India 269 for 6 (Rohit 70, Kohli 65) beat New Zealand 79 (Mishra 5-18, Axar 2-9) by 190 runsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsChoosing to bat first and picking three frontline spinners on a slow turner, India overwhelmed New Zealand by 190 runs in the deciding fifth ODI in Visakhapatnam, with Amit Mishra picking up five wickets to send the visitors crashing to 79 all out. With boundaries hard to come by, India set a target of 270 thanks to half-centuries from Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli and the slog-overs enterprise of Kedar Jadhav and Axar Patel. New Zealand didnt get anywhere near it. Their openers fell early, to seam, before Mishra, Axar Patel and the debutant offspinner Jayant Yadav took over, finishing with combined figures of 14.1-2-35-8 as New Zealand lost their last eight wickets for 16 runs.With New Zealand 28 for 2 after six overs, India held the edge, but they still had Kane Williamson to get past. The New Zealand captain was looking in exquisite touch against the quicks, and had moved to 17 off 21 balls with successive fours against Umesh Yadav in the seventh over of the chase - a drive to covers right followed by a back-foot slap to his left.The introduction of spin, however, stalled New Zealand. Between them, Axar and Mishra bowled five out of seven overs as Williamson and Ross Taylor only scored 25 runs from the from the eighth to the 14th overs. Trying to break free of the strangulation, Williamson chipped Axar straight to long-off. Then Mishra brought all his skill and guile into play, picking up his five wickets in the space of 19 legal balls: there was extra bounce to get Taylor caught behind, deception to bowl BJ Watling with a googly, drift and sharp turn to bowl the left-handed James Neesham through the gate, and flight and dip to have Tim Southee stumped.In the end, New Zealand only lasted 23.1 overs; it was their shortest-ever innings while being bowled out in an ODI. The result demonstrated the gulf between the two sides spin attacks in helpful conditions - Mitchell Santner played the Axar role well enough, conceding only 36 in his ten overs while dismissing MS Dhoni, but Ish Sodhi was expensive, giving away 66 in helpful conditions, which came about through a combination of frequent loose balls and India targeting him consciously. By leaving out their third spinner Anton Devcich and picking an extra seam-bowling allrounder in Corey Anderson, New Zealand showed they may not have read the conditions as well as India did.Still, India never really got on top of New Zealand during their innings, with partnerships ending just as they threatened to swell menacingly. Rohit fell after putting on 79 with Kohli at over a run a ball, and MS Dhoni was just beginning to get into gear when he was dismissed. The game could have gone either way when Kohli fell to leave India 220 for 5 in the 44th over, but Jadhav and Axar added 46 in 39 balls to give India what turned out to be a more than adequate total.The first ball of Indias innings gave them enough clue of the conditions they would have to contend with. Ajinkya Rahane looked to punch Tim Southee through the covers, off the back foot, but the ball didnt come on, and he ended up jamming it down by his feet, off the inside edge. Though both Southee and Boult offered Rahane width to execute that shot more easily and pick up two fours in the first two overs, Indias initial going was slow. New Zealand quickly cottoned on to the lack of pace off the pitch and got rid of their slips, moving them to short extra-cover and short midwicket. It helped dry up the singles, and also brought them a wicket when Rahane, on 20 off 38, flicked James Neesham in the air. At the 10-over mark, India were 45 for 1.Rohit, who had only faced 19 balls in the first ten overs, gave Indias run rate a boost with some audacious shots, including a flat-bat hit over mid-off off a shortish slower ball from Neesham and a big six down the ground off Ish Sodhi when he had both long-on and long-off back. A dive to complete a quick single in the 17th over left him hobbling and in need of attention from Indias physio. When he resumed batting, he had trouble between wickets, but continued to find the boundaries, cutting Sodhi for four to bring up his fifty and launching him for a slog-swept six, both in the 18th over.New Zealand brought back Trent Boult, and the extra pace dismissed Rohit, when he miscued successive pulls in the 22nd over; the first fell safely to the left of deep midwicket, the second carried straight to the fielder.With Dhoni new to the crease, Kane Williamson quickly brought on spin from both ends, and Indias run rate dipped again. Having only scored 8 off his first 24 balls, Dhoni changed gears by sweeping Mitchell Santner for four, and then hit Sodhi back over his head for a four and a six in successive overs. Kohli joined in too, stepping out to hit Sodhi for a massive straight six, and India, once again, were back on track.Having only scored 20 off the first 40 balls of their partnership, Kohli and Dhoni had added 51 off the next 52 balls, and Kohli had just reached his half-century, when Dhoni was lbw trying to sweep Santner. Manish Pandey, new at the crease, took on deep midwicket in the next over and holed out off Sodhi, and India were beginning to lose a bit of momentum. Then Kohli, looking to up the pace, picked out long-off at the start of the 44th over.New Zealand may have sensed a chance to dent India further, but Jadhav and Axar prevented that. There werent too many boundaries available, with five fielders on the rope and the seamers changing their pace cleverly, but the two batsmen kept the dot balls to a minimum - only playing out eight in a partnership lasting 39 balls. Both also hit a six each, Axar clearing his front leg and launching Southee back over his head, and Jadhav skipping down the pitch to flat-bat Boult over long-on. Wholesale Lakers Jerseys . Louis.

Los Angeles Lakers Shirts .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly apologized to his players in the locker room after the loss at North Carolina State, sorry that he couldnt find a way to win.Ive got to look hard at how Im doing it to figure out a way to get a win for you guys, because you deserve it, he said.Kelly has done a bit of everything to try to turn around Notre Dames fortunes. He said after the loss to Michigan State that he and his coaches needed to do better. He placed the blame for the loss to Duke on his players, saying they needed to play with more passion. He fired his defensive coordinator and told the other assistants and the players that everyones job was in jeopardy, including his own. Hes taken a more active role in coaching the defense and hes encouraged the Irish to play with more enthusiasm.So midway into a season thats quickly spiraling out of control, what move can Kelly make to help the Irish (2-4) as he tries to avoid his first losing season since his first year at Central Michigan in 2004? Kellys push this week as the Irish prepare for Stanford (3-2) is for players to finish games stronger.I need your best in these moments, he said.He sounded a similar theme following a 50-47 double overtime loss to Texas in the opener. Kelly is 21-16 in games decided by a touchdown or less in his seven seasons at Notre Dame, including 0-3 this season.We expect to win some of the close games that were going to be playing in over the next six weeks, Kelly said.The Irish were 3-2 in those games last season -- and that includes a 38-36 loss at Stanford where DeShone Kizer led the Irish on a 15-play, 88-yard drive that used up 6 minutes and 18 seconds before Kizer scored on a 2-yard run with 30 seconds left.dddddddddddd But the Irish defense allowed the Cardinal to drive 45 yards on five plays for the 45-yard game-winning field goal that ended Notre Dames playoff hopes.The Irish havent won a close game since.Kelly said he should have done a better job preparing the Irish for close games.On the level of what we were trying to do, I think that kind of fell lower on the list of priorities, he said. I think priority one was getting them lined up and getting them to play at a high level against Texas right out of the gate. And then, we had some issues on defense.Kelly wouldnt get into the specifics about what changes he is planning to finish stronger, but said part of the focus will be on awareness.Youve got to say, `All right, four minutes to go in the game. Lets move the chains. Let us go up and down the field with that same kind of process so everybody is alert, locked in and understands. Lets go win the game, he said.Because of the close losses, the Irish have gone from being ranked No. 10 in the preseason to a team that desperately needs wins with the toughest games still ahead, including No. 16 Miami, No. 17 Virginia Tech and No. 25 Navy. The struggles have some questioning whether Kellys job could be in jeopardy. Kelly said he doesnt pay attention.Everybody has struggles. Everybody goes through some tough times. Youre going to have some adversity. If you cave to adversity then how strong are you really? Im looking for guys that are strong, guys that bounce back higher when there is some adversity, he said ' ' '
