Hampshire 219 and 173 for 4 (Alsop 53, Gregory 3-26) trail Somerset 474 for 8 dec by 82 runsScorecard There was a heavy sense of sadness about this, the flattest of days, at the Ageas Bowl.
[b]Cheap Nike Huarache Shoes For Sale[/b] . Played out in front of a smattering of barely 100 people, a crowd described by one seasoned journalist as the smallest he had seen here for at least a decade; bottom of the table, relegation-threatened Hampshire battled and blocked, nudged and nurdled and waited for the forecasted rain to fall.It is at times like these that a club needs its senior players. In Michael Carberry, Hampshire have one who stood up better than most to some of the fastest bowling in history when Mitchell Johnson ripped England apart in the 2013-14 Ashes. Shortly after that, perhaps harshly, Carberrys international career came to an end and Dale Benkenstein, the Hampshire coach, revealed it has not been an easy adjustment for Carberry to make. This season season his average hovers around the mid-20s.As part of Hampshires attempt to re-motivate Carberry they have shifted him down the order to No. 4 to give him a new challenge and the management will have been pleased with the fight he showed, closing on an unbeaten 37, alongside Sean Ervine in a 52-run stand before play was halted.We are trying to find some motivation for Carbs, explained Benkenstein. I think its tough when you dont have England anymore. You just lose your oxygen. When youve had one thing as your goal and suddenly it goes, and youve never really thought about anything else - youve always wanted to play for England. Ive seen that with a few senior players in my career as captain.Physically and skill-wise he could play for many more years, but at this level you have got to have a real hunger to play. Especially as a batsman you have to have that hunger for runs because you are getting a year older and guys are getting faster and better and they have ambition to play for England and you tend to see guys drop off quite quickly.Weve found he is actually playing quite well but keeps getting out, Benkenstein said of the move to bat him down the order. The new ball is always tough in England and we thought maybe its a chance to free him up a bit and take him away from the new ball. Just changing his role gives him a bit of a mini-challenge and we are hoping that stimulates him.Hampshire will hope Carberry can flourish in the second half of the season. Play began under a warming sun, but as the day wore on, the clouds thickened and darkened and like the looming threat of Hampshires relegation, they slowly closed in.When, at 3.18pm the umpires decided the light was too bad for play to continue Ervine and Carberry could hardly have left the pitch much quicker. Less than five minutes later it started to rain and the players never returned.More rain is forecast tomorrow and Hampshire could well escape this match with a draw but having been hoping for rain since mid-afternoon on day one, it will be with a heavy heart that they make the five hour drive to Chester-le-Street on Saturday.This pitch has been very slow, too slow to produce particularly intriguing cricket, and without the blanket of dark clouds under which they bowled on the first day, Somerset must have felt what it was like to bowl several overs in Hampshires shoes on day two as the hosts fought admirably against some accurate bowling.Unlike Somersets batsmen however, Hampshires were unable to convert strong starts into significant scores. All three of the wickets to fall were self-inflicted.Tom Alsop was the first to go when shortly before lunch he was caught at second slip having tried to cut a ball from Peter Trego that was too straight to do so to and angling in further still. Alsops wicket ended a stoic partnership of 89 - tellingly Hampshires best second-wicket stand of the season.That Alsop received a generous reception from Hampshires members for his 53 when he finally reached the pavilion, head bowed, bat hanging limply by his side and dragging along the turf, is perhaps emblematic of the clubs readjusted expectations. A good effort it was, but ultimately not good enough.After the interval Will Smith dragged on to Lewis Gregory and when Liam Dawsons limp push outside off stump ended up in the hands of second slip there was a possibility Hampshire were not even going to beat the rain, let alone Somerset.After an hour of thick, miserly rain, with darkness enveloping the ground and puddles forming on the covers, the floodlights were unceremoniously switched off. Ten minutes after that, with the ground practically deserted but for a lone member of the ground staff, the PA system echoed around the stadium confirming to no one but the assembled press that play had been abandoned.And with that the lonely groundsman trudged across the outfield and disappeared into the bowels of the stadium, the only sound he left behind him was the gentle patter of rain on the covers as a melancholy day crept slowly towards its end.

Jonathan Drouin also scored and had three assists while Zachary Fucale made 17 saves for the Mooseheads (16-8-0), who led 6-1 after two periods.

Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Offensive line coach Rick Trickett has a bounty of linemen to work with as Florida State goes through preseason practices. Finding the right combination for the Sept. 5 opener in Orlando against Mississippi might be a tougher task.It is going to be the five guys that work the best together. It wont always be the five most talented, Trickett said. Theyre all good guys. I dont have a problem with any of them. Just are they ready yet?Besides quarterback, no position group struggled more last season than the offensive line. At this time last year, it had only one returning starter and lacked depth.In another sense, its really nice going into the team period and blitz period to know that in five plays after I do my first team reps playing center I dont have to turn around and go play guard or a tackle is coming to play guard, sophomore center Alec Eberle said. Thats how it was at a point last year.The Seminoles return eight linemen who started at least one game last season.Left tackle Roderick Johnson and right guard Wilson Bell -- both juniors -- started all 13 games. Johnson was named the top blocker in the Atlantic Coast Conference and is projected as a first-round pick in next years NFL draft.Johnson said a big point of emphasis during preseason drills has been on converting on third down. The Seminoles were eighth in the ACC last season, with most of their struggles coming in third-and-short situations. Johnson pointed to at least three third- and fourth-down plays in the 23-13 loss at Clemson that could have given them momentum if theyy converted.
[b]Nike Huarache Shoes For Sale[/b]. Were doing better than last year, he said. When weve worked on short-yardage and goal-line plays we have made most of them throughout camp.Besides short-yardage, other areas of improvement are alleviating penalties and better production in the red zone. The Seminoles offensive line accounted for 35 of the teams 87 penalties last season, including 24 false starts.When Florida State got inside the opponents 20, only 57 percent of their trips resulted in touchdowns, which was the fifth-worst percentage in the ACC.I think it comes back again to the discipline part of it, Trickett said. If youve got an undisciplined person, youre probably going to have undisciplined play.The Seminoles had three different centers last season, but Eberle looks to have the inside track after starting the final six games. Brock Ruble is listed as the starter at right tackle but could be pressed for snaps by Rick Leonard, who moved over from the defensive line during the spring.If Florida State runs into injuries again, depth wont be a problem, thanks to the addition of six freshmen. Five-star recruit Landon Dickerson has made the biggest early impression as he has been taking some first-team snaps at left guard. Senior Kareem Are is still projected as the starter.Last year we had a couple different fronts up there, but this year our biggest thing is five guys come together and being one cohesive bond and doing our jobs, Eberle said.
