Melbourne are living proof of the adage that what doesnt kill you makes you stronger.Celebrating an NRL preliminary final berth after their 16-10 win over defending champions North Queensland at AAMI Park, captain Cameron Smith said it was all the more special given his teams horror injury run through the season.The Storm lost superstar fullback Billy Slater (shoulder) for the season in round one while Test centre Will Chambers was out for almost three months with a fractured foot.Along the way the Storm also had to bring in replacements for five-eighth Blake Green (calf), fullback Cameron Munster (ankle), bustling winger Marika Koroibete (ankle), prop Jordan McLean (ankle) and promising centre Curtis Scott (broken leg), who all suffered serious injuries.It was a battle and a challenge every week, particularly early on when we lost almost an entire starting backline, Smith said.After Billy (Slater) we lost Will (Chambers) for 11 weeks which is a huge chunk of time for your No.1 centre to be out of the game and then we lost a few big men through the middle part of the year.That was probably what put us in this position; the way we handled that, and Im really proud of that.The Storm have only one injury concern from the Cowboys match with workhorse Dale Finucane suffering an ankle injury.The lock made 32 tackles despite going down with the injury five minutes into the second half and being unable to play out the game.Coach Craig Bellamy hoped it wasnt anything serious but said it was hard to tell with Finucane.Hes been wonderful for us this year and in that first half he was outstanding, Bellamy said.Sometimes with players like Dale youre not quite sure how bad their injury is because theyre so tough and they dont want to come off but we think he should be right for the prelim.Eric Bledsoe Jersey .

He relies more on drift than turn, but what makes him a threat is the quick-arm action that helps him get the ball to skid through quickly. Sharjeel Khans modus operandi revolves around camping back and playing the pull, which he does so effectively most times. In the first T20I, he tried to pull Badree, only to see the ball skid on faster and beat his swing to hit leg stump. On Saturday, Badree, bowling with a relatively dry ball, kept it fuller to force Sharjeel to play off the front foot, and a string of dots in the first two overs forced him to attempt a jabbing drive which he chopped on. Badrees smile at having Sharjeels number for the second time in as many matches was as telling as any send-off.The misjudgement Nicholas Pooran may have fond memories of playing in Dubai. It was here that he made a sparkling 143 against Australia at the Under-19 World Cup in 2014. For a brief while on Saturday, though, he could have been excused for wanting to run out of the venue as fast as possible. Fielding at long leg, he was guilty of charging in a little too much to completely misjudge a whip from Khalid Latif. While it isnt clear if Dubais ring of fire floodlights may have affected his sight, the manner in which Pooran scampered back in an atteempt to recover suggested he was just caught completely off guard.dddddddddddd He eventually leapt high to take it, but only landed on his behind as the ball plonked a few inches behind him.The celebration West Indies captain Carlos Brathwaite struck off the next ball following Poorans dropped chance. He got the in-form Babar Azam, and the relief was palpable. Even as Azam was making the walk back, Brathwaite invited attention with a unique mid-pitch jig that, at first, seemed like an angry gesture. Then he laughed and repeated the jig: both feet off the ground and his left forearm covering his eyes as he hopped repeatedly. His team-mates soon joined in to complete what was later termed the dab.Malik gives up, Taylor misses Shoaib Malik was sent a yorker when he stepped out to Jerome Taylor, but he managed to squeeze it out. The ball squirted towards the bowler, with Malik still nearly halfway down the pitch. The batsmen thought it would be futile to attempt to dash back to safety. Taylor had all the time in the world to run up to the stumps and knock the bails off, but decided to throw at the wicket. As it turned out, he could not hit any of the three stumps from less than 10 yards away. He could not even get close. ' ' '
