IndyCar began a five-year run in September 2005 before the track parted ways with the series

England may be without James Anderson for the first three Tests in India as he continues his recovery from the shoulder injury which has hampered him since midway through the English season.Anderson has not been included in the 16-man squad for the five-Test tour which is unchanged from the group currently in Bangladesh.Alastair Cook had already said that Anderson would miss the opening Test in Rajkot and a decision over the involvement of him on the tour will be taken in the coming days, but it is understood that the Mumbai Test which begins on December 8 is now seen as his earliest return date.Speaking after the first Test in Chittagong, England coach Trevor Bayliss gave a positive outlook on Anderson. The medical staff are very pleased with how he has come on in the last week or so. He has had more scans and is looking good. They havent given any indication of when he might be available, but definitely out for the first Test in India.He was described as the difference between the sides by India captain MS Dhoni after England won the 2012 Test series between the teams, but it seems increasingly likely that England will have to learn to live without him.When Anderson spoke to ESPNcricinfo earlier in October, he was confident over his recovery. Im not going to miss the entire trip, no, he said. Im very confident Im going to be involved in the India series, it is a frustrating injury, something I want to get right, but it does happen in cricket, in sport, you get injured, youve just got to deal with it, and hopefully I can get as fit as possible as soon as possible.While there might have been a case for calling up another spin bowler for the India tour - England had two seamers (Steven Finn and Jake Ball) and one spinner (Zafar Ansari) on the side-lines for the first Test against Bangladesh in Chittagong - the England team management have suggested they are likely to retain faith in a six-man attack involving three seamers and three spinners.Mark Wood, the Durham fast bowler, who was part of the original squad for Bangladesh remains unavailable having required another ankle operation.If England do require reinforcements, they have an 18-man Lions squad a short flight away in the UAE.

Kerry, Two nights after the Scott-Eriksson incident in Buffalo, the Bruins returned home to play San Jose. In that game, Zdeno Chara put a check on Tommy Wingels that clearly targeted his head. WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. -- IndyCar racing returned to Watkins Glen International on Friday after a six-year hiatus, and New Yorks Thunder Road didnt disappoint as the teams practiced in earnest for the first time.Its great to be back, great to be going around here, Helio Castroneves said. This is the DNA of open-wheel racing, and the history behind this place -- it suits perfectly the series.Most of the teams were permitted to test earlier for this weekends race, which replaced a street event in Boston that was canceled. WGI was repaved after last season, and it created a smooth-as-silk surface with gobs of grip that opened a lot of eyes in Fridays two practices on a sunny day.In morning practice around the 3.37-mile, 11-turn layout, all 22 drivers eclipsed Ryan Briscoes track record of 1 minute, 28.1322 seconds at 137.657 mph set in 2009 in a Honda V-8. Scott Dixon, a three-time winner at The Glen, topped the charts in the No. 9 Target Chevrolet in both sessions: He turned a fast lap of 1:23.8921 seconds at 144.614 mph in the morning session and 1:22.8740 at 146.391 mph in the two-hour afternoon session to edge Castroneves and Will Power of Team Penske.Theres no other track where you commit like here, said Power, second in the standings, 28 points behind teammate Simon Pagenaud with two races left in the season. Its so different. Theres no comparison. Its so much faster.Pagenauds first extended time on the track in his career ended on a sour note. He was 11th fastest in the afternoon but crashed into a tire barrier in the waning moments.Watkins Glen was the birthplace of road racing in America after World War II. A 6.6-mile course using mostly paved roads with a short dirt and gravel stretch served as the layout for the first race at Watkins Glen in 1948.In 1961, Formula One came to The Glen and the race became a fall tradition, remaining through 1980. Financial difficulties helped lead to The Glens departure from the Formula One calendar after Alan Jones won the 1980 race. The last open-wheel race of that era was the Watkins Glen 200, a CART event in 1981 -- Mario Andretti started on the pole and Rick Mears won the race.For the next two years, the track was not well maintained. Then, in 1983, Corning Enterprises, a subsidiary of Corning Glass, partnered with International Speedway Corp.dddddddddddd. to buy the track and rename it Watkins Glen International.NASCAR has raced each year at Watkins Glen since 1986, and IndyCar began a five-year run in September 2005 before the track parted ways with the series when the finances didnt add up.The departure of open-wheel racing didnt sit well with track president Michael Printup, a devotee of Formula One, and when Boston organizers pulled out of their deal in May, IndyCar and WGI worked out a deal to move the race to upstate New Yorks Finger Lakes region. That turned into a three-year commitment when a two-year contract extension was agreed to last week, ahead of original plans to talk after Sundays 60-lap, 202.2- mile race.The short time to promote Sunday afternoons race means attendance wont turn any heads. Its a start, though, at the very least.Were not going to hit a home run. You cant plan a birthday party in 90 days, Printup said. We sold just under 10,000 tickets in corporate in 2010. We have 200 this race. Its too hard to call a company in June and say, `Hey, our race is the first week of September. Budgets are done. Even family budgets are done.The track sold all of its grandstand seats for the last two Sprint Cup races as sizable crowds streamed through the gates in spectacular weather conditions. Attendance figures are not released, but those two NASCAR crowds were estimated at around 100,000.Printup estimated the track would end up with 40,000 to 50,000 fans for IndyCars race weekend, an average of around 15,000 or more per day. He said next years race would be held the same weekend, but a 2018 date had not yet been agreed upon.It might be the best weekend for TV, Printup said. College football on Saturday, no NFL on Sunday. You want TV for all your sponsors, but you want your on-track attendance. I think if we give people a year to plan, this could be their family vacation next year.Just the thought of that left Printup wearing a big smile.This is awesome. This is the place for those cars, he said. They belong here. They need to stay here. ' ' '
