Adam Taggart is unlikely to play against Wellington on Sunday as Perth take a cautious approach with their sore striker.Taggart made a blistering return to the A-League last weekend, scoring a first-half brace against Central Coast before being subbed off on the hour to manage his fitness.But the 23-year-old Socceroo pulled up with a sore calf this week and did not train on Friday with the team.Coach Kenny Lowe said something very minor showed up in scans, and the priority was to ensure it didnt escalate.Taggart has endured a bad run with injuries, having spent most of his stint with English Championship side Fulham and on loan to Scottish outfit Dundee United dealing with a string of issues.Given Melbourne City await the Glory next weekend, Lowe appeared to be leaning towards keeping his injury-prone target man fresh.Tags came out on fire and did brilliant, but maybe hes pushing himself a little bit too much, Lowe said.Im glad he did the 60 minutes and not the 90. Otherwise, we might have been looking at something different.What hes got is minor, but its there and weve got to be conscious of that with his history.Should Taggart sit the Phoenix match out, Lowe might revert from his two-pronged attack and leave Andy Keogh as the Glorys sole striker.Defender Shane Lowry (hip) is getting closer to a return, completing a portion of training before continuing his rehab.But hell have to wait until the next meeting to line up against younger brother Ryan Lowry, who signed last month with the Phoenix.Mike Ditka Youth Jersey .

Walter Payton Youth Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.Plan A: Yasir takes ten wicketsMisbah-ul-Haq finds Yasir Shah, sets a fairly defensive field with a couple of catchers, some protection, and then winds him up and lets him go. That was supposed to be how it worked.But Yasir did not contain, there was no bamboozle, and he often did not land the ball where he wanted it.Often he dropped short. Not often for a normal legspinner in the park, or a standard legspinner in first-class cricket, or even Test-quality legspinner, but often for him. On eight occasions he bowled long hops, seemingly almost as many as he had bowled in his previous 13 Tests. That made Alastair Cook and Joe Root feel like they didnt have to be as cautious off him. At one stage Root played a slog-sweep, the same shot that got him out at Lords, and this time, he smashed it with complete dominance and control. Whatever the hold Yasir had over England at Lords seemed to have been smacked off with this shot.Yasir bowled with new and old ball, over the wicket to regular fields, around the wicket to attacking fields, around the wicket to defensive fields, tried both ends a couple of times each, tried bowling with only three men on the off side, changed plans all day, and one stage he was trying so many things he metamorphosed into Azhar Ali.Yasir still tweaked his shirt shoulders, licked his fingers, stuttered over his first step, charged to the crease, had a high-arm action and bowled all day. It just didnt work.Before the Test Misbah said, If they play Yasir well we should have other plans. They did play him well, and Pakistan didnt have another plan.Plan B: Take new-ball wicketsMohammad Amir and Rahat Ali are new-ball bowlers. Their skills work best when the ball is fresh, they can both swing and seam it.Today the first new ball took one wicket. That it was a peach of an inswinger that made Alex Hales look like a confused bowler with a bat in hand was nice, but it wasnt enough. Their job has to be to saw off the top of the batting order - Amirs main job in this team should really be taking the wicket of Cook. While the entire world was looking at the other end at Lords, it was Rahat that took the three wickets at the start of the final innings. Here, his first new-ball wicket was when the score was over 300, from a bit of a dirty chop on.There will be days when this is Plan A, and the only plan they need. But here they were loose. Not terribly, but neither bowler, despite their wickets so far,, has really controlled the ball well in the UK.dddddddddddd They havent maintained pressure for long enough periods. Against struggling English batsmen that matters less. Against Root and Cook, it matters lots.Plan C: Reverse swingThere was a time at Lords when Wahab Riaz seemed to have a left arm made of doom. The ball wasnt reverse swinging, it was reverse booming. At Old Trafford, Pakistan needed their middle-overs enforcer to take the pressure off Yasir, even if it was just for a few overs, and make up for the fact that the two new-ball bowlers couldnt break through enough.Instead the ball didnt reverse swing. Especially not for Wahab.It did, if you want to be entirely accurate, at times reverse fade. It wasnt gun barrel straight, it had the slightest kink. But it wasnt Wahab who used it, it was Amir, who took the edge of James Vince (before Younis Khan missed his third chance of the series) and Rahat who took the edge of Vince again.It wasnt an explosion of Pakistan fast-bowling power, it was a couple of decent spells with the old ball that produced a wicket.Reverse swing is still more art than science. Some blamed recent concerts by Beyonce and Rihanna for a softer outfield, which is more speculation than evidence. Wahab was trying to scuff the ball up by bowling it into the wicket. He probably didnt do much different to the last match when he turned the ball into a heat-seeking missile, its just that this time the ball didnt swing. And it meant that instead of enforcing, or inspiring, he was largely a stock bowler with no wickets.Plan D: A mysteryAzhar and his four Test wickets is probably not a plan. Getting Mohammed Hafeez tested and hoping his action is legal again between Tests is more hope than plan. Bowling to ultra-defensive fields and boring England out is a plan, if Cook and Root arent already batting. Catching all their chances could be a plan. Drying up runs through continued pressure and no poor balls might be a plan.But really, if they are going to win, Amir and Rahat need to take more wickets with the new ball, Yasir needs to regain his control and Wahab needs to reverse the ball savagely. You can have plans D through to Z, but when you come up against Root and Cook on a decent batting pitch, you need your best to be at their best. This time they werent. ' ' '
