Whenever there is debate over Amit Mishras place in Indias limited-overs side, a few standard arguments against his selection come up. His slowness in the field and limitations with the bat hampers the teams flexibility. Or that Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel add more all-round value. Two of his dismissals in the Mohali ODI against New Zealand, however, make a compelling case for why Mishra should be in the XI.In the 29th over, he floated a loopy leg break that drifted into middle and leg stump. Ross Taylor, batting on 44, was looking dangerous for the first time in the series. Seeing that a regulation single through midwicket was on offer, he ventured a flick and in the process strayed out of the crease. By then, the ball had dipped and spun across Taylor, and MS Dhoni completed a stumping.In his next over, Mishra bowled a similar delivery outside off stump to Luke Ronchi, who missed a drive and dragged his back leg out of the crease for just an instant. Dhonis hands were right by the stumps, and unlike other wicketkeepers, there was no give in his gather; the Mishra-Dhoni combine accomplished another stumping, and a collapse was set in motion.For all that he offers as an attacking legspinner, Mishra might not have been picked had R Ashwin and Jadeja been available. And he could well go out of the squad when they come back from a rest. In the World T20 in 2014, Mishra was Indias second-highest wicket-taker. He had to wait more than two years for his next T20I. Earlier this year, on Indias limited-overs tour of Zimbabwe, he was passed over and Yuzvendra Chahal played as the first-choice legspinner.Mishra is a rare breed in limited-overs cricket - a crafty spinner beating batsmen in the air, and manufacturing wickets even when batsmen are not taking risks. One-day teams need a bowler of this kind to be effective in the middle overs. With eight wickets in this series at an average of 19.37, Mishra has been the most successful bowler on either side.The problem though is in a team that has Ajinkya Rahane and Umesh Yadav capable of hitting the stumps from the deep, Mishra has been caught on his heels. In the ninth over in Mohali, he overran the ball and what should have been a straightforward save became a boundary.Then there is his batting. Mishra has four Test half-centuries, including one in the Antigua Test in July, but averages 4.14 in ODIs. That doesnt compare favourably with Jadejas or Ashwins.In Mishras defence, he has faced only 65 balls in 10 innings, but dismissals like the one in Delhi, where he mistimed a slog instead of helping Hardik Pandya take the game deep, will be held against him.To an extent, Mishra has the right to feel aggrieved about the stop-start pattern of his limited-overs career. Or he could look at two more chances, in Ranchi and Visakhapatnam, to reinforce his bowling credentials as much as show improvement in the field and with the bat.Wholesale Stitched Jerseys . -- Mike Smith never saw his first NHL goal go in.

Jeff Teague led the Hawks (1-5) with 17 points and eight assists and Al Horford had 12 points and seven rebounds. Mike Scott scored 15 of his 17 points in the second half.Edinburgh bounced back from last weeks disappointing defeat to Zebre with a 28-17 Guinness PRO12 victory over Ulster at BT Murrayfield.The hosts were evidently desperate to atone for the previous weeks shock defeat and by half-time had established a 21-3 advantage through tries from Villiame Mata and Damien Hoyland, a conversion from Jason Tovey and a penalties from Blair Kinghorn and Duncan Weir (2).Magnus Bradbury then crossed after the interval with Tovey adding a second conversion. Ruan Pienaar kicked a first-half penalty for Ulster before converting second-half tries from Aaron Cairns and Jacob Stockdale and adding a penalty.With two minutes on the clock, Tovey almost sidestepped his way through the Ulster defence and when he was thwarted, Sean Kennedy fed the ball back to Mata, who crashed through two tackles to touch down and Tovey converted.The hosts continued to dominate and claimed a second try of the evening after nine minutes. Mata was again involved and when he was foiled, Kinghorn was hauled down just short but Hoyland was alert to the opportunity and picked up to plunge over.Tovey failed with the conversion attempt, but the momentum remained with Edinburgh and Kinghorn added three more points with a sweetly struck long-range penalty in the 16th minute.Ulster had been infrequent visitors to the home half but with 24 minutes played they earned a penalty 30 metres out and Pienaar was on target to get them on the board.Weir, who had just come on as a temporary replacement for Tovey, responded almost immediately, rifling a penalty between the sticks from close range.?The replacements next involvement was to have a kick ccharged down.ddddddddddddBut fortunately Kinghorn raced back to avert the danger as the ball ricocheted over the Edinburgh line.Weir shrugged off that error to make another positive contribution when he added three more points to complete the first-half scoring.Ulster made a lively start to the second period but handling errors and one bone-juddering tackle by Kinghorn prevented the visitors from capitalising on their spell in charge.And the home side capitalised on that failure seven minutes into the half when Cornell Du Preez broke from a scrum inside the Edinburgh half and fed Kennedy.He in turn released Mike Allen whose pass set Bradbury free for an impressive try which Tovey converted. Ulster responded with a powerful surge from Tommy Bowe who was held up over the line by Du Preez.The visitors thought they had clawed back five points when Charles Piatau raced onto a clever chip by Pienaar. However, to the displeasure of the Irish contingent in the 5,336 crowd, the referee ruled that he had not controlled the ball as he touched down.Edinburgh defended well for the next 10 minutes but their luck eventually ran out when Paul Marshall chipped ahead and Cairns out-muscled Tovey to pluck the ball out of the air and touch down. Pienaars conversion cut the deficit to 18 points.?The Irishmen gave themselves a glimmer of hope -- at least of a four-try bonus if not a win -- with eight minutes to play when Stockdale raced onto a flip pass from Rob Herring and darted in for a try which Pienaar again converted.
