Allrounder Jimmy Neesham has been ruled out of the second Test at least because of his rib injury that had kept him out of the Kanpur Test too, but thats not the end of New Zealands problems. The flight supposed to carry Mark Craigs replacement, offspinner Jeetan Patel, was cancelled, and he will now arrive only after midnight of Wednesday, which gives him a little over 24 hours to acclimatise before becoming New Zealands third spinning option. New Zealand will play three spinners unless the pitch is dramatically different from the one in Kanpur or the ones India have been using recently. The second Test starts on September 30 in Kolkata.Jimmy Neeshams injury will rule him out of at least this Test, coach Mike Hesson confirmed. That takes away options in terms of changing our balance a bit. But thats okay. We are not able to get any replacement in time who is a batting allrounder. Unfortunately, we have got a few other injuries at home as well, which makes that really challenging.Neesham, who suffered the rib injury batting in the nets in Delhi, is not the first man to be ruled out on this tour. Tim Southee injured his ankle even before the three-day warm-up game in Delhi. Craig suffered a side strain bowling in the second innings of the Kanpur Test. He came out to bat, but could not resist for long. Of the three New Zealand spinners, Craig was the closest to bowling the optimum pace on Indian pitches, and was the most accurate, especially in the first innings when New Zealand competed more on even terms.If the Kolkata pitch is similar, New Zealand will at least get a like-for-like replacement in Patel, no matter how little acclimatised to the conditions. He is flying from England where he was the leading wicket-taker in the County Championships, with 69 scalps for Warwickshire. New Zealand also have decisions to make in the batting department. Martin Guptill came here under pressure, and with scores of 21 and 0 in Kanpur and 15 and 0 in the warm-up in Delhi, he hasnt done much to free himself of that pressure.With Neesahm out, New Zealand have only one option left should they leave Guptill out, Henry Nicholls, the left-handed batsman who averages 27.62 from six Tests. He had scored a half-century in his last Test, against South Africa in Centurion last month. As New Zealand opted not to train on Wednesday, that decision is likely to be made only on Thursday, the day before the Test.We are restricted in some of our options, Hesson said. We have got Henry Nicholls in our group. Once again he has never played in India but played really nicely in South Africa in conditions that once again are distinctly different. He is a smart lad. He spent the last week trying to keep evolving his game plan. He is an option for us. And we will look at the conditions first before making a call. Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping .

The lower tier of the School End of Queens Park Rangers Loftus Road was packed solid with a very festive-sounding Chelsea choral section in this particular part of South Africa Road London, W12. Ohio State reminded us all last season that sometimes what seems like a good problem is really just a problem.There is no doubt who the quarterback of the Buckeyes will be to start this season. Barring injury, J.T. Barrett is the man and considering all the retooling being done around him, he might just be the most important player in the conference.Unless its the new quarterbacks for Ohio States top two rivals. Defending conference champion Michigan State and Michigan will be breaking in starters. How quickly they bring stability to the position will have a major impact on the playoff hopes of both the Spartans and Wolverines.Those are the givens, but looking beyond the quarterbacks (in most cases) there are other players who will play pivotal roles for their Big Ten teams this season. Here are six:TOMMY ARMSTRONG, QB, NEBRASKAArmstrong has not been at Nebraska since Bill Callahan was coach, but it sure does feel that way for the senior who has been starting since midway through his redshirt freshman season. Armstrongs first season in Mike Rileys offense produced the expected ups and down. He passed for 3,030 yards and 22 touchdowns and ran 400 yards and seven scores. He also completed a substandard 55 percent and tossed 16 interceptions. Cut down on the picks and boost that percentage above 60 and the Cornhuskers could be back in the Big Ten title game.VINCE BIEGEL, LB, WISCONSINThe senior was one of the best linebackers in the country last season, teaming with Joe Schobert to form a devastating pass-rush combo. They combined for 17 1/2 sacks and 23 hurries. Schobert is gone, meaning offenses can pay more attention to Biegel. How will he respond?JALEEL JOHNSON, DT, IOWAThe 310-pound senior pprovides some pass rush in the middle and helps free up leading tackler Josey Jewell.dddddddddddd Even with an All-America at cornerback in Desmond King, Johnson has potential to be the best player on a solid defense.ANDREW NELSON, OT, PENN STATEThe Nittany Lions offensive line had more depth and talent last season, but still not enough production. A healthy Nelson locking down left tackle and providing protection for whoever plays quarterback is paramount. Penn State has some weapons at receiver and running back. The line has to give them a chance to flourish.R.J. SHELTON, WR, MICHIGAN STATEMichigan States new starting quarterback will be looking for a new No. 1 receiver to replace all-conference performer Aaron Burbridge, who had more catches and yards than the Spartans second- and third-leading receivers combined. Shelton was No. 3 with 43 catches for 503 yards. There are talented youngsters on the roster, but Shelton is the leader.MIKE WEBER, RB, OHIO STATEThe promising sophomore missed all of last season with a knee injury. He returns to find plenty of carries waiting for him now that Ezekiel Elliott is in the NFL and Brionte Dunn was dismissed from the team. Its probably too much to ask Weber to be the all-around player Elliott was for the Buckeyes, but he needs to be go-to No. 1 back.---EXTRA POINT:Six more pivotal players: Trey Edmunds, RB, Maryland; Darius Hamilton, DL, Rutgers; Austin Carr, WR, Northwestern; Shannon Brooks, RB, Minnesota; Hardy Nickerson, LB, Illinois; Jonathan Crawford, S, Indiana.---Follow Ralph D.
