James Vince will “step up and show his class” when he makes his Test debut for England against Sri Lanka at Headingley, says Nasser Hussain.Vince is in line to bat at No 5 in next weeks first Test, having been called into the squad as a replacement for the now-retired James Taylor.The Hampshire mans first-class batting average is a shade over 41 but Hussain is in no doubt that the right-hander - a regular member of Englands one-day squads - will flourish at the highest level. He really impressed this winter in the limited-overs games and around the team, Hussain said of Vince on Sky Sports News HQ. James Vince has admirers in Trevor Bayliss and Paul Farbrace They couldnt quite get him in the World T20 side but if you spoke to Trevor Bayliss or Paul Farbrace they said that having seen him net that he had something about him.He is a very elegant player and reminds me of Michael Vaughan, not only in his stroke play but also in the fact he is getting 20s and 30s in county cricket yet people think there is a lot more to come. England batsman Joe Root is sure James Vince and Jake Ball will make an impact in Test cricket Hes someone that as he steps up will show his class.Vince will combat a Sri Lanka side devoid of the retired Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene and Hussain expects England to earn revenge from their 1-0 series defeat two years ago. Who is Jake Ball? A look at Englands new seamer Eleven of the 17 players in the Sri Lanka squad were here last time but with no Sangakkara and Jayawardene, the batting looks flimsy, added Hussain.They will be in English conditions, particularly at Durham and Headingley, and if the English seamers get it right with the Duke ball, I think it will be a very one-sided Test series.Watch Englands three-Test series with Sri Lanka live on Sky Sports, starting with the opening game, at Headingley, from 10am on Sky Sports 2 on Thursday, May 19.Also See:England call for Vince and BallRoot backs Hales, ComptonEngland in the 90s previewLive cricket on SkyBlack Friday Shoes Free Shipping .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.

The mixed zone is not a place to make friends.DETROIT -- Another rough return from the disabled list for pitcher Jordan Zimmermann could potentially put his spot in the Tigers rotation in peril.Zimmermann, who has served two stints of a month or more on the disabled list for a neck injury since July, got rocked in the Tigers 11-3 loss to Baltimore on Saturday night, surrendering six runs on four hits with three walks in just one inning (plus four batters faced in the second inning).After the defeat, which left the Tigers trailing the Orioles by one game in the race for the second wild card, manager Brad Ausmus did not commit to Zimmermann making his next start or remaining in the rotation.Thats something to be discussed, Ausmus said. We havent decided that yet.The Tigers appear to have a few different choices. They can keep Zimmermann on regular rest and have him make his next start Thursday against the Twins, use rookie Michael Fulmer in that game, or seek a spot start from either Mike Pelfrey or Buck Farmer.Pelfrey, who was recently moved to the bullpen, is available for only 60 pitches, however, and Farmer will be unusable for at least the next few games because of his workload in long relief Saturday night.When Zimmermann was asked whether he expects to make what would be his regular start Thursday, he said: I hope so. I mean, I hope Im pitching in five days. They havent come and told me anything yet.?Zimmermanns outing on Saturday was frustratingly similar to his last appearance -- another truncated start on Aug. 4 in which he gave up six runs in 1.2 innings pitched before promptly returning to the disabled list.But the 30-year-old insisted he felt good physically and was not hampered by injury.I feel good. I feel like Im back to my old self. I just wasnt able to locate pitches, and its pretty embarrassing going one-plus innings and giving up six runs, Zimmermann said.Ausmus did not seem worried that Zimmermanns health was in question. Previously, Zimmermann admitted to rushing his last comeback attempt, which ultimately resulted in another long absence.Ive never been told that he wasnt 100 percent, Ausmus said. He pitched his rehab, and afterr his last rehab start he said he felt really good.dddddddddddd Thats why we went forward.It was clear from the first inning, however, that this was not the same Zimmermann who began his Tigers tenure with a phenomenal first half and earned American League Pitcher of the Month honors after posting a 5-0 record and a 0.55 ERA for the month of April.Zimmermann began the game by serving up a first-pitch home run to Adam Jones and, three batters later, gave up a two-run shot to Chris Davis. The Orioles have been punishing opponents with their slugging abilities, and the Tigers were no exception Saturday night. When Zimmermann was removed from the game in the second inning, Detroit was already in a 5-1 hole.I was trying for the corner and Id miss 5 inches off or down the middle, Zimmermann said. In a lineup like this, its going to be a long night if youre doing that, and as you saw, thats what happened tonight.Complicating matters is that the Tigers are faced with uncertainty about their rotation while the team is in the midst of a heated playoff race. Ausmus was peppered with questions both before and after the game about whether he contemplated saving Zimmermanns return for the clubs upcoming series against the Minnesota Twins, who have floundered against Detroit this season, rather than an opponent against whom they are jockeying for position.Considering the Tigers face the American League Central-leading Cleveland Indians this weekend, those types of questions -- and the ensuing scrutiny over pitching matchups -- are expected to persist as Detroit tries to snag a postseason spot.We need to win games, Ausmus said of the teams precarious position. Well decide whats going to best help us win games.Zimmermann, who said he has never experienced a stretch like this in his entire career, was frustrated he could not do that on Saturday.Were in it, and you want to go out there and pitch a good game and keep racking up these wins, he said. I was terrible tonight. So this loss is on me. ' ' '
