Freed of ankle pain that halved the range of movement in his right foot, Mitchell Starc has forecast a concerted Australian attack on Sri Lankas captain Angelo Mathews in the three-Test series that begins in Pallekele on Tuesday.Following a dispiriting tour of England and amid a surfeit of injuries to Sri Lankas fast bowlers, Mathews is set to face a searching examination from the No. 1-ranked Australians, who have often worked diligently to undermine the authority of opposition captains by limiting their capacity to perform on the field.Starc contrasted Mathews with his opposite number Steven Smith, who has so far performed very strongly as both batsman and captain for Australia. Look, hes under pressure, Starc said of Mathews in Pallekele. Hed be under pressure after the English tour and as a captain hell have to go through that pressure and perform as well. And thats something that Steve, for us, does really well.Hes been fantastic as a captain and led from the front as well, so no doubt well put a lot of pressure on Angelo to perform. Hes got to lead as captain, so hell be a big wicket for us along with [Dinesh] Chandimal. For their bowlers [Rangana] Herath is the most experienced one and one that well try and counter.Starc came unscathed through the ODI tri-series in West Indies in June, and found some useful new-ball rhythm during Australias tour match at the P Sara Oval in Colombo. He has now gotten used to the unusual experience of bowling without discomfort in his right foot, and will seek to swerve the ball through a Sri Lankan side that has lost Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene and Tillakaratne Dilshan since he last bowled to them, in Australia three years ago.Its fantastic to not see the three big names line up against us, Starc said. There were a few tough moments with those experienced batsmen in the line-up. Theyre obviously a bit light on [experience] in the Sri Lankan team. They are coming off a series defeat in England, but back in their home conditions, they know it best and theyll be up for a fight.Well have to be at our best, but at the same time if we can make some early inroads and expose that inexperience, weve definitely got a fantastic bowling line-up to go through them.From the more pleasant vantage point of seven months after surgery, Starc outlined exactly how much his right foot had degenerated before he surrendered to the surgeons knife. A two-centimeter fragment of bone broke off his ankle during last years first Ashes Test in Cardiff, before painkilling injections were required to deaden all feeling in the foot.He carried on despite this obvious handicap until the third Test of the home series against New Zealand in November 2015, where he broke another bone in the same foot and hobbled his way to the winning runs under lights at Adelaide Oval when clearly restricted. That second injury provided the catalyst for surgery, including the removal of the aforementioned fragment, the shaving of three bone spurs from the ankle and the excision of plenty of scar tissue besides.From days when he could only flex his ankle around two centimeters, Starc now has a range of movement closer to 14 centimeters. It feels great. Having that bone taken out has done wonders for it, Starc said. That movement has been fantastic, ever since I started bowling again from surgery. There has definitely been no pain there through the West Indies and through the start of this tour. Its a fantastic result and Im looking forward to hopefully playing a much longer period of cricket now.No longer needing to worry about physical restrictions, Starc has concentrated on tactical and technical work with the interim bowling coach Allan Donald, with whom he also shares an IPL team.Weve been working with Craig [McDermott] for a number of years now. To bring in AD (Donald) with a different set of eyes and a different set of theories is nice. Its always nice to freshen things up and see what hes got to offer on that topic as well, Starc said. We all reverse the ball pretty well, its just about doing it more often and getting it in those right areas here in Sri Lanka where its going to be needed a lot more.I will always bowl my own way and if it means bowling a few yorkers here and there which I probably normally do anyway. Its about getting that consistency a lot of us have had through the last 12 to 18 months. Josh Hazlewood has been fantastic at that, hitting a spot and really wearing batsmen down and taking a lot of wickets. Im trying to get back to that consistency I had before I broke down.I was feeling really, really good through that Perth Test (against New Zealand) and even through the few overs I had in Adelaide was where I really wanted to be in Test cricket. Im always going to attack and try to take those early wickets, and Im happy to go for a couple of runs if I can take early wickets.Given the likelihood of two spinners being chosen, Starc can look forward to short, sharp spells at the other end, where Smith will seek to keep his pace up at its most destructive pitch. If he can do that, the pain he once felt in his ankle will instead be felt by the batsmen. Cheap Nike Air Max Shoes Wholesale .

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Matt Shoemaker once joked about a curse that plagued him every five days. It appears as though the curse has been lifted.Shoemaker scattered six hits and struck out a career-high 13 in his first complete game in the majors, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Chicago White Sox 1-0 on Saturday night.Matty has talked about trying to get over that hump and trying to get outs late in the game to close out, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. Certain times this year he hasnt been able to close the door. Tonight he did.James Shields threw a two-hitter but was outdueled by Shoemaker, who walked none. Shoemaker (5-9) has allowed only four earned runs in his last five home starts.Adam Eaton doubled to lead off the ninth and Melky Cabrera singled with one out to put runners on the corners. Shoemaker hoped for a double-play ball with Todd Frazier at the plate but couldnt get it. Instead, he struck out Frazier and Justin Morneau to end the game.Just trying to execute a really good pitch, Shoemaker said. Strikeouts are good, but in that situation a double play is the best-case scenario.Shields (4-11) allowed a leadoff triple to Yunel Escobar in the first inning but wouldnt allow another hit until the eighth. He walked two, struck out two and threw just 91 pitches.For the most part, I was pounding the strike zone, Shields said. I got behind the count in a few innings and then got myself back into it, got some ground balls. Me and (catcher Dioner Navarro) were on the same page rhythm-wise and it was good.Mike Trout drove in Escobar with a groundout in the first. It was the second straight game and the second time this season the Angels have won without Trout or Albert Pujols hitting safely.Theres not very many timmes that the leadoff hitter decides the game, Shields said.dddddddddddd Its a tough loss right there. We need to win these games, theres no doubt about it, but we need to move on.Chicago has now been held scoreless in its last three games and hasnt scored since July 9 against the Atlanta Braves.White Sox manager Robin Ventura said the frustration is visible and its starting to wear on hitters. However, Ventura isnt worried that it will become a long-term problem.You wear it if its just one game, let alone three, Ventura said. Weve got to figure it out and well get there.The Angels won the three-game series with the victory and the White Sox have won just one series against Los Angeles since 2010.The White Sox optioned infielder Carlos Sanchez to Triple-A Charlotte following the game. A corresponding roster move will be announced Sunday.TRAINERS ROOMWhite Sox: LHP Carlos Rodon played catch from 60 feet on Saturday. Rodon said hed like to return within the next week but is still unsure of his timeline and Ventura said he would likely need a rehab start. The White Sox placed Rodon on the 15-day disabled list on July 10 with a sprained left wrist.UP NEXTWhite Sox: RHP Jacob Turner will make his first major league start since 2014 on Sunday when hes recalled to take Rodons spot in the rotation. Turner missed most of 2015 with elbow issues and has gone 4-7 with a 4.71 ERA in 18 starts for Triple-A Charlotte.Angels: RHP Jered Weaver looks to continue his career dominance of the White Sox in Sundays series finale.
