Clan-Members » Mullholland raced up to it just to the lef

South Africa are not ready to head home just yet, despite having just a lead of 70 with four wickets in hand going into the fourth day of the Adelaide Test. Weve got two big days left and tomorrow (Sunday) is one of the biggest ones. Theres a lot of fight. Were not on the plane yet, Neil McKenzie, South Africas batting coach, said.Those words may be dismissed as fanciful, but Australia would do well to look back to four years ago, when Russell Domingo, South Africas assistant coach then, vowed similar and was proved similar right. On that occasion, South Africa were staring at defeat on the final day, having stumbled to 77 for 4 chasing 430. They batted out a draw.Now, they will need to bat with resolve if they are to set Australia a challenging target. Hopefully Stephen Cook converts, which is what his track record shows he can do, he said. And then if Quinton de Kock can produce the Quinton de Kock knock that everyone knows he can do and has been doing, that would push us up past 180 and 200. If we can get there, we know weve done it to Australia before, where weve knocked them over so that will give us a lot of confidence.McKenzie was particularly happy for Cook, his former Highveld Lions team-mate, with whom hes worked closely on footwork throughout this tour. Cookie is just one of those hard-working cricketers; sort of old-school, he said. He does it his way. It doesnt always look pretty but has a method that has worked for him. He has got nearly 40 first-class hundreds so you cant mess with technique.Mentally he is right up there in terms of one of the toughest guys playing cricket at this stage. He has endured a lot of noise about his technique but normally what Cook does well is capitalises on starts and he has a good conversion rate. We hope that follow suit tomorrow.Even if Cook continues, he has only the tail to keep him company, but Vernon Philander, Kagiso Rabada and Tabraiz Shamsi have all showed they can contribute. Since its them that will have to do the defending, McKenzie believes they have enough motivation.Weve got a couple of guys who can do damage at the back end and we have a bowling unit who are ready to go, he said. Well leave everything out there, whether we get bowled out early or whether we battle into the evening.He even joked South Africa could get enough runs to declare again. That will be the best day of Test cricket ever, he laughed, when asked about Faf du Plessis surprise declaration on the opening day. McKenzie explained the decision was based on what South Africa saw in the Sheffield Shield, when teams declared in order to make use of the ball under lights.Its our first Test with the pink ball. We can only look at stats. We watched when the state sides played and both declared. You take a lead from what you see, he said. Commentators and ex-players were all applauding the decision and we stand by it.Brett Favre Jersey . Aduriz headed home Markel Susaetas cross in the sixth minute to open the scoring at San Mames Stadium. He bettered that with a long-range blast that went in off the goal frame in the 18th, and converted a penalty in the 72nd after Diego Mainz was sent off for fouling Aduriz with only the goalkeeper to beat. Scottie Pippen Jersey .1 million pounds ($61.2 million) on Saturday, giving the beleaguered English Premier League champions a major lift. https://www.sportsstarsjerseys.com/michael-jordan-jersey/ . Ashley Youngs cross was inadvertently headed by Chester into his own net in the 66th minute, allowing United to claim a third straight league win. "We had to dig deep with our fighting spirit and weve done that," United striker Wayne Rooney said. Josh Allen Jersey .4 million title. Ryan Riess emerged with the title after a session in which he started behind, but used expert skill to gather the chips to his side amid the unpredictability of no-limit Texas Hold em. Riess put his final opponent Jay Farber all-in with an Ace-King. Tim Tebow Jersey . LOUIS -- Cardinals cleanup hitter Allen Craig says hes recovered from a foot injury and ready to be put on St.SEATTLE -- By his own admission, Cristian Roldan was trying to be a nuisance.He wound up being the hero.Roldan broke a tie in the 31st minute, and the Seattle Sounders wrapped up an MLS playoff berth with a 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake on Sunday in the regular-season finale.The Sounders (14-14-6, 48 points) made the playoffs for the eighth year in a row. They have never missed the postseason since joining MLS in 2009. Seattle will go in as the Wests No. 4 seed, hosting Sporting Kansas City in a knockout round game on Thursday night.Real Salt Lake (12-12-10, 46 points) also got in, thanks to Portlands 4-1 loss at Vancouver that eliminated the defending champion Timbers. RSL will be the Wests No. 6 seed and visit Los Angeles on Wednesday.Nicolas Lodeiro helped set up Roldans goal when he floated a corner kick from the left wing side into the box. Goalkeeper Nick Romando slapped away Roman Torres header, but the ball deflected off defender Luke Mulholland, who was standing just to Rimandos right. It went straight to Roldan, who drilled it in from two yards in front for his fourth of the year.I was put in the box to be a pest, and shield guys away from our big guys, from Chad Marshall and Roman, and to pick for them, Roldan said. I was lucky enough to get away from my runners and kick the ball into the back of the net.Roldan, who played out of position on the right side of midfield for part of the day before moving back to his customary center midfield spot, has gotten considerably more playing time since Brian Schmetzer took over as interim head coach in late July.The kid has blossomed -- he does everything, Schmetzer said. That wasnt his normal position tonight, and he showed he can still make an immpact in games.dddddddddddd.The Sounders have blossomed as a whole, going 8-2-4 under Schmetzer during the past 2 1/2 months. Still, they needed a win on Sunday, or a Portland loss -- and got both -- to secure a place in the postseason.The last two results we had (a 0-0 tie with Houston and a 2-1 loss at Dallas) werent wins, and we needed to get into the playoffs on our own, so we didnt have to rely on anybody else, Schmetzer said. We wanted to make sure we get the nice little bump and the confidence and everything that comes along with a win like this against a tough team to beat.The teams traded goals in the first four minutes.Alvaro Fernandez put the Sounders on the board in the third minute with his first of the season, scoring from a yard in front after Jordan Morris sent a nifty backheel pass across the 6-yard box.Just 90 seconds later, Mulholland pulled Salt Lake level. Jordan Allen, under pressure inside the box from Sounders defender Joevin Jones, tapped the ball to his left. Mullholland raced up to it just to the left of the 6-yard box and sent a shallow shot across the goalmouth that slipped just inside the right post for his fourth of the year.Real Salt Lake is winless in its last seven (0-4-3), its last victory coming on Aug. 26 at home against Colorado. But coach Jeff Cassar insisted that as of now, that slump is in the past.Its a new season. What I told the guys is were in the playoffs for our body of work that weve done throughout the year, not what weve done in the last four games, Cassar said. Now its all about rest and recovery and getting ready for L.A. ' ' '
