Harry Carson Jersey .The Outlaws romped to their eighth straight win, the first time they have done that in the NatWest T20 Blast, with Lumb scoring an unbeaten 69 from 26 balls and Christian clubbed his way to 54 not out from just 16.After both innings of the match had been interrupted by bad weather, Notts were left to score 141 from 14 overs. Thanks to Lumbs start - which saw him reach his 50 in only 17 deliveries - and then Christians brutality which saw him get to his half century from a ball fewer, the home side raced to 146 for 2 in only 10.3 overs.Put in, after Christian had won his eighth straight toss, Leicestershire Foxes made 170 for four, after an interruption had initially reduced the contest to 18 overs.Mark Cosgrove made 53 from 34 balls for the visitors, having hit six fours and a six and Farhaan Behardien made an undefeated 48 from 26 balls.After sharing in an opening stand of 50 with Cosgrove, captain Mark Pettini perished in the seventh over, lifting Patel into the hands of Christian at short extra cover.Imran Tahirs leg spin was held back until the eleventh over and he made up for lost time by immediately ending Cosgroves stay with a googly, which had the batsman groping forward and unable to get back and beat the Read stumping.Cameron Delport presented the keeper with another scalp in the next over, hoisting Steven Mullaney high into the skate grey skies.Behardien hit the same bowler high over the midwicket ropes and appeared set to mount an assault in the closing overs but deteriorating conditions soon forced the players back to the pavilion with 115 for three on the board.Despite a lengthy delay the umpires found time for the Foxes to have three more overs, which produced 55 runs. Lewis Hill hit 30 before hitting Luke Fletcher out to Jake Ball on the leg side fence, one delivery after the same fielder had spilled a diving effort in the same vicinity.Behardien monopolised the strike from then on, clubbing 25 from the final over, bowled by Ball.Notts began their romp to the finishing line with an explosive start from Lumb and Riki Wessels. They blazed their way to 60 from just 4.3 overs,at which point Clint McKay bowled Wessels, heaving across the line, for 19.Lumb had given the innings a real impetus by hitting three sixes in a Richard Jones over, which went for 26 runs. Neil Dexters introduction into the attack cost a further 16 as Lumb moved to his 50 from 17 balls, with seven fours and three sixes.Rob Sayer sent back Greg Smith, lbw for 4 but his next ball was smashed back over his head for another maximum as Christian stylishly announced his arrival in the middle.The Australian then went on a super-charged offensive. He hit Sayer for three sixes in a row before his sixth maximum, off Clint McKay, sealed the victory for his side.Whilst the defeat leaves the Foxes at the foot of the table, Notts Outlaws can now look forward to a home quarter final against Essex, the fourth placed team in the South Group. Custom New York Giants Jerseys . -- Former San Diego Chargers safety Paul Oliver was found dead at his Atlanta-area home Tuesday night, and a medical examiner said Wednesday that the ex-player committed suicide. New York Giants Jerseys . Tests earlier this week revealed a Grade 2 left hamstring strain for Sabathia, who was hurt in last Fridays start against San Francisco. Its an injury that will require about eight weeks to heal. He finished a disappointing campaign just 14-13 with a career-worst 4. http://www.authenticnygiantspro.com/Evan-engram-giants-jersey/ . "Jeff is a hard worker who was an important special-teams contributor for us last season," said Stamps GM John Hufnagel. Tejaswin Shankar added to his senior record-surpassing effort in the high jump at the 32nd Junior Nationals by also winning the gold medal in the triple jump event at the Nehru stadium in Coimbatore. But in a goof-up that neither the AFI (Athletics Federation of India) nor the Tamil Nadu State Athletics Association were willing to claim responsibility for, no gold medal was available for Shankar. The organisers of the junior nationals had run out of medals for the competition.In all there was a shortfall of 29 gold medals, 27 silver and as many bronze medals.AFI secretary general CK Valson said that while the medals had been procured from Delhi, he had only been made aware of the shortage in the last day of the event. There are 125 events in the junior nationals so sometime it becomes difficult to keep track of the number of medals. But if there were fewer number of medals that had been procured, we should have been told in advance. We could have brought more medals from Delhi, he says.Latha, the treasurer of the Tamil Nadu athletics federation - the event organisers - said that it was the AFIs job to get the medals from Delhi and the organisers role was to give what medals were available to the athletes.In an effort to address the situation, Valson said that the AFI would post the medals to the respective state associations which would subsequently disburse the medals.While long jumpers often participate in the triple jump event, a high jumper taking part in the triple is unusual. Shankar was taking part in the triple jump event for only the second time in his career. The 17-year-old won gold in the Delhi state championships held a couple of months earlier, which was just a few weeks since he took up the triple jump event.He cleared 15.21m, to better Tamil Nadus K Kamalraj who jumped 14.91. Shankar, though, was unable to get either the meet or national U-18 record which stand at 15.63 and 15.52 respectively.Shankars form had the refinement that can be expected of someone with just a couple of monnths of practice in an event known for its technical challenge. Phil Simms Jersey. . Former Long jumper Anju Bobby George who was present at the venue would say Shankar had a strong step and jump phase but was very weak in the initially hop jump and in his landing. Despite those limitations, Shankar was still far ahead of the field.While his flaws were noticeable, its not something Shankar is bothered by. I only take part in the triple jump because the drills are something that help me in the high jump as well. I was expecting to win a gold but I wasnt thinking of getting a record. The triple jump is just a fun event for me, he says.He, however, missed out on the best athlete award in the U-18 boys category. Considering that he had broken the senior national record, Shankar might have been expected to claim the award. Instead it went to Haryanas Dipender Dabas who won the U-18 shot put event with a meet record.It was a quirk of the system that decided it. The recipient of the award is calculated according to an IAAF points system. By jumping 2.26m, Shankar earned 1144 points as per the system. Dabas who threw the shot 20.65m, took 1159 points. However, unlike Shankar who was competing in essentially an open competition, Dabas was using a lighter shot put (weighing 5kg as against the senior shot that weighs 6kg). As such, Dabas had a distinct advantage when points were being calculated.Indeed, the best athletes in all the boys categories (U-20, U-18, U-16 and U-14) went to shot putters. Yes it seems like they have an advantage because of the implements they are using, but there is no way to calculate the points for a junior event where the equipment is lighter, Dr. Tony Daniel, Technical Committee chairman of the federation, said.?As it stands, Shankar will head home to Delhi with a medal and a national record. He will have to collect the second gold medal from the AFI office.? ' ' '
