n the fastest to 7000 runs; he would have taken another 100 games, Shastri said. If that was the case, Rohit Sharma would not be having two double hundreds, and a score of 264.

Its 11th v 12th in Super League this week - but you wouldnt believe that these two teams were top four finishers last season. Leeds, of course, won the league, but Huddersfield also finished third in the regular season. Injuries have decimated both sides this season, ensuring neither club have won a game yet - so who will overcome the early season problems to notch that first win? We look at three crucial head-to-heads:Leroy Cudjoe v Kallum Watkins Watch Leroy Cudjoe in action for Huddersfield Giants in the Super League Watch out for the two number 3s this week. Two of Englands finest centres, Kallum Watkins and Leroy Cudjoe are very similar in some respects - both coming through their respective clubs academies before developing into key parts of the attack. Teams often single out Watkins as Leeds most dangerous player and its easy to see why. Watkins is just as comfortable putting his winger through a gap with a deft offload as he is making a searing outside break. In 2015, his 30 clean breaks were the second highest recorded in the league, while his 47 offloads was the second best in a Rhinos shirt. Teams have marshalled him well so far in 2016, but there were signs against Catalans of what he can do, scoring twice in that defeat. Dont expect him to stay quiet for long. Give Watkins space at your own peril. On the Huddersfield side, Cudjoes been a regular part of the England squad in recent years, but hell have been disappointed to miss out on making an appearance in the Test series against New Zealand. The Giants strike centre laid on 16 assists last season and provided 31 offloads, the third most in the side. He doesnt score as many himself, just seven in 2015, but instead concentrates on creating opportunities for Jermaine McGillvary, one of the leagues best finishers. Its been a quiet start for Cudjoe along with his team, no tries and no assists yet for the centre, but hes central to Paul Andersons attacking plans. Watch out for the Cudjoe/McGillvary combination on Friday. Watch Kallum Watkins in action for Leeds Rhinos in the Super League Ryan Hall v Jermaine McGillvaryThey lined up together in an England jersey last season, but on Friday night Ryan Hall and Jermaine McGillvary will be locking horns on their respective wings. Expect fireworks from that match-up! Watch Ryan Hall in action for Leeds Rhinos in the Super League Leeds star studded backline contains Englands highest try scorer in Hall. Hes got 26 tries in his countrys colours and the winger has proved time and time again he knows the way to the line. Top scorer last season with 19, hes also topped the Rhinos seasonal charts another five times since his debut in 2007. His power in attack is also a useful weapon for Brian McDermott, with 2856 metres made and an average gain of 7.56m in 2015 impressive for any outside back. Hes made yards in 2016 - 313 exactly, the third most in the Leeds side - but will want to see his tries for column going up - just two so far this season. But one of his most important scores came against Huddersfield to claim the League Leaders Shield last season, so dont bet against him going over on Friday. Watch Jermaine McGillvary in action for Huddersfield Giants in the Super League It will be difficult for Jermaine McGillvary to beat 2015. Super Leagues top scorer with 27, the flying winger also made his England debut in the third Test against New Zealand. And he impressed against the Kiwis too with strong kick returns. Not that McGillvarys kick returns are a mystery to Super League opposition; indeed he was the second highest metre maker in 2015 with 3888m. Hes started 2016 in similar fashion with 285 metres made, the second most in the Huddersfield side. But McGillvary will be aiming to improve on his one try so far, especially considering his strike rate last season. So if Leeds are to win this one, they need to shut down McGillvarys kick returns and starve him of opportunities to get over the whitewash.Brett Ferres v Ukuma TaaiTheres one person to keep a special eye on this Friday and thats the Leeds second row Brett Ferres. Off-field problems led to his transfer listing at Huddersfield and the Rhinos decided to bring him to Headingley. And you can be sure Ferres put a big ring round the fourth league game when the fixtures came out - the first clash against his old teammates. Rugby League tickets Get Magic Weekend, Super League and Challenge Cup tickets Ferres has made a solid start to his Rhinos career, despite the poor form of his new club. Known for his work rate, he tops Leeds tackle list with 113 and, more impressively, has only missed 15. Never afraid to get his hands dirty, Ferres has carried 52 times this season, the third best in the Rhinos ranks, while also making 328 metres, the second best in the side. Impressive stuff - and he can do plenty with the ball as well, 11 offloads the most for Leeds. Discipline might be a concern for Brian McDermott, as Ferres has conceded the most Rhinos penalties so far with four, but all the signs so far suggest the second rower is a very solid investment.As for Huddersfield, theyll be looking to get an early shot on Ferres. And second row enforcer Ukuma Taai could be the man to get stuck into the Leeds pack. He delivers consistently powerful performances for the Giants and his stats this season are no different. 97 tackles (third in the Huddersfield rankings), 241 metres (fourth in the Huddersfield rankings) and 7.53m average gain (also fourth in the Huddersfield rankings) show hes put his hand up for work despite his sides poor form. Thats some impressive go-forward for a second rower. He also knows where the try line is too, indeed Taai got over the whitewash in the first game of the season against St Helens, while he was Huddersfields joint-third top scorer last season with 11. He could be the ace in the pack for the Giants come Friday night.Watch Sky Sports News HQ at 11.30am every Wednesday for your Super League preview.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jerseys China .C. -- Al Jefferson joked that he feels he can score from anywhere on the court. Cheap Buccaneers Jerseys China .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. Glenn Maxwell has compared the Indian batsmens approach unfavourably to the Australians when nearing a milestone, but Cricket Australia have been quick to do damage control.It began after the third ODI in Melbourne with a question quoting Matthew Hayden from 10 years ago. Maxwell, who had scored a match-winning 96 in that match, was noncommittal in response but before the Sydney ODI, he eliminated the doubts around what he said.They were probably just making sure they got to a milestone, Maxwell had said in Melbourne. Some people are milestone-driven, some people arent. If it means that much to you, you go for it. But its not something that drives me too much. Each to their own.In Sydney though, Maxwell went from generic to specific. He told Wisden India: I knew it [the comment] was going to blow up. It didnt really bother me. I was sent a photo the other day, it said Virat was 84 off 63, and then 100 off 89 or something like that. He got his last 11 runs off 22 balls to get his hundred. I thought about that and I was like, Jeez, he did it so easily all the way up until then, and then you just lose a bit of momentum. I have been thinking about that.Then you look on the other hand, when you watch David Warner get into the 90s and he tries to hit Ishant Sharma for a slog sweep for six. Its just, to me, thats two complete different ends of the spectrum. And then you look at the scoreline and you see 4-0. And to me, Id much rather be 4-0 basically.Maxwell said his side didnt care about milestones. The way Boof [Darren Lehmann, the coach] has talked to us always has been: Take the game on, take the game on, take the game on. I dont care if youre on 90, I dont care if youre on zero, take the game on.Cricket Australia and BCCI enjoy a fruitful relationship under the new Big Three arrangement. CAs website was quick to do an interview with Maxwell to clarify his statements, but he didnt quite take them back.Maxwell would, however, tweet that they were taken out of context and said he was in awe of how Kohli almost single-handedly chased down 349 in Canberra.I was asked to give a bit of an assessment of who was dominating with the bat in this series, and I said, I dont think anyone in the world is hitting the ball better than Virat at the moment, Maxwell told cricket.com.au.The point that I was making, and it related more to when India were setting totals and had plenty of wickets in hand, is that the scoring rate seemed to slow as milestones got close, which can sometimes be the case, especially when teams are batting first.Maintaaining a constant scoring rate can be less straightforward batting first than when youre chasing and you know what the required rate has to be, and there have been times when batters just seem to have slowed a bit to make sure they reach those milestones.dddddddddddd Sometimes that wins you games, and sometimes it doesnt but that was the only point I was trying to make. Ive got a really good relationship with Virat off the field, and Ive already had a chat with him.The clarification doesnt make it disappear that he compared the Indian batsmens efforts with that of Warner, who too, was setting a total and got out in the 90s trying to play a big shot.Steven Smith, Australias captain, said the slowing down near a milestone was natural. I think that can be natural for anyone around the world, Smith said. When you see that sort of milestone coming, in the back of your mind you might slow down a little bit. I think Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are quality players and theyre batting beautifully, and I dont see any problem with any selfishness there.Aaron Finch distanced himself from Maxwells comments. The talk of Indian players being selfish was obviously Glenns view; thats not my personal view, Finch said. Virat Kohli got a 100 off 80-odd balls the other day. There was nothing selfish about that innings. That was an extraordinary, extraordinary innings. Shikhar Dhawan got it off about 95 balls, I think. He took the game on at the start for India along with Rohit, and got them off to an absolute flyer. Gee, there are some seriously good players in India. Virat… 25 ODI hundreds now. Thats an unbelievable achievement.In the three ODIs that India batted first, they scored 67, 67 and 60 from overs 31 to 40. These have been the overs when their set batsmen have approached their hundreds. In Perth, Rohit took 24 balls from 83 at the start of the 31st over to reach his century. Similarly in Brisbane, between the 30th and the 40th overs, Rohit took 21 balls to move from 86 to 100. Virat Kohli took 15 balls to score the last 16 runs to his century between the 38th and 43rd overs in Melbourne.Team director Ravi Shastri, though, had defended his men before the Canberra ODI. If they were focusing on milestones, Virat Kohli wouldnt have been the fastest to 7000 runs; he would have taken another 100 games, Shastri said. If that was the case, Rohit Sharma would not be having two double hundreds, and a score of 264.
