbw threat. The flip side was that while his foot was going straight, his conditioning didnt allow him to change his judgement of where the off stump was. On a couple of occasions he left the ball outside off without covering the stumps. It happens.The same thing happened with Kane Williamson. To negate the lbw threat against R Ashwin, he started standing on an off-stump guard. Although that would lead to impact outside off, the flip side of this move was that the balls you feel are sliding down the stumps are actually finishing within. Williamson was lbw by Ashwin after being struck in front of middle and leg by a vicious offbreak. Vapormax Svart Dame Norge . The phone hearing is scheduled for 4:30pm et/1:30pm pt.

CHICAGO -- The Cubs may have been waiting 108 years for the World Series but Ireland are looking to end an even longer drought in the same city this weekend when they face the All Blacks at Soldier Field.Ultan Dillane, the 22-year-old Connacht and Ireland second-row, was in bullish mood talking down any notion of New Zealand having an air of invincibility ahead of this weekends Test in Chicago.Instead Dillane, who has five caps, sees an opportunity for an upset and avenues to exploit within the New Zealand ranks despite the worlds No. 1 side being on an 18-match winning run and having never lost a Test to Ireland since their first meeting in 1905.There is evident quality but they are only human at the end of the day, Dillane said. They do have weaknesses. We are looking to exploit them.They have 18 wins in a row and clearly they have been hyped up as favourites and all that. But there is a lot of pressure on them to maintain that streak. Us going in as underdogs, we see that as an opportunity to upset them. We hope to create a bit of history.We dont think they are invincible. They do have weaknesses. We will try and exploit those.There is an air of nervous expectation in Chicago. The Cubs 9-3 win over the Indians on Tuesday evening drew the World Series level at 3-3 and with the title-deciding match on Wednesday the city is in a baseball frenzy.The Cubs emblem adorns every bar and if you walk into a café or a restaurant, you will be met by a wealth of Cubs merchandise on the wall and on locals backs.ddddddddddddA win would end a 108-year World Series drought but Ireland are looking to settle some of their own personal scores having suffered the most agonising of defeats in the last meeting back in 2013.Ryan Crotty, the All Blacks centre, was asked about that November day in 2013 where Ireland were at one stage 19-0 up only for the Kiwis to claw their way back with Crotty scoring in extra time to draw the match level and Aaron Cruden then kicking the Test-winning conversion.Yeah, since that Ive pretty much had to apologise to every Irishman Ive met since that day, Crotty said on Tuesday with more than a hint of mischief.Though parallels between this Ireland crop and the 2013 class are far-fetched given seven of that squad have retired -- Dillane watched the match at home -- there is an urgency about the Irish to get a long-awaited win over New Zealand and what better way to mark it than in some form of a remarkable double with the Cubs.It would be cool, wouldnt it? The city is really excited, Dillane said. We went for a stroll this morning. There is some serious support.Whatever happens, well try to create that history.To play statistically the best team in the world is definitely a huge opportunity and the excitement is 100 per cent there in everyone in the whole squad.
