coach Jack Del Rio said in a conference call with reporters. T

I was playing for Stone Cross, a second-division team in Sussex, against premier-league side Eastbourne in a county-wide T20 Cup game at Eastbourne.Andy Flower opened the batting with Richard Halsall, former England fielding coach, currently with Bangladesh. Halsall was captain. Darren Stevens, later of Kent, was in the Eastbourne side too.We thought that Eastbourne might reverse their batting line-up, but then we saw Flower and Halsall march out. Terrific.It was a fairly breezy day, going across the ground. I thought it would help my left-arm inswing - outswing to the left-hander. Until I bowled the first one at Flower, that is.Wed heard that Flower had been reverse-sweeping medium-pacers, bowlers who at our level would have been quick bowlers. Guys we would struggle to play normally.First two balls of the game, I bowled two perfectly good, on-a-length awayswingers to the left-hander and they went through the covers for four before anybody moved. It was a typical Flower cover drive, on the up, just leaned into it. Picked up the line and swing so easy. Opened the face of the blade and it came off the bat like a bullet.After that you get a bit nervous, dont you? One of those days when you think. Im going the distance, here. When you know youre out of your league.I said to Halsall down the other end: Whats going to happen when I bowl him a bad ball? He just laughed.Next ball I tried to bowl one that swung back the other way. Ive never been able to do that and it ended up a wide half-volley. Flower was down on one knee trying to reach it, got an under edge and cannoned onto his stumps.As I followed through, he mumbled Shit ball. Our captain, mumbled back. Shit ball, shit wicket.Eastbourne piled up a good 220 in 20 overs. We were about 70 for 9.I said to Halsall in the bar, afterwards, I really, really want to say something to Flower. And Halsall said I wouldnt.One of the Eastbourne players said to me. However many shit balls you bowl for the rest of the time you play cricket, youll always have A Flower, bowled Thornton 8 on your CV.

Bruno Caboclo Jersey .Y. -- Bills receiver Stevie Johnson has a bone to pick with the NFL schedule maker. The undefeated Baltimore Ravens face their biggest test so far Week 4 against the Oakland Raiders and their high-powered offense.Baltimore, however, already got a significant boost to its lineup heading into the game.Linebacker Elvis Dumervil returned to practice and is expected to make his season debut Sunday. The Ravens will need the extra help to contain Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, who torched their secondary for a career-high 351 yards and three touchdowns in their matchup last season. Oakland (2-1) has already won twice on the road.He had a breakout game against us, probably in some ways, last year, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said about Carr. They still have built the offense for him in the same way they built it last year. Theyre going to get the ball off quick. Theyre going to protect him. Theyre going to keep him clean. He hasnt been sacked very much and hasnt had a lot of turnovers -- very few fumbles that hes caused. Thats a formula for success on offense. Theyve done a good job of that, and were going to have to figure out how to counter that.The Ravens are 3-0 for the third time in franchise history (2006 and 2009). Those wins have come by a combined 13 points and against teams that are now a cumulative 1-8. Baltimore has managed just four touchdowns over that stretch.Im not really too worried about it, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco said. I feel like we know what is going on. We feel good about a lot of the things we are doing. We feel like we are ready to burst onto the scene. We have a lot of moving parts, a lot of guys catching passes. I think if we get our run game going a little bit and clean up the little things like penalties, some drrops and a couple missed throws -- stuff like that -- I think we will be going.ddddddddddddWhile the offense has struggled, the Ravens defense has come up big each game. Baltimore is allowing just 254.3 yards per game, second only to Seattle (250.3). The is a big improvement from last season when the Ravens failed to make key stops in the fourth quarter.Its a good group, well coached (with) a lot of talent on the defense, Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said in a conference call with reporters. They mix their coverages. Theyre physical up front. Its a very good football team.Oakland, meanwhile, has the second-best offense in the NFL, averaging 436 yards and 26.7 points per game. Carr has thrown for 867 yards with five touchdowns and one interception. In last seasons matchup, Carr threw the game-winning score to Seth Roberts with 26 second left.The game also marks a homecoming for former Ravens offensive lineman Kelechi Osemele, who signed with Oakland in the offseason for a five-year, $58.5 million deal. Osemele is looking forward to matching up with his former teammates.Its going to be great, Osemele said. I got to practice against these guys for so long and played against these guys for so long that its going to be exciting playing them on Sunday. Theres a few guys, obviously, that its going to be fun to finish through and play against them in a game. You couldnt really finish through and pancake your own teammates (in practice). Just to go out there and talk a little trash and get to compete against those guys is going to be fun. ' ' '
