Gidron Pope - Rangpur RidersWe are not going to see anyone more powerful than this kid in this World Cup or the next one , was how Ian Bishop described Gidron Pope following his blistering knocks at the top of the order in West Indies title-winning run at the Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh earlier this year. The 19-year-old opener struck 232 runs in six innings at an average and strike rate of 38.66 and 107.90 respectively. He is also a livewire on the field, and can pitch in with right-arm offspin.Mohammad Shahzad - Rangpur RidersPlaced ninth on the ICC rankings in T20 internationals, Afghanistans Mohammad Shahzad owns the seventh-highest score and second-highest by an Associate player in T20 internationals. Shahzad is not just about brutal leg-side hoicks and the whippy helicopter shots. He is equally capable of lofting the ball in the V. With Sharjeel Khan not receiving a NOC from the PCB and asked to train for the New Zealand tour instead, Shahzad is expected to be Rangpurs key figure.Tymal Mills - Chittagong VikingsTymal Mills is among the most exciting T20 players in the world. He can bowl yorkers or bouncers at speeds north of 90mph. Ask Graeme Swann or Chris Gayle: A 94.5mph bouncer smacked Swanns arm and sent him to the hospital in 2013, while more recently at the NatWest T20 Blast, Mills yorked Gayle with a 93.3mph thunderbolt. He also has a deceptive slower ball, which will probably be more crucial on the sluggish surfaces in Bangladesh.Having prematurely retired from first-class cricket because of a congenital back condition, Mills hopes to establish himself as a potent force in T20s. He is set to play for Auckland in the Super Smash and Quetta Gladiators in the Pakistan Super League later this season.Nicholas Pooran - Khulna TitansWicketkeeper-batsman Nicholas Pooran was all of 17 when he flayed a 24-ball 54 against Guyana Amazon Warriors that had in their ranks Sunil Narine, Veerasammy Permaul, James Franklin and Mohammed Hafeez, in CPL 2013. His breakthrough CPL season, however, arrived in 2016 when he made 217 runs in eight innings at a strike rate close to 200. He went on to make his T20 debut for West Indies in the UAE in September this year, but struggled against spin - or the lack of it - in conditions not conducive to big-hitting. The BPL now gives him a chance to improve his game on this front.Evin Lewis - Dhaka DynamitesAfter scoring his first T20 hundred - 101 not out off 65 balls - in the 2015-16 Bangladesh Premier League, Evin Lewis said: Chris Gayle is my favorite. I hit a lot of sixes, big sixes like him... its a dream for me to open with him, and hopefully that will happen. He then replaced his injured idol and struck a 49-ball century, the sixth-fastest in T20Is in Lauderhill in August this year. The knock was studded with nine sixes, including five in a Stuart Binny over.Liam Dawson - Rangpur Riders A last-minute addition to the Rangpur squad, England allrounder Liam Dawson struck in each of his first three overs on T20I debut against Sri Lanka in front of his home crowd in Southampton. His figures of 3 for 27 turned out to be the best by a England spinner on T20I debut. In addition to bowling left-arm spin, Dawson can bat anywhere in the line-up. A few sparkling performances in the BPL can help him catch up with Adil Rashid, Englands first-choice spinner, in limited-overs cricket. A.J. Brown Jersey . Speaking to the Chicago Tribune at baseballs Winter Meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, Boras called the former home of the Expos a "tremendous environment" for baseball. Marcus Mariota Jersey . In the lead up - which seemed to begin the moment Mike Geiger blew the whistle in Houston last Thursday night - the Impact rumour mill went into overdrive. The speculation went into meltdown mode, of the golden nugget variety. http://www.authentictitanspro.com/Aj-brown-titans-jersey/ . Brett Kulak and Jackson Houck of the Vancouver Giants were each charged with assault causing bodily harm on Aug. 18, according to the B.C. court services. Steve McNair Youth Jersey . - Goaltender Philippe Desrosiers of the Rimouski Oceanic has broken a shutout record that was only three months old in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Kevin Byard Womens Jersey . If ever they start actually putting pictures beside words in the dictionary, the Blue Jays left-handers mug will appear beside “Consistency. NEW YORK -- Just a couple of days into the seasons second half, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said his team needed to win this one.Fortunately for New York, he had the right men on the mound.Masahiro Tanaka outpitched David Price in their first matchup to win his fourth straight decision, and the Yankees ended Bostons six-game winning streak Sunday night with a 3-1 victory over the Red Sox.I think everybody understood how important it was to win today, Tanaka said through a translator.Starlin Castro keyed New Yorks three-run fourth inning with a double that scored Didi Gregorius from first base, snapping a 10-game drought without an RBI.No. 9 batter Austin Romine lined a go-ahead single with two outs off the glove of diving second baseman Dustin Pedroia. Jacoby Ellsbury added another RBI single off Price, who gave up 11 hits in 5 2/3 innings as the Yankees prevented a three-game sweep.We had to bounce back, Gregorius said. For us, today showed that were fighting.Following a loss on Saturday, Girardi said the Yankees had to turn things around immediately and called Sunday night probably as important (a) game that weve had in July in a long time.New York responded with excellent pitching and a handful of timely hits.When you write up a win for us, this is exactly what we need, Romine said.All-Star slugger Carlos Beltran even called it a must-win game. Well aware he could be an attractive trade target if the Yankees (45-46) decide to sell before the Aug. 1 deadline, Beltran said the current 10-game homestand is important to what the future holds for a lot of guys here.Price (9-7) had only one strikeout following three consecutive outings with 10. Pedroia homered early for Boston, which remained two games behind first-place Baltimore in the AL East.Were right in this all the way through the end, manager John Farrell said.Tanaka (7-2) fanned seven with one walk over six innings of three-hit ball in his latest stingy performance on extra rest. Pitching with six days between starts, the Japanese right-hander improved to 6-0 in 11 starts with more than four days off.He is 1-2 with a 5.33 ERA in his other eight games.More rest means more time to sort of get the inflammation out of your body, Tanaka said.Tanaka had Red Sox hitters in baseballs highest-scoring lineup chasing sliders and splitters below the strike zone. He threw just 87 pitches -- but that was all the Yankees needed because their three big bullpen arms were all fresh and ready to go.I thought he gave us everything he had and I thougght he aired it out in the sixth inning, Girardi said.dddddddddddd We have those three big guys down there for a reason, so Im going to go to them.Dellin Betances, Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman combined for three hitless innings. Chapman worked the ninth for his 18th save in 19 chances, and the Yankees upped their record to 17-1 when all three pitch in the same game.New Yorks bullpen has thrown 19 straight shutout innings.Boston hasnt swept a series at Yankee Stadium since June 2011, and the Red Sox havent won seven in a row overall since June 1, 2014.Youre the guy who goes out there and doesnt help us win that seventh one, thats tough, Price said.LOOSE WITH THE LEFTIESPrice, who leads the AL with 141 strikeouts, fell to 14-9 in 34 career games (33 starts) against the Yankees -- including 1-2 with a 7.79 ERA during his first season in Boston. The left-hander gave up six hits to left-handed hitters (in 11 at-bats), matching a career high.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: RHP Junichi Tazawa (shoulder impingement) threw all his stuff in a 40-pitch bullpen session. But the team would like Tazawa to face hitters in a simulated game -- likely Tuesday -- before activating him from the 15-day disabled list, Farrell said.Yankees: Slumping 1B Mark Teixeira sat out after fouling a ball off his left foot Saturday. He had a CT scan that was negative. Hes just sore, and hell probably be out a few days, Girardi said. Rob Refsnyder played first and went 0 for 3 with a walk. ... C Brian McCann was rested against the left-hander in favor of Romine, even though McCann is 10 for 29 (.345) with three homers vs. Price. Tanaka is 5-0 in six starts with Romine behind the plate.UP NEXTRed Sox: Following a day off, RHP Rick Porcello (11-2, 3.66 ERA) starts Tuesday night at Fenway Park against former Boston RHP Jake Peavy (5-7, 5.09) and the major league-leading San Francisco Giants in the opener of a nine-game homestand. That begins a stretch of 43 scheduled games in 44 days for the Red Sox. Bostons next 20 games are against teams outside the AL East. Farrell said the team thought Porcello would benefit from a few extra days of rest out of the All-Star break.Yankees: RHP Ivan Nova (6-5, 5.18 ERA) will pitch on 10 days rest when he starts the opener of a four-game series Monday night against Baltimore RHP Kevin Gausman (1-6, 4.15). Nova hasnt lasted six innings in any of his past five starts. ' ' '
